Case L questions

1. Does some one have a picture of the connector rod that goes from the mag to the pivot pin (for adjusting timing)?

2. What is the best place to start it (in regards to timing)?

3. I have an external oil refiner (about 14" tall, 8" dia). How do you open the darn thing?

4. What do I need to think about when I try and start this beast?

5. How can I assure the thing will die when I want it to? mag kill wire or something else

6. How do I stop the thing once I get it moving since it doesn't seem to have brakes (other than the parking brake)?

7. The flapper in the manifold - where should it be and what does it do (when working right)? When working correctly, how do you make it move (what rod or thing do you move to make it move)? Mine is rusted in an almost horizontal position. Will this cause a problem with starting or running?

8. Can someone give me the measurements for the fenders? Width, where the ridges are, the heighth of the bumps etc.

9. Therre is a little sign on the head and I can't read it all. The first part is: Important Keep cover tight on gasket to prevent dirt & water _____ _____ _____ ___ (unknown words). Can somebody finish the message?

I think that is it - at least for now.

Thanks.

The throttle handle was linked directly to the carburetor butterfly and the governor arm was linked directly to the manifold butterfly. Never did the two link together. They realized their mistake rather quickly and changed to the more functional setup of throttle handle linked to governor linked to carburetor to better manage changing loads on the tractor while working.

I'm not sure the divorced governor even made it all the way through the 29 model year, but it was definitely gone by 1930. The divorced governor is one of several hallmarks that make the 1929 very unique from the other Ls.

6) The parking brake will stop the tractor.
