well i got the to 30 i rescued to run tonite, had to disassemble the entire fuel system and carb and clean it all, then put in new plugs, wires, points, condenser, rotor, cap,and ignition switch, and now i have 3 small gas leaks and the oil line is broken but thats the easy stuff, at least it runs, it has sat out for several years while several ace mechanics tried to start it, you should have seen the points, no way would this have ever run being hotwired [ i guess whoever did that had no idea what the "S" is for on the gearshift

Maybe they were stupid like me and thought that S was a 5. I couldn't figure out why it wouldn't go into 5th gear!

You're way ahead of me. I have all those parts you mentioned, but they're still in a box in my garage. I probably won't get to it until after Christmas now as it seems my Saturdays are all planned for me until then.

My guess is that your tractor's previous owner thought that the "S" near the gearshift stood for "STUPID" and thusly "hot wired" it.

yours looks like a fun project i still have no idea in this one will charge or not the oil presure line is rotted in half so i got to fix that before i run it long enough to see it didnt move the amp gauge but its a 12 volt conversoin done a long time ago and it may not even be hooked up, also didnt check the hudraulics yet but i had to pry a decent rear blade loose from it so it should be ok, it had 4 flats,and had sunk into the ground 6 inches was a little fun to load too

This one sat out for a long time and none of the gauges worked when I bought it. I've replaced all 3 gauges but don't have the ammeter hookedback up yet. I waiting for my daughter to reach under the dash and connect the wires. My hands will not fit under the left side of the dash

sounds just like the 35 I'm working on. Runs better each time I use it. Seems its started charging and I just replaced 3/4 of the wiring and all the electrical switches. Kinda fun making them run after being neglected. I had to jack this up and change a wheel just to move it home. I should have sandblasted and painted Fergy wheel centers and rims installed next weekend, they are drying now.
