I decided to go with everyones advice on keeping the wisconsin engines on the balers instead of replacing with cheap replacement engine.

I played around with one of the wisconsins today and after cleaning the points and adding fresh fuel got it started after about 30 pulls. Now it starts on the first pull and seems to run good.

Found a new head gasket on ebay for the other engine. Can"t wait to get that one running too.

THANKS TO ALL for the good advice.

Plus it sounds awesome. Not tinny like todays engines.

I was surprised a few years ago to find that our local New Holland dealer can get most of the engine parts for Wisconsin engines. Not sure about now though. Wisconsins always were on tough engine.

Had one of those engines on a 14T once wouldn't
start when it got hot, Changed from Champion plugs to AC, and it started a lot better when hot.

How big is your Wisconsin engine, HP and Displacement. I am right now (today) putting a newer 13Hp briggs and Stratton in my old Bolens G12. The original Techumseh engine has had carb problems since I bought it 3 years ago and I ran a little rough too.

Glad you listened to the prior posts and got the old girl running again. There's nothing sweeter than hearing one of those engines opening up the governor with every stroke of the plunger.

On the other hand, they were a real mother-of-dogs to start again when they were hot.

Enjoy it, and don't get on the wagon behind that baler...it's much easier to be the owner/operator, for sure.

Check around at you local lawn mower shops, bring the engine numbers and you will probably find you can get a lot of parts that way. Also if you have an O'reillys auto parts store around I have found a good number of parts from them. If they where my engines I would have or would have had tranny fluid in the cylinder to help lube them up and unstick the rings. Never hurts to do that each winter when you park them for the winter. Putting tranny fluid in the cylinders will keep the cylinders free of rust and keep the rings from sticking

Way to go proud of you. You will have those balers hooked in tandem behind that power plant of yours eating up two windrows at a time just think you will have everyone doing that. Or maybe not!!!!!

Add some oil to gas to lube valve stems, common problem on old flatheads that set over winter, especially in moist areas. WD40, PB blaster, trans fluid, 2 stroke oil, low ash IHC nondetergent oil, Marvel Mystery oil, whatever. RN
