HMan and all who helped, thanks! Stupid error on my part. One of my manuals says the bottom mag wire goes to the flywheel side, the other manual correctly says the top one does. I switched wires, timed it, added fluids, mounted guages and twisted the flywheel.

It was so tight I thought I would have to pull it, but after a little heavy breathing it popped. I ran it for about 45 minutes to loosen it up a bit. Kind of hurts to see that green paint turn dark with the heat. Sure glad I used high temp paint on the manifold. Should have kept going with it right out the exhaust.

Congrats are in order for you. The H is, as JJ would say "LOOKIN GOOD" Hope you have all the fun and good times showing it off. We all knew the H would not get the best of you. I can remember the first time I got my 1929 D to come to life again. It was a wonderful feeling. Don't let this be your last. You have mastered it for sure. If you need any more info let me know and I will try to scan it and send it to you if I have the info.

The camera is new. I did a bunch of homework and bought a Nikon Coolpix 800. This pic is the first one in daylight as the camera came midweek. I saved the pic with reduced resolution so it wouldn't take so long to load. Original, printed on an Epson Stylus color printer, looks just like a 5x7 photo. Ain't technology grand?

Thanks all for the congrats and the advice. Now, I need to work on getting this ear to ear smile to fade a bit.

Nice looking unit. Only a true J-D fanatic would have to get it purring at that stage ! Congrats - it's kind of like a birth or something - that's how my MC felt.

Mike, Hey, that thing looks great. Maybe you could let us see it after it was put back together? Keep up the good work. I love to see restored tractors, but I don't have the patience to restore one myself. I really admire someone who can restore a tractor and make it look like brand new. Good luck, Shorty.

Mike congrats! I am getting itchy trying to get that 4400 combine going. Mrs. Red wants it home so we can put Christmas lights on it.
