This may cause some to laugh, some to cry. I've been fighting with my B for months trying to figure out why it took a battery charger to start it, and why it wouldn't run right. My problems started with stupidity. First thing city boys find out when they try farming is how hard it is to back wagons into a barn. I solved this problem by pushing them in with the B. Sometimes though a flat tire or other things would cause the front end to rear up in doing this. This happened enough times to crack the frame. I finally taught myself to back wagons in the barn since I now had no choice. That's when the trouble started. I decided that since I could always get it to start with a battery charger I had to have electrical or wiring problems. Had the starter overhauled and a new switch put on, put on new battery cables, points, plugs. No help. When it ran you couldn't adjust the carburetor. Decided since it sat over the winter the carburetor needed to be cleaned. In taking it off found that the ear for mounting to the intake manafold had broken off. Had that welded to the carburetor. Still would not start with the battery. Finally closely checked the cap and rotor. Took emery paper and carefully cleaned the contacts on the rotor and cap. Rolled the engine over twice and it fired right up. Starts every time now. No electronic ignition, no 12 volt, no Lincoln welder across the battery terminals. Just a common repair to a good old JD design.
I learned something, and boy its just great to hear the old B sing again!!! Thought you all like to know.
