I know those tractors don't have petcocks from the factory, but isn't there a place to install them? Possibly in the underside of the block? I seem to remember seeing holes in the underside of the block on my 60, plugged with pipe plugs, although I can't remember for sure - maybe I'm imagining things. Or maybe the newer number series tractors don't have that hole.

First tractor I ever drove was a 730 LP They don't have petcocks. They always slow down when they're on the compression stroke.

Steve,

First, two possible problems. Timing is off or starter is weak.

Remedy #1: Start engine and adjust timing accordingly. Simple fix.

Remedy #2: After years of use they tend to get weaker. Just send it to a local rebuilder and tell them what it is doing, dragging e.g. and they'll get it back good as new.

Any problems just e-mail.

OK I really don't know much about the number series. But if it did. They would probably be under the tractor. That is where the late A and B have it. I really don't know, but if it did. That is where I would look.
