I bought a 49 A (big smile) This has a 60 head and duplex carb on it. The only way to shut it down is to pull the throttle all the way back. They have the idel set low enough that it dies. This does not seem like the rite way to shut if off, is it? It has a Mag on it and I don't any way to kill it by a switch. I plan on pulling this tractor and I need some wheel wieghts. What can I exspect to pay for them. They don't have to be J.D. wieghts? Just a ball park figure is what I am after. Thanks for your help. BUDD

Back in the middle of the last century my dad bought a used H and the dealer supplied a new set of manuals. At the time I had the Ops. manual memorized and one of the big points I remember was the instruction was to close the fuel valve and drain the carb. But remember, these were all-fuel engines and this instruction was to get the kerosene out of the system. From the operation stand point back then these tractors were hand start and started in the morning and ran all day thru relief breaks and sometimes lunch. Today if you're running gasoline and have a starter do what you gotta do.

Budd, Congratultions on your "new " A. The technically correct way to shut it off is to run it out of fuel, I believe the operators manual recommends having the throttle set to stop the engine by pulling it to the closed position, as it is now.Bob

Budd on the kill switch,I removed the cover on mag and located the points then drilled a small hole in case to past a wire thru and connected to the points(siliconed) around wire to keep water out then put a switch in dash one side of switch put the mag. wire and on the other pole go to grd. and you have a kill switch. I purchased a bunch of MM & Oliver wheel weights for about twenty bucks apiece(140 lbs) suitcase weights could cost you a little more.Later Gman
