I received this Email and since I don't have muck experience wit older Cockshutts I thought you fellows would be able to help. They haven't replied back with a model number.
Hi there:
Sure hope you can help two old pensioners.
Writing for my brother Al. He has an older 4 cylinder gas Cockshutt tractor. Was using it and all of a sudden it stopped and will not start. He got the distributor rebuilt and put it back in. The motor was rebuilt about 5 or 6 years ago but only has about 100 hours on it since then. Cam was not replaced. When he puts in the rebuilt distributor and rolls motor over the distributor does not move. Looked from the bottom oil pump and all the gears are turning when motor is turned over.
Can you tell me what you think it could be or at least what to check out. We are baffled.
Any help greatly appreciated as we are both getting a bit too old for this. Young mechanic wants to tear the whole tractor apart and my brother is trying to figure out what it could be.
Thanking you so much in advance.
Merle Smith.
PS: My brother's name is Al Smith Can you email me back - either of us that great with these computers
