RUSTY OL FARMALL
New User
Hey yall how's everyone. Let me introduce myself to everyone, my name is Mike and I'm 19 years old, have had a love for old tractors since I was a little kid and finally got my first tractor(back in November), a 1957 farmall cub, well I've always heard about how these old generators wernt the greatest at charging :| and me and my dad just today got the ol cub converted to 12volts and re wired it like the diagram said. We went to crank it as a test(gas tank and grille was still off) and it barely made a full cycle and popped a couple of little sparks out of the little starter and the starter wouldn't turn anymore after that, we kept pulling the starter lever and it was clicking like it had a dead battery, we are getting 12 volts to the starter even though it wont turn. It's the original Delco Remy starter and could the 12 volts cooked the starter or the starter solenoid or could it just of died on that last turn? Thanks for the help and advice, Mike
