Hi everyone. I couldn't get my 1939 JD H started right away today. Gas on. Full choke. Partial throttle. I really struggled with this. To the point where I had to rest. Finally started after it seemed like forever. I've seen video's on starting these tractors manually and I followed what I saw.
I even pulled a spark plug thinking it was fouled. Nope. Just carbon. No signs of fuel. Finally, for whatever reasons, it started. Drove it around the yard for a while and then it stalled when I tried 3rd gear. Pushed back into the garage. More effort and it started again. Am I doing something wrong?? I can;t go through this every time I want to start this tractor. Thanks for any suggestions or idea's, Nicholas C.
