I think I'm in love with little red tractors!!! In this case it's an IA that I think started life orange. Anyway, has been snowing since I got it but sun came out and I went out to see if it would run. I pulled a plug and looked inside, lots of carbon but no rust. Put in battery from my FA. Looked in tank, empty and nice, put in gas. Opened valve, gas dripping from carb, tapped it twice, or thrice, dripping stopped. Radiator empty, filled with 50/50, no leaks in 10 minutes. Had oil so---- Mag off, full choke and tried starter---nothing but a hot cable. Got crank and pulled 6 times, its 18 degrees outside. Engine stiff but pulled. Half choke, mag on and pulled it----fired!!!! Surprised me and I slipped and fell on my butt, kind of tripped on plow blade strut. It sputtered, popped, smoked, then roared--no muffler you see. Crud sprayed out all over the place but it stopped smoking and just sat there and ran. So I'm sitting there rubbing my butt and I see the plow blade lift up off the ground!!! The handle was left in the up lock position and I didn't check. Put it in neutral and the blade dropped about half way and held. Cycled up and down a couple of times and it holds fine. Ya gotta love em! My JD is now ungainly looking and glonky and the C4 Cat is now just noisy and chews up everything. Besides, they are both a pain to start.

If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
