Hello everyone. I'm new to these parts, but I heard it was a great place to get some tractor knowledge!
So here's the story:
My grandpa bought a Farmall 200 in 1958 from his brother used. According to my grandma, his brother's son drove the thing to hell. Over the years, it's had it's many problems, probably related to the fact that it was the primary tractor for 40 years (we also have an Allis B, but that wasn't used nearly as much).
Lately we've used my uncle's 2006 JD 5103 for most things. It's a pretty good tractor, just no 4x4 (I don't know why he didn't get one that had the option) and it's very light compared to the 200, even with the weights we put on it.
So we decided to finally take a look at it, and we discovered that the points were bad. My uncle said he fixed them about two weeks ago, so a few days ago I went over to my grandmas to see if the pig would start. I sprayed some ether in the air cleaner and it started I think the second time I pulled the starter cable. I put it in reverse and after about 15 feet it died, and wouldn't start again. It then did the same thing yesterday. So what gives?
