Good day everyone, my first post on the site. Here we go! The camp that I am maintenance director at purchased a '58 WD45 this spring. I have used this tractor for many duties and it has been great! the other day, however, I went to start it and pull the starter rod and it crank over as normal. It didn't start in the first few seconds, so i let off the starter and was going to apply the choke and try again. I pull the starter rod and this time it was just a click and not much of one.

Thankyou.
