Our rail road museum has a Ford 4000 forklift with a 4 cylinder engine. I asked a couple of questions here about it last week and have a few more now. I'm told a couple of weeks ago the distributor cap came partial detached and the inside the cap and rotor got messed up pretty bad. They bought a new cap and rotor and I went down to help them get the machine started as our mechanic is laid up for a while. We put on the cap and rotor and while cranking the tractor I noticed the cap wobbles as the rotor turns inside. Never seen that on a distributor before and what ever is causing that is probably why the cap came off to begin with. I don't find any slop on the rotor shaft either side to side or in and out. Its way tighter than any of my Farmall distributor shafts. We also don't have any spark but the points are pitted real bad so next time down we are changing them. My big concern is the cap wobbling and what is causing that. It does have some weak clips holding it but I can't imagine the rotor hitting the cap enough to make it move when everything is right. Anyone got some ideas for me. My tractors are all Farmalls and this thing is quite different from them.

The discussion started out with the following post: " I am in the market for an older tractor (to be read... cheap). I have been told a diesel holds up better than a gasoline engine as far a wear, tear, neglect and abuse. Since I am looking at older tractors that have probably been through it all, is it better to buy diesel? I do expect to have to do a good bit of work on
