Did the tractor EVER hold a charge? I had the same problem with my Super M and messed with it for far too long. Took it to my local mechanic and he put a new alternator on it and now it charges and runs perfectly. Like you, I always try to fix things myself, but when I'm over my head, I don't hesitate to go to someone who knows what he's doing and in the long run (after taking far too much time to remedy a problem myself) it pays off. A case in point right now is that I'm restoring a 1951 M that I just bought and like most Farmalls, both seals, front and back of the engine are leaking. I definitely won't even try to do this myself and trying to break it in two and screw the goose trying to stabilize everything and am taking it to our local IH dealer.

It's money saving in the long run, because when I have dinked around with something and taken both too much time and spent too much money (according to my resident financial officer) I take it where they know what the hen they're doing. Good luck.

That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
