Got "Old John" back from the mechanic last w/e. Turns out we were right the first time. It was the carb.
We had it rebuilt, but when the rebuilt carb was put on, he still didn"t run worth a flip.
Next, we had the magneto rebuilt. When that was installed, there was something wrong with it and it wasn"t producing spark. We pulled one off one of the other tractors and Mr. Nixon put it on. Old John still wasn"t running very well.
Mr. Nixon went back to the carb and "tweaked" it some. Now "Old John" runs just fine.
We had the carb rebuilt by K&K, who have a good reputation. My guess is that something got jiggled around when they shipped the rebuilt carb back to us.
Its good to have "Old John" back where he belongs. He"s got his own spot in the hay barn now. Its real nice to see Daddy"s tractor parked on the place ready and waiting to be used again.
P.S - we also purchased 2 more good, used magnetos to add to our spare parts collection.
