hmmm... No spark.
Spark plug bad, points bad, coil bad, (other) start replacing in that order.
Good luck with it. Nice find. :fing32:

Nice score.

I wouldn't start replacing anything just yet, I'd start testing the system.

no sense replacing good parts.

I ditto the seat. Who would do such a dastardly thing like putting a John Deere seat to a Case. Embarrassing to say the least.

 

[Mjoe7]

Oh :fing20: I forgot. Replace the seat first before something else goes bad. :biglaugh:

Yellow & Green on a CASE a BIG no no!!!.... :Stop::thSick: :fing20:

Might be somehting as simple as a bad condenser, I had that happen on mine, fired right back up with a $3 part.

Good score, ugly seat.

 

[anixon]

i will let you all know this weekend , when i pick it up.

It smells of John Deere to me.

The last two engines I fixed(1 Kohler, 1 Wisc.) had corroded coil terminals. Check all connections.

The seat may well be the only thing that kept er limping along this last decade. Or two.

theres a fuse right by the starter solenoid it burnt out and mine lost spark go ahead and replace the old round fuse with a blade fuse and see if that helps

The seat is like a piece of aluminum on a steel tractor... And we all know what that does. It's all the seat's fault.

:fing32: Glad you ended up getting it. A lot of things could have happened in the meantime to cause it to not be there when you went back to pick it up. Glad it found a responsible owner.

Glad it`s running now, maybe a bad ground, old cables don`t carry the juice if they are all green under the insulation. Even if the PTO was engaged, these must have a safety switch, that was my first guess.

 

[Mjoe7]

Glad you got it, and got it running. Very cool! :thThumbsU
