Here is an update ....

I got the needed ignition and carb parts from Charlie (thanks Charlie!). Rebuilt the carb, installed new coil, points and condensor which is a tricky system to make spark. I tried to turn over and get spark and nothing :thumbs2: Spoke with Charlie and really cleaned the points and installed new spark plug wire. Finally spark !!! Add fuel and air to the spark and ............

Another video of the engine running. The carb will need to be tuned in but I hope to have the tractor ready for the Kent, CT show in one week. I think I will have to get one of the guys who are good with Clinton carb tuning to help me at the show. Not sure who that Vin, oh I mean person is ?? :thumbs2:

Very cool, nice to know there are still un-molested barn-finds still out there.

Being in CT myself, I almost wish I saw that. Nice find and congrats on the new Horse!

Okay here she is.. just need to do some minor carb adjustments and she should be done. Ran her around the neighborhood and the yard for a while today. This one is tight and rear hubs work great. I plan on taking this to the Kent show next Friday so long as the weather holds out for us...

For some reason photobucket only works if I have one video per post so more to come on next post.
