picked up a charger 12

There was an axle repair thread a while back, seems like a filler of some sort was utilized.  Jb weld?  Epoxy?  I don’t recall, but it seemed fairly easy.

If you put new hubs on and keep the existing axles I would use JB Weld to seat the keys in the old axles to fill up the gaps. This isn’t a perfect fix, but probable the best you can do with the old axles. Also drill and tap the new hubs for a second lock bolt to keep them tight.

      Hi I recently got an old charger 12 that had been sitting in a friends backyard for at least 20 years. The engine spins over and the starter works but it has no spark, I’ve been looking online for some solutions but I can’t seem to find any other charger 12s with my ignition setup. It seems to have a sort CDI box but I’m not sure. Does anybody know how this works or any tips on how to test for where the problem is ?

      Hello gentleman, 
       
      Problem: will not crank on its own, will crank with jump box—but still not fire
       
      Recent things I did prior to this issue: cleaned fuel filter, replaced battery cables, replaced cable from ignition to starter
       
      I have my test light out and am probing around. 
       
      There is no power at ignition/magneto wire or the ignition/starter wire
       
      There is power everywhere else

      It acts like the lever has limited travel and doesn't go far enough to go into reverse.  Something binding?  Bent?
      The tractor showed signs that it had a rollover sometime in its life. Right front axle was welded along with some of the steering parts. 
      I have a 68 charger (for parts) and swapped out the repaired parts with it.
      Possibily bent something there or the friction assy?????

      Restoring a Charger 12 with a breakerless ignition to breaker ignition.  My theory is .....its only a matter of time before it goes bad so change it now while everything is apart.
      The question:  There are three wires coming from the stator.  Two go to the rectifier and one goes to the breakerless coil.
      What would be the proper way do do away with the third wire?  Just cut it off? or ???  The book doesn't mention conversions.
      Thanks
      Bob
