Harvey 2 02-09-2013 14:04:55 74.128.149.135 Report to Moderator	Back in the day I was collecting John Deere tractors I bought a Case CC: It was the best starting tractor I had, I could bring it up to compresson and a quarter turn of the crank it wood always start. The clutch was the smoothest operating one that I ever drove. Rugged old tractor. [Reply]   [No Email]

I bounced on the crank to get it to turn, after 6 clicks of the mag it started with the crank! [Reply]  [No Email]

Came back after a short lunch, pushed down on the starter and Pop---Pop----Pop------Pop. Those milkers had chewed up three of the four plug wires off the mag, I mean insulation was GONE,but the engine still started and barely ran on 1 cylinder. [Reply]  [No Email]
