New poster here with a couple questions on my old tractor. It's a 1962 B414 Gas w/BD154 engine. We used it prior to a recent move to mow and bale a little hay and key the riding arena in shape. I now live in a much snowier area and have put about 30+ hours on this month just keeping the driveway open.

A couple of questions for you guys:
1) In moderate temps (20-32F) I notice that the bottom of the carb gets frosty or totally covered in ice sometimes. I have also notice the inside of the carb ices at times. Is this normal? Is there anything that can be done to prevent it?

2) I finally located a new distributor cap and rotor. I would also like to change the plug wires, but they seem to be basically non-existent at this time. The cap has screw-on terminals, not slip on. Can I just buy a set of generic wires, cut the boots off and make my own screw-on ends with screw caps that come with the distributor cap?

Any help and ideas are appreciated. Thanks

The carb icing is common. There are several prior posts ob making intake heaters to keep this from being a problem. use the search for box, and put in carb iceing. JimN

On the plug wires, make sure they are a copper cored wire and you should be good to go, do not put an 8mm car wires on them.

Hi, just wondering since I almost bought some, but what is wrong with 8mm car spark plug wires?
