49 Massey harris Pony update

SMCin · Aug 23, 2008

To start out I know that this is the farmall board but you guys always help the best. I posted on this some time ago but I thought I would update on the pony. I got this Pony and it would not run. Original owner could not get it run after rebuild. I checked all the bearings and retimed the engine and still no luck. I put on a different coil and found that the old one was wired backward but still would not run. Well today I got a new battery and tried it again and it started and ran. It looks like it will run pretty good I starts right up now. So I have to put it all back together. I will have to get 2 new tires for the front so it will move. Can anyone tell me what type of oil is used it the hyd. systems Thanks in advance. Steve

With battery ignition you need a fully charged battery. With a magneto you don't even need a battery other than to crank the engine. It will makes its own hot spark. Glad you have it running. Hal
