However, when I push the button it moves about a quarter of an inch and then stops hard. I'm not even sure the thing is working. I plan to pull the glow plug and see if that is glowing/heating as it should this afternoon. At the same time I'll check the pump & see if it works. If it dosn't, does someone have a source for either a replacement or a rebuild kit? -or- is there a work-around for the problem? This old tractor was owned by a guy who ALWAYS started it with ether and I hope that it still has good rings in it. I does run well when it starts but it is VERY hard to start. Runs the battery down almost every time and I have to put the charger on the start cycle to get it going. Advise? [Reply]   [No Email]
