Ok, here is the problem. I just purchased a 1952 Cub and have know idea what I am doing. I purchased the Service Manual and Operators Manual and started doing the regular maintenance. The battery would not start the tractor after the first time each day. So I installed a new 6v battery. However the problem continued. So I read the old postings and change the old battery cables I used 2 gauge cable. Then I changed all the plug cables, coil, distrubutor cap, rotor, points, plugs and contensor. Closed up everything. You guessed it,dead. The starter makes a noise but that is it. So what did I do? I have some questions. Which plug cable going on the #1 cap hole, is it the 1 plug I had trouble seeing it in the book? Did I put the wires in the wrong spot? The coil has a positive and negitive pole I put the wire from the side of the distributor to the positive pole assuming it was the ground wire was this correct? When setting the gap on the points I put the rotor in the #1 position I was not sure but is that the highest point? The point were the gap is the largest? Did I not put the plug wires into the distributor all the way? I could not check all these things becuase the battery went dead. Please help me get this great tractor running again.

You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
