I added a reply to my other thread, but because of the design of this BB it kinda gets lost, so I would try posting a new thread-
The tractor started immediatly, ran decent with some gray smoke for about 20 min, until it died. Let it cool for 45 min, came back started alright, barely ran with no smoke, just long enough to get it into the shed. Last time I was out there the tractor did the same thing, only it quit sooner, and it was hotter than it was this time. There is plenty of water and oil, new sparkplugs. One thing worth mentioning is that it has been converted to battery ignition, the coil is a automotive generic 6/12v. I'm thinking that the problem is ignition related, considering that the coil is quite hot by the time the tractor quits. Could it be a head gasket, and the white smoke is from water in cylinder? Any suggestions are more than welcome cause I'm goin back down tomorrow to see if I can finish getting the garden plowed, allowing half a day to get the tractor in good enough running shape. Thanks again, hopefully someday I will be able to contribute and return the favors ya'll are doing me now.
BTW-It already has a somewhat modern 3pt hitch, so I'm on a not too hurried search for a bush hog that will fit it.

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
