That's why I say "only one tractor will never keep one man busy." I agree, there is always something going wrong. My hands are full right now. I've had the Ollie 60 running good all summer, now shut off switch is bad. It only runs with a jumper wire from battery to coil. I'm going to eliminate most ignition problems on the 60. We have a mag for it and just had it redone, so I'm going to throw that in. The MD's lift pump isn't quite up to snuff, fuel pressure isn't quite what it should be. The 77 is giving me fits, just when I think I've fixed it, it acts up. The JD A needs the mag done on it, won't start by hand, but fires up immediately when just pulled about 5 feet. Impulse in the mag is what I think. The only one that doesn't need work is the JD 1050, and that's not even a Deere, it's a Yanmar. It's all fun though, I wouldn't have it any other way.
"Right away the 130 cranks like hell, gas is coming, spark is intermitent. Drove down to a neighbors, told him I wanted him to tell me whether I was stupid or just missing something. Back we both come and 130 fired right up. Must have been the neighbor's presence. Not really, it still flutters a bit, doesn't always fire up quick, I've decided it's distributor cap."
That's the way the 77 is, It's fine when the old man is around, but as soon as he leaves it dies.
"By the way, I like to know how the MD and 77 compare on a hard road pull. Be FAIR, hahaha." That reminds me of when me and my brother, or me and my dad used to "Hook up" out on the hardpack. Two tractors back to back tied together with a chain. We didn't have the MD then, and the JD A usually stole the show. Boy did we have some holes dug. Sure was alot of fun though. I'm really suprised we never broke anything.
