You guys are great, thank you for the warm hospitality. Tractor has been garage kept, just hasn't been ran in some time now, and just sitting there. I want to get this guy going strong like my grand father had it going. Tractor does crank and seems like it has good compression, cleaned the carb as well, but It wasn't igniting the fuel, Removed the spark plug, and the internal point of the plug did have unburnt fuel on it. I know I could have trouble shoot, to see exactly what part wasn't giving it spark, but I went ahead and picked up a new ignition wire, New coil, and ordered a new voltage regulator as well. The tractor needed it, the parts looked a little rough. So we will see where that gets me. As for the side panels, i'll have to look at my grandfather's garage and see if he has them in there. The tractor sitting in his garage at this time, I'd like to get it home to my house where I have tools to work on it at. But I just want to see if I can get this thing fired up first.

I've been doing some research and I've seen that this tractor takes a champion H 10 spark plugs, is that right? I've heard autolight is the way to go instead of champion? If it is what type of auto light spark plug would it take? And at what gap should it be set at? Again I appreciate all the help and input. I'm only 29 years old, and just starting with my first riding mower. A little background on myself, I have been doing commercial HVAC service for 8 years. Like to work on my jeep and tinker around. So my new project is the mower
