WILL IT RUN?! Abandoned 1964 Farmall Cub

[@austenj4539]

I love the competence shown the fix it back to working and the confidence to reverse it off a trailer without moving the expensive looking truck parked outside the garage first! What a great tip about priming the oil pump through that small hole in the filter housing as a possible way to get oil pressure back after sitting a long while.

Pretty encouraging! I might have to get a few items to swap out on the 560 in the field here!

All it takes is alittle determination! There are plenty people selling used and new parts for these old Farmall/IH tractors. Heck there’s a bunch of stuff for almost all tractors out there still

So to tell timing.. take the distributer cap off....and make sure the rotor button when its pointing to number 1 plug...is lined up with the notch in the distributor housing?? So they all make a straigjt line???... im working on a cub also...

[@ErichsGarage]

Correct. It’s something I picked up working on these. Cylinder one has to be at top dead center. Depending on what you are working on if it’s a cub, take the number one spark plug out I usually stick my finger over the spark plug hole and bump the starter over till I feel compression. Then I’ll use flash light and use the cooling fan to pull the piston up to top dead center. Some thing goes for the super A’s, 100’s, 140’s etc. When you have the engine at top dead center you can adjust the distributor to how I mentioned. Number one plug on the distributor cap is normally marked with a 1 but if it’s not. Just know that it’s opposite the notch on the distributor .

Make it run an live along 😊

[@leewebb7]

Why did you swap the distributor?? Did you swap caps or the whole thing??

[@ErichsGarage]

I usually keep a good distributor on hand for testing.
