Howdy everyone! Sorry but I've been away for awhile, but now back. If the issue is no spark, I'd try the following: Disconnect and tape all leads seperately on that diode panel. Then see if you have spark. One of the leads will be the center tap of the ignition coil that connects to the...

Hi! It appears to be correct now as evidenced by the colors. Bill B.

Hi everyone! For those who are in the northeast, there is a tractor event at Zagray farms in Colchester, CT on Saturday, Oct 2, 2010 8a - 3p. There will be a tractor parade at 1pm and all machines, large & small welcome. I plan on riding and hopefully showing at that event. There is also a...

I rode my Cadet 60 in the Chester (Connecticut) annual Winter Tractor Parade on Sunday, Feb 21. I've attended several such parades in other parts of the State, but I felt like a rock star as I passed literaly over 1,000 cheering spectators crowded into the small center of Chester, lined up on...

Wow! Nice find! Can't wait to see the photos! Bill B.

Larin, I got home and looked up the 55 manual I had. I forgot it is the one and only in my limited collection that is factory sealed (un-opened)and don't want to at this time. Suggest that you may want to obtain the operator's manual from one of this site's sponsors, such as Binder Books...

I have a Model 55 manual. Too much for hi-res color scan, but I'll scan in B&W and place on this link. Bill B.

Happy New Year! I have just obtained a rare brochure of the Cadet 60 (coded AD-3695-W3 7-14 on back page) which features a blonde model sitting on the mower. Attached is a copy of the page (6 page brochure) which features the attachments. It depicts the storage stand in it as well. I...

Looking for this decal. I have the Maple Hunter decal kit for the Cadet 60 but this particular Electric Start decal was not included. .

Thanks Myron! Interesting! I totally missed that on Page 32. I didn't think that was the stand, but your explaination makes sense. I agree, I wouldn't have done that to save space either! And I'm an engineer! Bill B.

I came across some information that IH offered a "Storage Stand" for the Cadet 60 (listed for $9.00 back in 1968). Anyone have any idea what that was and did they actually sell any? Bill B.

OK, for some this may be hard to take ... when someone take a perfectly good IH accessory and ruins it, even if it is temporary and non-destructive. But here in New England, one must do what one must and the good 'ole #3 cart was just a tad too small for leaf collection and haul from yard to...

I have a question for the forum. On the Cadet 60 transmission, there is a Patent Number D208,203 stamped on top of the housing. When I look that up, it comes back as a design patent on a lamp fixture. Can anyone shed any light on this or knows who would have some knowledge on this? Thanks...

Hi Everyone! New aquisition. IH #3 Trailer. I drove out from Clinton, CT to Clinton, OH to buy it. (Thanks Mike!) Will proudly pull it in the Winter Parade in Chester, CT in February, 2010. Bill B.

Looking for IH #3 Trailer (the smallest one). Looks like this:
