Okay, so I bought this old 107 tractor not running but was told it ran back last spring. Maybe, maybe not. Anyway, started doing some trouble shooting. First, battery was dead took to Advance Auto yesterday confirmed it was bad, Purchased new, installed this morning, changed oil, checked wiring that could be seen of course it's old and brittle but seems in tack.
Depressed clutch and set lock. Turn key switch and nothing, zero response. Well to start eliminating different areas, I looked up which post to hook to on the starter before putting power to engine. Applied power to starter, starter turns over the tractor fine, not super fast but from listening to different starting videos on the net over the last few weeks it sounds the same. So, I assume starter is functional. Well, of course it did not just start up like I hoped. Continuing further, I pulled the plug to check spark, turn engine over and no spark on the plug. So the easy stuff is over and I am into where some experience is needed, If I had the wiring digram or a better understanding of the starting circuit maybe I could eliminate more. Ignition circuit could be keeping the spark off but I don't really know. Share your knowledge, thanks, Micah
