Abandoned John Deere 55 parts machine. Will it run after 10 ish years?

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

I got this ol girl about 9 years ago to use as a parts/doner machine for my “good” 55. Was told when I bought it the motor was good. I’ve never needed to start it and about 5 years ago I dragged it to the farm cemetery as I didn’t need it anymore. Still want to start it because, why not?

    Flashback when you were dicking around with the points..... lol. I worked on my Ford 860, in the field, for over a week, until I finally replaced the "new" condenser. Yep, it was bad... Got it running, drove it to the barn... and upgraded to Electronic Ignition. Best trade-up ever. I get it: farming with antiques. Thanks for sharing!

    I’ve had brand new points and condensers be bad right out of the box before too. That’s frustrating. 😒. The protronix HEI kits are pretty hard to beat!

    This series of JD combines couldn't be beat for simplicity and reliability. You can still get a lot of parts for them. I've spent many hours on 95s over the years. The old engine has the familiar sound like a 95.

    I remember those old JD combine also my dad & uncle farm had 1968 105C McCormick International combine had Farmall H Basic 4 cylinder 202 Cubic Cm motor and carb was on front face of the motor had hand choke to and was challenged to get going to motor start up! Turn key on get electronic pump click away till only hear one click every 3 mins and next what had do next pull choke all way out and low speed then roll over 4 time push choke in 1/2 in get fire up & then when fire push choke 1/4 out for 5 minutes then push choke in all way let warm for 25 minutes to more! But we used 89 octane gas not farm gas add bottle fuel injection cleaner in plus last 2 gallon of gas left tank full put some desiel fuel to mix with gas fuel plus injection cleaner to! Cleaner out carb plus motor also help start up faster too on cold storage times or season each day plus hot starts to ! Yes smoked bit but help and keep engine running perfectly too also engine oil too ! Fuel tank was only 60 gallon steal tank too & 10w30 no synthetic engine oil plus fram or John Deere oil pan filter cartilage type ! It one in round pot like old farm tractor plus trucks or cars or vans used in in 4 or 6 cylinders from 1940 to 1972 years!
