Re: 1946 B.F. Avery Model A Tractor Restoration

A lot of assembly on Saturday...basically all day. Got to the end and filled her up with fluids, hit the button and nothing. Eric very quickly diagnosed it as a ground problem. A price paid for paint on every surface. We called it a night, Eric added a ground strap on Monday we fired her off last night. It was all that 6V battery wanted...we didn't get too many turns out of it before it went soft. We didn't test it when we got it and I wonder if it had gone weak on the shelf. Though candidly this motor is probably tighter than factory. The best part of the whole thing was, after a few turns with no result, my daughter asked to give it a try. It fired right off when she hit the button. There was no doubt who this horse belongs to.
