After tinkering all summer, the JD60 I bought over Memorial Day weekend is finally running and moving itself around.
As some may recall, I asked this forum about the magneto and spark. I'm not an expert now, but, they don't scare me anymore!! (I have two 70's in line).
If there was an issue, this little guy had it. Lots of things mechanically still to work out, but I ran it around the property for 1/2 an hour yesterday happy as can be ---after I reversed the twist in the drive belt that is...when I got it going, it had three reverse speeds and one forward speed...what a surprise!
Here are some pictures...
If anyone is interested I will post more in the future as things progress w/ this machine.
