[Farmall] a few question

[E. John Puckett]

Craig, I don't know about the heat houser, but you may be able to get the covers 
from Tractor Supply, but more than likely they've discontinued canvas 
replacements for the M

Regarding the B, no that's not normal.  More than likely it needs a cap and 
rotor, or if it's a mag it may need a new coil and cover.  Plug wires could also 
be the culprit.

They even built a little "rain shield" over the distributor etc...cut the sheetmetal and attached another sheet angled outward...grrrrr. They said that if it even sat outside for a bit when there might be dew on the ground it won't start until it drys out. Is this something peculiar to B's? What could it be other than a cracked distributor cap? He's not a mechanic, but I know he's tried that route.
