Just wanted to say hello to the list. Name is Cal and I am located in
northeast Texas. I have a 110 acre farm that I raise cattle on as a hobby.
The farm was purchased by my grandfather in 1931. In 1955 he purchased a
John Deere 40 brand new. It has been on this farm ever since. It has been
sitting unused for the last 4 years - prior to that it ran fine. It had an
engine rebuild about 10 years ago. It was used mainly for hay moving and
light pasture mowing.
I am now ready to restore the tractor. I first need to get it running
again. It turns over fine but doesn't fire. I am sure I need to clean the
carburetor at the very least and it probably needs to be rebuilt.
Does anyone know of a good JD man in northeast Texas who might rebuild a
TSX-530 carb - and then handle future jobs that are too big for me as I work
through this restoration?
Thanks for any an all advice. I look forward to learning a lot from y'all.
