As near as I will be to old iron with the temperature flirting with
zero degrees outside are the pictures and video clips in my files,
John.  For those signed up on the Forum:

I did start the Farmall 560 and run it around a little as well as the
340.  That was last Tuesday when we had a heat wave in the forties
momentarily.

Case used a heavy felt seal to keep the impulse clean. While this might be a good idea on a working tractor, tractors that get abandoned outside for 40 years are a different matter. This thing managed to keep so much moisture in the impulse housing that one of the pawls locked up and the seal itself is severely deteriorated. I never could get the back half of the impulse off (you need a special puller) but I was able to free up the pawl. Now I've got to attempt to straighten up the threads on the shaft so I can get the nut back on. Replaced the primary wire and cleaned up several corroded connections and decided to give it a test. Without the cap on it I'm getting over 5/16 spark on impulse. As soon as the owner brings me the cap I'll give it a few minutes on the mag tester and make sure everything e!
