Thanks Cecil

That'll be my next try; just had to replace one on my ditch witch so I can
start the dw (to be sure it's still good) then move the condenser to the
tractor.

I had a forklift doing the same thing, bought it at a sale, got it home and 
it would not start to get off the truck.  It was also raining at the time.. 
I worked with it i the rain for about 3 hours, run about 30 seconds with the

choke, take off choke and it would not run.  Finally left the choke on to 
unload it and found it still only ran about 30 seconds.  Robbed a condensor 
out of another distributor and it ran fine.  It sat inside about 2 months 
before I started it again and went thru the same thing..  This time changed 
the condensor and it ran fine.  A rich mixture will ignite much easier than 
a lean one..
