JD 2010 distributor parts

drvtrain · Apr 23, 2020

Need help finding parts for Wico distributor. This is on a 1962 2010. I have all the parts except for the two springs on the advance weights. Numbers 25 on the diagram. JD part number is AT14792. These are obsolete parts according to John Deere. Any help would be appreciated.

Original/correct advance springs for old tractor distributors are nearly impossible to find anymore.

The alternative is to go to an on-line hod-rod supplier such as Summit Racing, Jegs, etc., and buy a generic distributor advance kit" or "distributor re-curve kit" containing an assortment of advance springs, use the ones most like the original in strength and length, then verify the advance is operating correctly using a timing light, swapping springs if it advance too early or too late.

Ideally, one would use a "distributor machine" and have an OEM advance curve spec. sheet at hand, but you are dealing with a relatively low RPM low compression engine and in this case "close" is probably good enough, and certainly better than before you worked on the distributor.

Also, there's lots of videos out there from guys "re-curving" distributors and probably some helpful tips, as well.

You asked for any help, so here goes... LOL

I don't know what your original spring lengths or wire size was, but there are a lot of theses out there to choose from, this is just an example.

If this is not going to work try McMaster Carr under "extension springs".

You might get lucky.

Thanks for your reply. If I knew what length, wire diameter, I could probably get close or modify a stock spring to make it work. Does anyone know how long these springs are supposed to be or wire diameter?

Cannot say for sure if distributor parts are same or not but the HC145G engine in the roundback 45 combine is same engine as in the 2010 tractor and the HC165G engine for the early square back 45 combine is same engine with the larger deck plate and pistons. Might find the springs that way.

You can find the distributor advance kits at your local Advance or similar parts house. Which one to use is a guess.

I hate to say this, but bite the bullet and be a rebuilt Delco and be done with it. Sorry I know that is not what you want to hear.

Thanks everyone for all your help. I may have to buy a rebuilt unit to get it to run right. I guess I'm a little too budget minded. All I need are two little springs! UGH!!
