It sounds like there are a lot of things just a little bit wrong (It started hard but did start before the trip tells me that) Getting an engine running and running right is just troubleshooting. one thing at a time until it runs. 4 requirements Fuel Compression Timing spark The good news is each one can be checked separately. It ran not long ago so it has fuel (but as others have said, it could be dirty or have a dirty filter. The 5 min run points to a dirty filter) I would use fresh gas and a new filter before going any further. Compression, It ran so it has it. might be low, That makes it hard to start but once you get it running you can check that. Timing you can put the tractor in high or use the crank to turn it over and watch the points open, look at the timing mark and see what the timing is. This will get you close, then once it is running you can tweek it. Spark. Others have told you how to check for it. Problems are wiring and cleanliness. The dist cap, inside of the dis, and the coil and wires need to be clean and dry. The low voltage side sounds suspect. I would disconnect all the wiring and hot wire it. Battery to ground good heavy clean connection Battery to starter same Battery to coil (disconnect the tractor wiring to the coil and replace it with a temporary one of your own. now you know you have volts to the coil. no wiring, no switches, no charger, nothing else to worry about until it is running right. (Remove this wire to stop engine) There should be a wire (low voltage, not spark plug) from the coil to the distributor. Leave that wire, or if it is messed up, replace it also there should be a condenser connected to the points. is that there? is it clean? As some one else said, you need a charger, A 10 amp will do. but you have to have one to trouble shoot and to bring the battery back up after the tractor has been sitting a long time. Frank

Chores - by Frank Young. The ceaseless passing of time! It is at once our friend and our enemy. It measures our progress and it makes us old. Like most features of our life, few things are all good or all bad, and most such judgments depend on our own perspective or viewpoint. In our particular hobby, we enjoy the nostalgic return to the days of our youth as we recreate many of the scenes that took place on the family farm that served as the stage for the first few acts of the play that is our live
