1927 McCormick-Deering 10-20 tractor running

1927 McCormick-Deering 10-20 tractor running


Short video of a 1927 McCormick-Deering 10-20 tractor running. This tractor had been sitting for over 50 years. It is completely restored. The pistons and clutch were rusted in place. The motor has new pistons, sleeves, valves and the crank turned. It has new tires, new wheels, new fenders and a fantastic new paint job. We timed it but couldn't get it to run from cranking it. We pulled it and it fired and ran on about the 1st rotation of the wheel. After a few more changes, we were starting it on one crank. After another round of tuning, I wasn't able to find the proper settings to crank start it.
