Updating '47 Cub
Posted: Tue Mar 12, 2013 8:45 am
I am about to begin restoring a '47 Cub. It's all original right now, but I'd like to improve on some things while I'm tinkering.
I believe all the internals are OK. And right now I'm just working on the engine. My main two points of focus are the fuel system and the electrical system. I want to be able to use this tractor for some chores, so I want it to crank easy and run smooth.
What are the recommendations as far as going to a 12V system? Can I help the ignition system any? The tractor is going to have to be completely rewired no matter what system I go with.
What about the carburator, anything to help it? I'm planning on putting a cutoff valve below the sediment bowl.
Just looking for any advice on where I should be aiming to go before I get started.
