OT Champion Spark plugs

[ccharr]

By Chance does anyone have or know where I can get 4 new/old W 28 Champion Spark pluge for my 1936 Massey Harris Challenger Tractor? These are larger spark plugs taking a 15/16 socket or wrench.

Also I would like to have a Good Kingston Carburetor for it? Right now it is running but has issues and if I want to sell it I need it to be running Good.

Vintage Spark Plugs

Aren't these the same as the brand'F' A Model spark plugs ? Champion still makes those , any partshaus can order 'em up for you , $25 each last time I bought some 25 years ago , prolly not much more now .

Or , close up the magneto's points gap to .012" and re timie it , the close gap increases coil saturation and so makes for much hotter spars in 6 volt ignition systems . you can carefully file the center electrode flat again too ....

Thanks Nate,

I had not known the model A had the same style or # for the spark plugs , after doing some google work I seen where they also had the Kingston carbs also but are really different looking and are labeled as 4 or 5 ball carbe. This tractor has been sick for some time, just finished cleaning the carb last week and finding that there is really no paperwork out there that shows how that carburetor is taken apart, which meant I had to take photos of the whole process, luckly it started up again. For those that have not seen this here is a shot of it.
Again Thanks Nate.

Nate,
That tractor is a great work horse, but I need to get it ready to sell so someone that has a ahelter for can keep it out of the elements. The Az. sun was just to much for it.
For now I'm going to clean it up and get it running as good as possible.

Running Well

O.K. then ;

Magneto ? .

Remember : the magneto's magnets need to be timed , then you adjust the ignition timing , a separate thing .

File those old points with a whetstone then clean 'em off with a squirt of Starting Fluid .

I bet you have the adjust the valves by manually filing the stems a bit
