ok....all of you guys are great....now for the rest of the story!!! i went to machine and took the distributor clean off....and guess what..,. this is the number 4 type of distributor!!!...it is an ELECTRIC AUTOLITE CO. DISTRIBUTOR.....presumably it is forerunner of prestolite..since they bought out...

jdjoe, mite i ask on your jd2010 gas....what for distributor do you have...i am hving problem finding out whether mine is a prestolite...nameplate either not visible or gone...looking at top of shaft where rotor goes...mine has a simple slant on it...it does not have like a keyway in the slant..i th...

ladies and gents, ok..whats the story on these distributors....manual shows to be 3 different distr for these units....delco, prestolite and wico.... from the pics in manual and instructions....it seems that they all mite be switched out to whichever one is available....manual plainly shows that bot...

tiger, have his book on it now..shows that they have 3 different kinds and that the coil needs to match the distributor...however, they have now got an alternator on it with an unmarked coil...brands are...delco, prestolite and wico distributors....i need the rotor so guess wlll have to buy 3 and se...

went back again to look at sprockets and get a number off of them... right side sprocket has a number of either t13254t or 18254t...left side seems to only have a large number showing 316....pads have 4 bolts on the tracks....these sprockets actually appear to be very good shape the concave portions...

Lavoy and others, what is story on this...seen other bb's discussing ex. jd60 made into crawler with 2010 uc....if so can reverse be viable..since uc's are culprit in scrapping sure hate to see alll this scrapping going on..... i know wouild be slow for tired type units...but least not scrapped to C...

are parts hard to find for these units....i know uc are worst for wearing out and are they generally interchangeable or unique to each. this one did look worn a bit but was usable life in it...running and was loadable.
