| I have an old d15, I believe it’s a 1962. The positive battery post touched and grounded the engine out…burnt the ground post off. I replaced battery end but now tractor won’t stay running. Runs for 1-2 minutes then shuts off. Any suggestions???? |

well with a shorted out battery cable, its probably not a fuel problem.. Electrical area... Coil , capacitor, starter key/ switch, wires...... When it dies, see if you have 12v at the COIL... if you do, then the battery / switch / key / wires are probably working right... 12v power to the coil , then check the FIRE at a spark plug.. If no SPARK, then you have a coil or capacitor or burn point problem... If you have NO POWER to the coil, then look at the key switch and the wire from the key to the coil. --------One test is to take a jumper wire from the battery to the + terminal on the coil and then start the tractor.. That bypasses the key and wire harness to guarantee you have POWER to the coil.

| A model D-15 gas with a generator is a POSITIVE ground. So, how can the ground short out ?? Or, do you have an alternator conversion and now it is a NEGATIVE ground ?? |

| Yes it runs on gas. I have an alternator with a separate Solenoid. The solenoid positive end touched the frame and the negative end melted from the battery. Yeah, yeah |

once you get it going, you might find out the alternator has a problem... Solid state parts inside do NOT like shorts or sparks..... hope for the best. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

Can’t get it to run correctly. I don’t know if coil, points, or carburetor is needed. I have no idea.
