Some question

   LOL I almost took the front end off  for scrap at first. I had never heard of a wc with a wide front and when I frist looked it up online it said the wc only came from the factory with a narrow front. Then I did a little more research and found they didn't come from the factory with a wide front but a wide front was offfered as a dealer installed option. I don't know if thats true or not but  I'm hoping someone on this forum will point me in the right direction to find some info on it.

	Ok, so I picked a a 39 AC WC with wide front and a loader for a cup of coffee (literally). Anyways it supposedly ran years ago but didn't at the time. Now I am not looking to dump a ton of money into this as I have too many other projects going on right now. I just want to get it running good so I can move it around. The good. Tractor is 95% complete Sheet metal and gas tank are near perfect. The wide front IS a factory one not a jury rigged one off another tractor. The bad The loader is from a old ford. The cap and rotor button need replaced and are EXPENSIVE. 83.70 for the cap and 18.90 for the rotor. Water pump is shot. All 4 tires are wasted I had it running after I rebuilt the carb then the water pump went. It still needs a lot of little things like hoses, wiring, belt, etc My questions are: How rare are these tractors with wide front ends? Can you rebuild the water pumps or do you have to buy a new one? And how do you properly install the mag cap, I pulled the big cap off to clean the breaker contacts and am unsure if I re-installed the cap correctly. I know that on the rotor shaft gear its mark "C" for clockwise rotation and "A" for counter clockwise rotation. The mag rotates clockwise so I tried to line up the C with the beveled tooth on the pinion gear but am not sure if I lined it up right. The engine sounds like it may be out of time. I don't know too much about these old mags so any advice is apprectiated.
