Tractor experiences intermittent starting behavior ranging from no start to clicking sounds. An internally resisted ignition wire caught fire during a 200A jump-start attempt. After the wire burned, the tractor started twice when the break was bridged with alligator clips. Suspected causes include bad battery, corroded distributor cap and spark plugs, and faulty condenser.

howdy - first time tractor owner, learning parts of the tractor puzzle as I get confronted with something not working. My tractor is gasoline John Deere 1020. Most recent problem was my battery was bulging and spitting acid on my nice tractor jeans. Instead of replacing the voltage regulator, I removed it and the original alternator. I replaced alternator with internally regulated Delco following this [gentleman’s instructions](http://www.amfrancis.com/Home/personal/on-my-mind/30alternatorforajohndeere1020). My new issue is a “no start” one. The tractor will sometimes try to start, sometimes just click, sometimes just be silent, and most recently start a wire on fire. The wire which started on fire is an internally resisted ignition wire. I think it caught on fire because I was trying to jump the battery with 200A booster. After the wire burned up it started without the 200A boost (twice at least so far, I jumped the wire break with alligator clips. My thoughts on what the problem could be are: 1. bad battery after being over charged by failed voltage regulator. 2. Bad distributor cap and spark plugs - both have corrosion, I’ve cleaned them up a bit but still not shiny clean. 3. Bad everything under distributor cap (I think that’s called condensor?) Before throwing $$ at replacing everything above, I’d like to troubleshoot it correctly. Problem is I’m no pro with ignition or electrical. I have the service manual and it reads like greek to me. Can anyone provide links to helpful video or other step-by-step on “here is how ignition works and how to test when not working” or similar “getting to know your ignition system”. My searches so far haven’t come up with the greatest info - I haven’t gotten lucky on youtube either. thanks for the help [found a good picture(?)] (https://i.imgur.com/lzVhBs7.jpg) update: So after much searching and reading, a common step in troubleshooting anything electrical was to check the ground connection. So I did. Well my...

I have a John Deere 1020 diesel that has a small hydraulic leak at a connection. Has anyone used the Lucas stop leak on something like that? Or if that’s even a good idea?

Does anyone know if the lower radiator hose on a JD 1020 gas should have a wire/spring in it? I noticed mine is sucking shut when RPMs are above 1K. This likely is the cause of my overheating issue. I have a new one on order, but it did not indicate there was a wire in it.

Just started in on using my father’s tractor since he passed away. Good tractor man but not so good of a teacher. Was tilling a new garden and as I finished the engine RPM’s spiked and the RPM gauge went off the chart. Engine was accelerating like crazy so I shut her down. Let her rest an hour and turned over and the engine immediately throttled into overkill again. I just got her back from a JD service center for carburetor and fuel pump work. Any suggestions as to what went wrong? I figure trying to drive it is going to get me a burnt out engine and blown cylinders.
