H JD
I have a Model H JD, serial# H61020 that was setting for years. The engine was seized but after soaking with transmission fluid and PB blaster it turns freely now. I am not getting any spark to the plugs. I am trying to figure out the fuel system also as I am sure the carbeurator is not working either. Any information on getting this tractor running would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I'd first work on getting a spark. Track back through the system, to find out where the problem might be.
Is this hand crank? or electric start?

If no spark, I'd suspect bad plug wires or bad/dirty magneto.

Here is a link that may be helpful to you as well.

Ok, now to get spark. No need to do any carb work (other than know that fuel is reaching the carb) until you get spark.
