the other day i dug an ancient david bradley two wheel tractor out of my barn where its been sitting for 30+ years. i fiddled with it for a couple hours and finnally got it running. it has a 5.6 hp engine and was running amazingly well for sitting as long as it did. one tire still holds air. the other is shot. i was zipping around, even with the flat tire. if requested ill upload pics.

I had one of those that was pretty beat and had a pulley arm broken off I think. I saved the engine and plow but scrapped the rest.
I think this is probably the same engine as the one you have. Wisconsin ACN 6hp. Seems like these old wisconsins are always hard to start. (Maybe just the couple I've had though) The fact that you have to rope start them doesn't help. Gets real old winding the rope around every time.
