Nice! We had a similar problem with our '52 Farmall at camp this year, it wouldn't fire at all until we wiggled some wires, then it would run but only at low rpm. We rewired the whole tractor (10 whole wires! :) ) and it runs great. We'd been having off and on problems with it bogging and running poorly, should have done this years ago.

A family member of his new wife has a 97 GMC pickup with a diesel. It has been causing trouble and the owner has had work done on it in a couple of shops without much success. He asked my son to have a look at it. My son said it was throwing a number of codes which he thought was unusual. He started it up and let it idle and warm up and then started shaking electrical harness under the hood. When he wiggled one, the engine faltered. He shook it a bit harder and the engine shut down. I cannot recall what he said that harness controlled but something in the fuel injection I think. It was on the top of the engine on top of the intake manifold. He took the connector apart and found some pins that looked a bit wonky. Straightened them up a bit and cleaned it a bit and put it back together. It appears to be fixed. He drove t all over on Sunday and took it to and from work yesterday and says so far it has not missed a beat. An inexpensive fix if that cured it.
