I've had this old 615i since 1994. Mfg. was around the early 1970's, one of the last A-C's all American made. It Runs the 160 Power Crater (4) cylinder gas A-C engine, and it is 'strong'.The electrical (all) is Delco-Remy, (thank you for that blessing A-C)... The (org.) Delco #1112609 distributor is beginning to show ware in the way of; engine wants to opporate a bit to hot, timing advance is unsteady and so on. I'm thinking, why not just change over to an 'electronic' distributor/ignition instead of going back with a mechanical.?. I've spent some time on the web looking, and find 'lots' of stuff for $race$ $cars$ and such but, no mention of gas engine tractors, (imagine that;). I'd appreciate any ideas about what-&-where on finding such change-out kits or whatever is best, please. *********************************************** While I'm on a roll here... page 2. A hired hand (about 4 years ago) threw my oem "grill" away in a cleaning frenzy. It's was the one made of (about) 3/16" steel plate and honeycombed with about 80, 3/4" round holes in it - if anyone might have one they could fairly part with. Also, in the mid 1990's I found a salvage outfit out of Virginia that specialized in all things tractor and heavy equipment. I ordered some parts from them by phone and they told me, "call any time, we got all sorts of A-C stuff". Now, of course I can't find their name or address any where.
