Hi everyone,
I searched past posts and followed past advice but have still not had success with this problem.
My dad was drving his cub to the barn after cutting grass, and went to shift to 3rd gear and the tractor died out, and would not crank again. We checked, there was no spark at plugs, pulled the dist. points were pitted. We replaced points, replaced condenser, tested the coil(OK), tested voltage at + side of coil with key on(have 12v-OK, cleaned/checked connections, dist. shaft is turning, reassembled. Still no spark. Could there be something grounding in the distributor area? There is a little play in the shaft, if this is worn can it ground out something? Please help, thanks, david

It is possible that one of the wires inside the distributer is making contact with ground. Look it over very carefully. Also, new contact points sometimes have a film of oil on them. Fold a one dollar bill in half and drag it through the points to remove that film. Also, the brand new condensor might be defective, it wouldn"t be the fiirst one to be bad right out of the box. Install the old condensor and try again.

if you have a 12v test light or ohm meter, pull the wire off the coil that goes to the distributor points, hook you test lite to the hot wire going to the coil and touch the probe to the wire going to the distributor, then crank the engine over, when the points are open the lite should go out. when the close, it should come back on. if the lite is on all the time, there is something grounding the points out, wire touching inside the distributor, maybe the insulator where the wire gos thru the distributor body.

Connect a test light between the coil's primary termainal that connects to the distributor, and ground, then crank the engine with the ignition "on".

The light should FLASH as the points open and close.

If the light stays ON all the time, there's an open circuit between the coil and points, or dirty points.

If the test light NEVER lights, there is a short in the primary circuit... distributor, points. condensor.

Naw, glennster, I don't type worth a damn. I just SAVE some of these responses in WORD files so I can post them again, without all the typing.

Bet the wire running from the coil through the distributor housing to the points either shorted or went open. Would place more money on it being shorted do to insulation cracking.
