1949 8N Front Mount, 12 volt Negative Ground.

Can I change it over to electronic ignition.

I read yesterday the possibility of the front axle pivoting and breaking off one of the cap nipples. I haven't had this happen yet but if I do with electronic ignition is it the same price to replace as a regular points and condensor system. Or is it some special EXPENSIVE cap that would be needed.

I'm not interested too much in originallity. I just want my tractor to be useable. Going on 3 years and this is the first trouble I have had with it. I'd like to know before I go buy a tune up kit for it tomorrow (Friday).

Pooh..... ...while a "bad" front axle king-pin can allow the axle to break your 4-nipple frontmount ignition cap #2 nipple. Ain't no biggie. New 4-nipple cap $20 (cheap). New frontaxle kingpin $30 (cheap) Stranded out in the middle of the field PRICELESS..... ....Dell, yer self-appointed sparkie-meister

Thanks Dell. I ain't never too far from the house to walk and haven't had one break yet. So I might just give this some serious consideration.
