Need Some Help!!!!

When you have this many electrical gremlins it is a good bet that your tractor is way behind on the 6-volt maintenance. Every terminal needs to be taken apart and made clean and shiny. Both of my tractors were so bad when I got them it was easier to simply start over with a new harness. That saved me from having to chase down the problems one at a time.

It's also a good idea to use new zinc-plated nuts and washers on every terminal. The new hardware will temporarily rust-proof the connections so they will stay clean longer than simply shining up the existing hardware.

Some preventative maintenance work up-front when you have the time will save hours of frustration later when you are trying to get some real work out of your tractor.

I would hot wire the ignition switch for dignosis purposes instead of throwing another part at it.

The internal contacts gitt gunked-up and heat-up and cause weak sparkies. Takes about 1-hr to cool down enuff so you can re-start and run fer few minutes before barfin' the sparkies again.

It usually takes yer squarecan ignition coil about 1-hr to overheat. NOT yer reported problem.

Iff'n yer battery is truely dead, only cure is 12-hrs of 4-amp trickle charge.

Howsomevers, semi-dead batterys will semi-come'ta'life after overnite rest. Might be enuff to re-start yer tractor in morning. But you have other issues that need resolving. Like why ain't it charging in first place???..... .Dell, yer self-appointed sparkie-meister
