Causes of premature point burn up may be:
1) Excess current cuz the ballast is undersized in cases with a 6 volt coil on a 12 volt tractor
2) Undersized or not connected or bad condensor
3) Condensor isnt well grounded
4) Points incorrectly gapped
NOTE you mentioned a resistor .......Normally a 6 volt tractor with a 6 volt coil WOULDNT HAVE ANY EXTERNAL BALALST RESISTOR
An 8 volt battery on a 6 volt system and 6 volt unballasted coil will cause minor premature points burn up cuz the points are switching a lil more current buttttttttttt If its a 6 volt coil and the condensor is good and wired in I wouldnt expect them to burn up all that much sooner. To be exact a smaller sized ballast would be used when running an 8 volt battery and a 6 volt coil...
Id check the condensor and its wiring n connection n ground,,,,,,,,look into that resistor situation as if its a 6 volt coil you dont need a regular sized ballast but a smaller ohms unit.......

Today's Featured Article - The Fordson F Ignition System - by Anthony West. A fellow restorer contacted me earlier this year asking for some help and advice on a model F that he was restoring. He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
