This is a bit of a newcomer's report but I thought it might help as an archived account of a solution. My '47 H would die or not be able to restart after it ran for about five minutes. It had a ballast resistor in line with a 6V coil. The resistor got hot but the coil did not - which I would assume would be normal. The no-start condition would also appear if the battery was left connected (I usually disconnect the negative ground when not in use) and the shutoff switch was pulled out to the 'on' position. This would heat up the resistor which, again, is to be expected. I pulled the spark plugs and grounded the outside of the plug to cylinder one. When the engine and resistor were cool, I'd get spark; when the resistor was hot, no spark. So I replaced both the resistor and the 6V coil with a 12V coil and now it doesn't die and can be restarted hot. Because the no-start condition appeared with just the resistor heating up, I'm assuming that it was the resistor that was bad. What would be the Volt/Ohmeter test on the resistor to verify this?

The Cletrac General GG and the BF Avery A - A Bit of History - by Mike Ballash. This article is a summary of what I have gathered up from various sources on the Gletrac General GG and the B. F. Avery model A tractors. I am quite sure that most of it is accurate. The General GG was made by the Cleveland Tractor Company (Cletrac) of Cleveland, Ohio. Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
