Dog, I have absolutely no specs or data whatsoever, but can offer an engineering educated guess. HOWEVER if Bob M or ElToro or Janic have data to the contrary, you better believe them over me. I'm knee deep in theory and give Seminars at the national John Deere Shows and used to write technical articles for The Green Magazine but havent owned Farmalls in yearsssssssss. My best guess is that resistor would be in the range of 2.5 to 3.2 ohms, probably wirewound, and of course, must be a power rated unit. My assumptions are for a field to draw 2 amps at 6 volts, it would be around 3 ohms resistance Soooooooo an aditional 3 ohms in series would cut the field current in half. Another thing is those off the shelf generic power resisitors dont come in every ohms, so try whats available n see the resultant charge rate, so go from there, maybe start around 2.5 ohms n see what happens. Thats the best I have for ya best wishes n God Bless John T

Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
