DUNNDAN said: (quoted from post at 12:56:41 04/11/09) I see what you are saying. The coil I have is a Niehoff. On the sticker it says "12V No external resister required" What do you mean when you say the distributor shorted out? The post on the side of the dist. has the wire from the + side of the coil attached on the putside. On the inside of the dist. the post has the following: a nut, then the condenser wire, then the points spring, then another nut that holds everything together. Should the condenser wire be isolated from the points spring? The points open and close fine. Gap is .021. They are new. The tractor ran fine last time I used it. Thanks for the help.

No, the post, condenser wire & points spring are all common electrically.
The light bulb routine mentioned earlier is a good & easy test.

Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
