New poster here with a couple questions on my old tractor. It's a 1962 B414 Gas w/BD154 engine. We used it prior to a recent move to mow and bale a little hay and key the riding arena in shape. I now live in a much snowier area and have put about 30+ hours on this month just keeping the driveway open.

Can I just buy a set of generic wires, cut the boots off and make my own screw-on ends with screw caps that come with the distributor cap?
