I agree with John T I will put a easy to check spin on the problem. Remove the wire from the outside of the distributor. Turn on the ignition ot run position. With this wire in your hand, and the terminal lug sticking out of your fingers, touch it to the metal of the tractor. This will ground the wire (just as the points do!) now (if you measured it you would find no voltage at the terminal on the wire you are holding.) Remove the wire from the shiny metal, and it will spark a little when you do. If you take the coil wire and set it so that there is a 1/8th inch gap between it and a ground, and play with the wire you removed by rubbing it on the shiny metal, making and breaking this temporary set of points, the coil will spark. It will not be a great fat blue spark because there is no condenser hooked up, but spark it will. If there is no spark doing this I will blame that wire in your hand, it is bad. Your problem is either that wire, or there is a open in the connection to the points. This means thet the little stud that passes voltage into the distributor, is not connected to the movable point in the point set, or the [points are coated with something that does not conduct electricity. This must be the case! Jim
