Aaron - Your description indicates the generator isn't wired right. Punch the link below - it'll take you to a wiring diagram for a setup with a 4-terminal regulator like you've got. Note: If you've got a 4 position "LHDB" light switch you're gonna wind up with an unused resistor terminal on the light switch when you're finished. This is because the original setup had a cutout relay only (no regulator). Voltage regulation was manually controlled by the light switch/resistor combination.

The hot coil problem however is puzzling. My experience has been 6 volt coils work fine and run cool without additional resistors on 8 volt systems. A couple of possibilities:

1 - The coil is defective (got an internal short). Does the tractor start/run with this coil?

2 - You simply left the ignition switch "on" for an extended period with the motor not running. This can overheat the coil - may also burn the points too.

Hope this helps...

PS - ltf is right - if the tractor is positive grounded, the + on the coil should go to the distributor and the - to the ign switch, as shown on my diagram.
