Now, I have one further question to verify if I've understood you correctly. In an earlier reply in this thread you proposed the following: QUOTE Disconnect the coil to distributor wire at the through post on the dist. Connect that terminal end on the wire to a good condenser wire, and ground the condenser body. With 12v to the ign side of the coil, touch the lead and condenser wire to ground, it should spark a little, as it is acting as points. When you break this connection to ground, the coil should spark. If it does not it is a bad coil. This process eliminates the distributor all together. Jim UNQUOTE
Will this test only work if one battery post is properly grounded to the tractor frame?
In other words, if one were to wire the distributor ignition from a battery standing on the floor, and assuming the distributor is electrically isolated form the tractor frame, you would never get a spark?
Thanks, Hendrik Doubt whether these musings help Matt in getting his Super C running LOL

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
