I had MF and Fords (have) with the slobbering flame thrower TS. My 3000 has a button you push to to power the coil whereeas my 4600 had a specific position on the key switch. With the button, you put the key to the on position, push the button and hold it and then move the key to the next position which is start. Once she lights off, you release the button and the TS deactivates.
On the 4600 you went from off to on where the idiot lights lit, to the next position where the lights went out (indicating that you were in the TS position) and the TS was activated. After holding that for as long as you felt necessary, you went to the start position where the TS was still activated. Upon releasing the key, after the engine lit off, releasing the switch caused it to go back to the on position and the TS was deactivated.
On the MF 35 Perikns 3 cyl, I had to install a new one and just don't remember when it was on and off. I would think that anyone with any sense in design would not leave the TS on indefinitely......coming back to me. As I recall the MF had a ccw switch position which was the TS on spot. After you thought things were warmed up you immediately turned the key to start and upon releasing it returned to the on position. The TS activation switch was not in the circuit in the on position.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
