A BIG THANKS JD, My old memory was right indeed surprise lol. I thought I saw a picture once with an older car coil that contained a ballast resistor inside the can, and it looks like my memory was also correct regarding that noticeable ring separation in the can (something I've never seen on any old tractor coil). Of course, that was back in the thirties and NOT in any old tractor coil (the kind most discussed on this antique tractor forum) I ever saw or recall from the thirties and up. Prior to then many tractors used Magnetos instead of battery powered coil ignitions. Now watch somebody post a picture of a thirties or forties vintage tractor coil like that coil above lol lol NEVER SAY NEVER
I learned to NEVER SAY NEVER AND NEVER SAY ALWAYS on here and try to choose my words which is I why I often (not every time) say when telling people coils DO NOT have an internal discrete stand alone ballast resistor, I'm talking about typical old tractor coils which remains true I believe until proven otherwise.
Thanks again, fun and informative post and as I posted recently, I don't consider any post or story useless, right or wrong, but whose to judge that NOT MEEEEEEEEEEE lol.
John T Always love to learn something new THANKS AGAIN JD
