I have a Ford 600 that we are working on...it's in rough shape but I got it to jump last night with 12V at starter and the engine cranks so that is my first good news. Look like wiring is a nightmare. Most bolts are rusted and un-removable so will die grind most of them off to even get the sheet metal off. Question 1) No spark while cranking, but will there be spark if a real dead battery? Not sure if generator will deliver spark if 6V battery so far shot. I want to check wiring as next step as maybe ignition switch is bad. Question 2) No key switch on this one....; Isn't the left side under wheel ignition and right is lights? Both switches look rough but still no spark.
Question 3) Can I remove 6V battery and run 12V jump box at battery cables? I think the coil may get damaged so I'm a bit leary to doing that....
Question 4) I need to answer this myself but 6v vs 12V is on my mind. My old 960 had 6V and always started rough but thousands of 6V tractors out there. It sounds like I can but a 12V conversion kit and keep 6V coil. Is that the way to go??? I also like the idea of point removal with ignition system.
Found this from SOUNDGUY from a couple years ago....I think I'll try it. Thanks to him in advance!
for basic testing, a wire from the oem thumb starter switch to the solenoid trigger terminal, bat and starter hooked up.
wire from bat ot thru key to coil primary 1 side.. other side primary out to dizzy, coil secondary to dizzy cap.

Today's Featured Article - The Fordson F Ignition System - by Anthony West. A fellow restorer contacted me earlier this year asking for some help and advice on a model F that he was restoring. He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
