I have a 400 Farmall with a loader. That's all I use it for, so it doesn't get many hours/year. I have to run non foulers on the spark plugs, I put new points, condenser and rotor in it last Dec. Started and ran good. I've used it a few times over the summer and then it got to missing and dieing. I put new plugs in it again and it ran good for about an hour. I was going to use it today to switch a gravity wagon end for end on the running gear. I started it, started hard but finally ran, I let it warm up quite a while thinking that would help it run better. I hooked the chains on the wagon and started to pick it up and it died and wouldn't start. I checked plugs with the spark plug tester, no fire. I took the distributor cap off and it was green corroded inside on the terminals and around the center lobe. I took emery paper and tried to shine them up a little and then took cover off and checked points, no fire. When I was poking around the points with a screw driver, I could hear a click when I opened the points but did not see any fire. I touched the coil and it was not hot. I'm ready to go the whole nine yards on it, points, condenser, cap, rotor, plugs(again) and new plug wires. Am I missing something here. I don't know of anyone around who can check a coil. I was thinking the distributor cap until it didn't have any fire. What would you do with it?? Thanks, Chris

Today's Featured Article - On the Road with Dave Gohl: Auction Musings - by Dave Gohl. I was thinking the other day about all the auctions I've been to in the last few years. There've been many. Some have been very good, some have been well, disappointing to say the least. But no matter how good or bad auctions may be, we always seem to stay until the item we've come for or are interested in is on the block. I've been to some auctions near and far. I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
