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 - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
