I know this isn't hard - my age is catching up with me so I need a little help. My neighbor put a 12V battery in his 2N tractor- and also had a "resistor" wired in the ignition wire going to his 6V coil; but couldnt get it to run right -or run at all. I went over and we put a volt meter on the resistor and had 12V going in and 3V coming out; so I replaced it with a new one. The new one read 12V going in and 12V coming out; so we said - "Hmmm". LOL...we got the idea of doing away with the resistor and went to Orscheln and bought a 12V coil and replaced the 6V coil and it fired right up and runs. So - question- does the "points and condenser" care about voltage? Are points ok with 6V and/or 12V? Or what should we do? Thanks.

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.
