Well, I just converted my Ford four cylinder 4000 to electronic ignition with a Pertronix unit, and now I'm a convert too. I always thought it was silly to replace the stock points-and-condensor ignition; after all, how much spark does a 45 hp engine need? But for the past year the stock ignition has been driving me nuts. I've been unable to find replacement points that last more than a few hours, and at least one replacement condensor was bad right out of the box.
One of my co-workers was telling my how happy he was with the Pertronix conversion on his ski boat, so that convinced me to make the switch. It took less than 30 minutes to change out the components, then I bumped the starter and it fired up instantly. And prior to this, I was spending more time trying to get the tractor to run right than I was actually using it.
