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?

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.
