I have a 1945 farmall A with a H4 magneto, when I got the tractor someone had disconnected the wire from the kill switch and connected it to a key switch. I reconnected it to the kill switch and that worked for a while, but then the kill switch quit working. I was planning on replacing the kill switch but in the meantime I was going to reconnect the wire to the ignition switch to make it easier to shut off. Well I stupid like connected it to the ignition post on the key switch and turned it on, which fried something in the magneto (probably about a week after rebuilding the magneto I will add). Today I replaced the coil, condenser and half of the points, and I cleaned the other half of the points and then set them. It has ignition when you take the top cover off and connect, or try at least, a spark tester to the coil, it also usually has fire on the coil wire, sometimes it wouldn’t but that could have been because it wasn’t making good connection, but it does NOT have fire on the spark plug wires, no matter what. The distributor and rotor look ok (I replaced the rotor when I rebuilt the magneto). I can’t figure out what’s going on.

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
