Hi Tom, your good question:
If that is the case does one need a 12 volt coil in the conversion, and if you use the existing 6volt coil do you need a resistor. Any explanation needs to be simple and straight forward
its been answered before by myself and others so I will just give you some basics, SIMPLE AND STRAIGHT FORWARD AS YOU ASKED and ONLY to your question
If its a 12 volt tractor you can use EITHER A) A full true 12 volt rated coil NO BALLAST REQUIRED orrrrrrrrrr B) The old 6 volt coil PLUS an inline series voltage dropping (12 down to 6) Ballast Resistor placed between the ignition switch output and coils input (NOT elsewhere is my choice) .. That way it drops 6 volts leaving 6 volts for a 6 volt coil EASY PEASEY works either way.
NOTE match the coil polarity to that of the tractor.
Hey this YOUR tractor YOUR money YOUR choice you get no argument from me
Post back any more questions, I purposely DID NOT talk about things you didn't ask.
