Anything to do with electrical is suspect. The most common issue is the ignition control module they had issues with them from day one!!!. I always had a spare Module on board either under the seat are setting beside the old one under the hood.
I have had a few I chased around the world!
One had a rub thru on a wire it finally stalled and would not start by luck it caught my eye I should have caught it sooner but it was a F600 you had to stand on a ladder to work on it.
The other I drove thousands of miles it ended up a spark plug wire was not hooked up to one of the distributor cap terminals well, high KV would overheat the ignition coil. This was another I should have caught fast.
I have seen every part of the ignition system FAIL! its gotten worst as they age. The worst part is all the parts you will find are cheap junk. The replacement part may fail before you can get it out of the driveway. BTDT a few times.
I am down to working on 2 of these old systems (one is mine)I turn all that show up down I am not gonna lose my arse on another : ) life is good. There is a young guy on Youtube that explains this system well I will have to look for it.

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.
