Recently posted about Ferguson 1949 TE-20, Continental engine, 12 V. starting fine and then running for a while, then stopping, then took a minute or two before I could start it and then the cycle would begin again. Running time became less and less until it only ran a minute or so. Anyhow, I came upon the ignition resistor. A guy told me that this ceramic block with two spade connections which was connected between the coil and the ignition switch of my tractor, should have 12+ volts running in from the ignition switch and 6+ running out. He said this kept the points from burning out. Mine has the same voltage (12+) running in as out. What should I do? Do I need a new ignition resistor? Is this why the tractor keeps stopping? Where can I find a wiring diagram that I can check my wiring with a diagram showing a changeover from 6 volt to 12 volt?
