If there is a coil separate from the device you call a mag, the situation may be complex. But not a problem. If the thing with the spark plug wires coming out of a cap has a squarish shape with a black hump on it, and there is a snapping noise as it is cranked, it has a magneto on it. This magneto should make its own electricity, but several have been left inoperative. A patch of the system is to use the mag as if it were a distributor. To do this the mag (with its internal coil) is changed inside by disconnecting the internal coil from the points, and using the points and internal condenser to operate an external coil. The points will then be used to fire the regular coil through the connection formerly used to stop the engine (kill switch, ground through the mag original switch) So if this is the case, a wire with voltage from the battery (6volts) will go to a new switch. From the new switch the voltage will go to the coil negative side. From the coil Positive side a wire will go the the connection on the side of the mag (former kill terminal). If the points are not burned to a crisp by putting voltage to the wrong place, my setup should be correct. JimN

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
