Hello everyone! I am in need of some assistance. I am trying to start my 1956 John Deere 60 that I purchased about a month ago. I am not getting any spark to the plugs and I need to figure out why. I changed the spark plugs and wires and sanded the points. Inside the distributer it looks good. The wirings is a real mess as you can see in the pictures. I was thinking about rewiring it.
I am in need of a wiring diagram so I can figure this all out, so if someone could post one that would be great!
Also in the first picture there is a handle that has the words on and off in it. This is located on the left side of the tractor. What does this handle do? I am new to John Deere 60"s. This tractor was used daily by the previous owner up until about 5 years ago. I finally got some time to do some work on it today. I cleaned out the oil bath air filter and found 5 dead mice in it! That was a very nasty surprise! There was about an inch of dirt at the bottom of the oil. Look at the before and after pictures. Nothing a little work couldn't clean up!
Thanks for reading and for all the help! From Denton, Nebraska. Andrew Kean

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
