I just got my fathers 1947 Farmall B. It has not run if 15 years. It ran when parked but now has no spark. How do you get to the points on the mag? I have a feeling they are corroded. I took the cap off and the rotor but there is a plate under the rotor. Are the points under the rotor? Do you just take the plate out and get to the points or is it that simple?

Hi Mike, When checking the points its the cover with the three screws that hold it not the little cover with the 2 screws that holds the rotor gear and if you removed that you will have to retime it.Point gap 13 thousands. Usally condenser tend to go pretty easy. Let me know if you need more info or parts I can help. I can also rebuild to if you run into having to have that done. Just get back to me. JON

First note the position of the rotor where it is pointing before you remove the three screws behind the rotor. The end of the mag will come off and you will be able to see the points. Mite just get by cleaning them with a piece of cardboard. The condenser is changed by removing the top square cover that covers the coil.Then you can see the cond. But to change it you will have toremove the mag. Dont worry about the cond yet. Clean the points first then see if you have spark. Mite want to get a manual before taking mag out or get someone who KNOWS what they are doing or you can end up with a mess.
