Farmall M Ignition Parts Question

Anonymous-0 · Jul 7, 2008

Just wondering what is the best bang for the buck. How good are the points/tune-up kits/dist. caps that you can get at a Fleet Farm store (Carrco brand?) vs. what you can get through NAPA. I haven't priced NAPA yet, but am figuring they'll be more expensive. But is the quality worth the extra amount? Or are they from the same supplier and both will pit/wear out in a short period of time? Thanks for the help.

i just had a problem with my m saturday, weak spark. seems the points were well worn. i had a tune up kit from farm and fleet laying around, so i put it in. most of the stuff fit, but the cap was a little short and fit loose with the clips on it. the rotor was a little loose too.i will stop at case ih this week and pick up a set there.

Don't know about the Carrco brand. Never heard of it. I can attest to the Tisco brand however. I use them myself. Fit and perform just like original.

Hello
I'm new to this tractor thing but I'm ready to add my comments for whatever they might be worth.I have an old Chevy that needed a set of points recently, I went to the local NAPA store ( the only parts store in town ) they charged me $48.00 for a set of points, not a tune up kit just points, I needed them so I bought them. A few days later my friend that has a small auto service business told me that the only way to go these days is to buy a kit to eliminate the points ( all electronic ) kit costs $100.00 and labor is the same as replacing the points, no more points worrys. If the kit works on cars I would guess it fits tractors or a kit should be available for tractors, worth giving it a try.
