Get a generic 12 Volt coil that states "no external reistor required, for about $5.00 to $10.00 more than a resistor will cost you, and save yourself a lot of agravation! The problem with using a resistor is that not all coils draw the same current, so a certain value converting resistor that works well on on type of coil may be too low in value for use with another coil, causing rapid point wear, and an overheated coil, or with another coil the value may be too high, causing weak spark. If you insist on a converting resistor, a "real" auto parts store should be able to come up with one to try. When you get it running, check for 5 to 7 Volts on the resistor (switch) side of the coil.

For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king.
