Ok this weekend was a little productive. Anyway, I was able to spend a couple of hours work on the tractor Saturday afternoon. I have that nice multi tester but the truth is, is that the little pigtail light is still way more important in figuring out where current is or is not going. Ok, I bought a new ignition switch and starter switch. I have good power through the 12 volt coil to the negative side, however once I connect the negative side to the Dist. there is no power on the negative side. I believe this is because the points are closed and until they are open no power will be going through the Dist. Is this correct? So now that I think I have worked out the electronics of this thing, I am feeling a little better, "baby steps". I went to use the hand crank to figure out TDC for the #1 piston and the little pin is missing on the outside of the cranking bar. So I had no way of really using the hand crank to get this in time with the dist, what type of pins have you guys put in there to replace the stock pin? Also, you are supposed to set the points to 0.020 when one of the rectangle shaft corners (not the flat side) is pushing the arm out, just at the point of where it should open and shut. I have done this, but I have noticed that only one corner of the shaft touches the arm, or in other words the points are only opening once per full revolution of the Dist. Shaft. I have a feeling this is incorrect and that the points should be opening 4 times per revolution. So once I figure this out I will proceed with TDC and the plugs.

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
