I've burned up 4 coils in the past year, having replaced the regulator, resistor, plugs, wires, points, condensor, rotor, cap, battery, and just yesterday the complete wiring harness, on my front-mount 8N. With a new coil, it starts and runs beautifully, but after about 5 hours of time running a 4-ft brush hog the thing will start to sputter, lose power, and eventually stall and refuse to start until and new coil is installed. This is making it hard for me to acquire the level of affection for the 8N I anticipated having when I bought it. Now that I have a new harness I'll try another coil tomorrow, but how can I be sure I'm not going to just burn through another one?! I have from time to time jumped it using a 12-volt running truck, and some say this is bad, some say no problem. Any how, coils seem to have failed without having endured a 12-volt jump and people tell me they've fixed all kinds of old and new tractors and have NEVER had to replace a coil. Can anyone help me before I give up? Gary Clark
