my dad used to mow the fields with our old Farmall A, it worked fine for about an hour or 2, then it would start to sputter and just shut off. You could run the starter and it would crank and crank and crank but the engine would not fire at all. We"d have to wait 2 or 3 hours before it would start again. Any ideas what this could be?

I had the approximate problem with an H once. Turned out the vent was plugged in the gas cap, creating a vacuum in the fuel tank after running for awhile. If you haven't found the problem by the next time it does it, loosen the fuel cap and try starting it.

Im pretty much in agreement with all the good tips below. Look for signs of leakage on that coil and see if it passes the smell test and also if its so hot you cant hold your hand on it. If so, Id wonder about things like someone did a 6 to 12 volt conversion and didnt change to a 12 volt coil or didnt add an external ballast resistor. If the coils not hot or leaky Id just change the condensor first since thats such a cheap n easy job n then look to the coil (or the ballast resistor situation or one that overheats) if the problem persists.

Most likely you have a coil going bad. Run it till it stops and then check for spark, if you have none or its weak then it most likely is the coil going bad.

Andrew has hit the most likely source of trouble. If it is as hot as a toaster when it stops, that is it. It should be medium hot, but not on fire. JimN

Bad coil, or condensor seems to be your trouble.
