A 1950 could be either one since the end of the front mount run ended in 1950 and the start if the side mount started in 1950. I figure since you say what you did about the coil it is a side mount. Now is your tractor 6 or 12 volts?? If it say no external resister needed sounds like you have a 12 volt coil as in it is wound in such a way the is is made to work with a 12 volt system. If it said external resister needed then that would be one wound to work on a 6 volt system or a 12 volt with a resister [Reply]   [No Email]

But the bigger question is: why are you replacing the coil in the first place? A bad 6v round coil is pretty rare. 50 Tips   [Reply]  [No Email]

It's the only thing left. I have new wires, new ignition switch, new condenser, and new points. Dont know what else could be causing it.   [Reply]  [No Email]
