Hello all,
I know this topic has probably been beat to death on here, but I would like some opinions on what the appropriate setup is for the 8N tractor(originally 6V, converted to 12V) I'm rewiring for my father. I removed all the wiring from the tractor and am in the process of making a new harness for it, but I believe I was sold the wrong ignition coil by the store on this site and need to double check if the info I've gathered is correct. The "12V" coil I purchased has around 1.4Ω of resistance, which combines with the ballast resistor for a total of about 1.8Ω in the ignition coil circuit and draws nearly 8A of current. From what I've read, I should shoot for about 4A through the coil, does that sound about right? I've tried contacting the site's store to make sure I was sent the right coil and was ignored, so I guess at this point I'll try to figure out the right sized resistor to bring the current draw down.
