Farmall 130

Haven't been on here in awhile. Tractor (1958 Farmall 130 hasn't been running in awhile so would like to get a new distributor cap, wires, plugs etc. Wondering if i can get something at Nappa Close by or do i have to go to a dealer 2 hrs away.
Thanks Kerry

I buy all that kind of stuff at NAPA, including oil filters. They just need to know the model and if you have a mag or distributor and they can find the parts.
 
Have you looked into getting a Pertronix ignition and get rid of the points ? This site sales them.
 
Cleaning ther points and making sure there is no moisture in the distributor cap, then making sure there is fuel in the carb is all
you should do to get it running. Putting parts into it before assessing "the way it is" can cause more headaches. In other words
don't throw parts at it. Best advice I have. Oil change sure. Coolant check yes. Jim
 
DO NOT just replace parts because you have not run it in a long time. Do like I do. Check for spark and if you have no spark clean the points. I have many tractor like the Case VAC I got late in the summer that had not run in a few years. I fixed the fuel line and cleaned the points and drove it off the trailer in less then and hour after I got it home. Still has the old cap rotor plug wires and points in it and it fired up when I want it to run.

Always trouble shoot then parts or your going to ad more problems then you fix
 
Nappa does carry parts for tractors. I had to replace a battery one time for a farmall cub. The Nappa parts person could not believe that he had the battery in stock at his store. At the time I was in L.A. cal. working on a farmall cub (yes you might want to say I was shocked to).It was for a 1947 farmall cub 6 volt system. Just like to add yes check your parts before replacing them. If you replace them it might be a good ideal to bring the bad part with you so you can check the new part with the bad part. Make Shure they match up. so they will work on that engine.
 

While it is bad practice to replace parts just because it might fix a problem, it is generally considered good preventive maintenance to replace parts subject to deterioration, or wearing out before they actually give out as you are proposing to do. See if you can hold onto some of that snow, I may come up there snowmobiling next weekend.
 
What makes you think you need new parts but if you must get the # from the dist so you get ones that fit. Word of caution dont change the condenser as too many new one fail or just bad from start and the old one probably will last as long as you have the tractor. Maybe new plugs would be the first i would change
