If still no joy, the magnet in the rotor might need to be remagnitized. To see if a hotter spark will do the trick, the points can be used to run an exterior 6v coil. The method includes disconnecting the internal lead to the points, but leaving the terminal connected to the points on the inside (normally attaches to the kill switch) attaching an external coil positive small terminal to that terminal instead of the kill switch. Connecting a wire from the battery to the negative small coil terminal (assumes the tractor is positive ground as it came from the factory, if not reverse the coil connections). connect a condenser to the coil positive terminal and ground it's body. (this replaces the internal condenser). A switch in the wire to the battery will allow you to dhut it off easily, or you can use an alligator clip as well to connect and disconnect the temporary ignition. If it works you know you need to either get the magnet recharged, or replace the mag with a IH distributor. They are pretty cheap. Jim Disconnect the mag high voltage wire and connect a coil wire (maybe that one but it is usually short) to the center of the mag cap. This simply uses the rotor and cap and points to make a mag into a distributor.
