'63 2000 ignition (?) problem

Posted by Rob in TN on July 31, 2002 at 13:23:42 from (207.65.228.61):

I have a '63 2000 which is giving me problems. After heating up it will start to cut out and then die, especially under a load. Let sit a couple of minutes and it will start fine and run a few more minutes, then same thing again. After some doing some digging and searching around this site it sounds like the coil is a common culprit here, but my problem is that this tractor has been converted to 12v at some point so I'm not sure where to find a replacement coil or what to ask for. Any suggestions as to this or other problems would be most appreciated!
Oh, I am also needing an oil dipstick, any suggestions where to find that as well? I have done business with Mike's Tractors before with good results, but they don't list them in their catalog. Any good salvage yards? TIA
