I put new points on my 3 cylinder 4000 when I first bought the tractor about 4 years ago just out of principal, as everything was working fine when I bought it, but I changed the plugs, plug wires, points, condenser, rotor and cap just to make sure I had known good parts in everything just in case I had to troubleshoot anything down the road. I've only put about 15 hours per year on it since then so the ignition parts only have about 60 hours on them, but the points, plugs, distributor cap & rotor, everything's still working great and it starts on less than one revolution every time and runs smooth and strong. I don't see any need to go to electronic ignition since I'm not having any problems, and if I were to have a problem, I would troubleshoot it before upgrading to EI. If my troubleshooting showed a problem that was likely to reoccur, and I thought that EI would keep it from reoccurring, then I would consider the upgrade.
