Have "53" AC-WD and some times will run for hours no trouble then stop dead, pulled the coil wire, no Spark, let it sit 30 or min. and in most case have spark and start and run's. Some time it will run 5 min and stop check no spark. At this time I'm going to replace the coil to see if that works, I cleaned all the wire contacts and made sure everything is tight but still have the same trouble. Other then coil is there anyother place I should look. Or test for the trouble.

Thank you all for your help I did fine the trouble after doing some diging. There was some type of restor in the line between the switch and coil. Took a volt meter with me and checking voltage went it would stop. I took the resitor out and it runs great now, been running it a number of day no trouble. No one knows what it was in there for. Thanks for the help.

Mag equipped, or distributor? As the fellows mentioned, condensors are usually the culprit. Coils take a lot of blame, and get replaced without fixing the problem. Not saying that a coil doesn't go occasionally, but usually if it's mag equipped, the condensor fails. With distributors, could be the condensor, or a hairline crack in the cap near the high tension towers which eventually if not found, starts carbon tracking to ground, increasing the amount of times the tractor quits. Good Luck! Hope you find the problem.....

Sounds like a classic case of bad coil. However on my WD I had that problem and it was the condenser getting hot and shorting out. As long as you are working on it, if the coil does not fix the problem, I would start with new points and condenser.

I had an Oliver 55 before my WD. I also experienced symptoms like those you described and thought it was the coil since I had installed new points and condensor. Guess what? turned out to be the condensor, put the old one back in as a test after trying a couple of coils and no more problem.
