Sheila,
If the tractor has been sitting a while, chances are the points took on some moisture and they need to be cleaned, as LH said. Usually, a little spritz of tuner cleaner, or even a litte rubbing alcohol will clean off any moisture present. Also, if the machine is equipped with a mag kill switch in the Ammeter panel, sometimes corrosion will cause the switch to fail and it will ground the spark to the mag which will give the same problem that you're having. Just disconnect the wire at the mag and see if it starts, if it starts right up, there's yer' culprit. Coils usually don't go bad immediately, if the machine was running prior to your problem. Check those easy things first, they're the things that make you pull yer' hair out. We rebuild, sell parts, and service Fairbanks and other mags, and it's usually something simple that causes the problems. If your still having troubles, drop us a line, be happy to help ya out...
