TO-20, We have finally restarted working on this old beauty -have a few days until things dry out around here to continue a landscaping project--(all day kind of labor,all hand work getting ready for Mothers Day,) (dont forget fellow's, May 13), it would be kind of nice to have the old girl T0-20 to drag off some trees we are going to cut down ---we put in new battery, turned over good but no spark-we have current through the coil, down to the distributor, but there, somewhere, it stops. new condenser,new points-still no good-plug wires all new.
---At one point last winter one of Us non mechanics was fiddeling with the distributor, pulled it up right out of the block,"whats this?" the idiot says--We already have explict directions from this discussion board on how to put it back in properly--- printed off and ready to go. thanks. ---My question is this, do we have to have the distributor back into, or about, its proper position to get spark? Our mechanic is bringing volt meter tommorrow(THURSDAY) for another session-we only get to work on it a few hours a week at a time--
---one more thing, when replaced the condenser & points,We took the old ones out, took them to the tractor supply place to make sure we had matching parts-could not get back to work on tractor for a week-in the distributor, there is a copper band sticking up out the inside of the distributor, i think it was attached to the back of the points.
Is that where that copper band is attached? and what exactly does it do? I have two manuels, even the old original manuel, but there is no mention of it , so I am trying to make sure.
Thanks, i sure appreciate this board
