I need all of the electrical parts or at least everything thats inside of the wico box on the side of the motor. We use this tractor for mowing raking and baling plus farm stock tractor pulls and we have to roll start it. The generator works well the lights all burn and the battery stays up but just cant get any fire on the plugs of the pony motor.

Paul:

Like Clooney said, buying all the distributor parts can get expensive. Even points are extremely pricey from Deere.

When I was bringing back my pony distributor after not running for over 20 years, I bought a complete, do it yourself distributor kit from Magneeders for around $165. That included 2 each coils, condensors, points, and the four plug wires. If you have replace everything, a package like this seems to be the most cost effective. Coils alone are $55 a piece.

I have also bought items from Taylor, but I'm not sure if they offer a package or not.

Paul, while you can buy the whole pony distributor, it is quite expensive. ~There isn't a whole lot that can go wrong in there.
~Probably the first thing to check is that the little power stud on the pony distributor has power with the ign switch on, then stays powered when the starter is engaged & turning. [if that pony distributor isn't getting power it won't work].
~If you have power at the power stud, try cleaning the points & re-gapping to .020" for each set of points when they are on the high part of the cam. ~If that doesn't get you going give the pony coils a sniff [high tec test]... If they smell burnt just replace them. If they don't smell burnt remove the coils & clean the rust from the coil's iron core. The coils still could be bad though so if nothing else found replace the coils.
~It might not hurt to see if you have spark by putting a known good spark plug in one of the plug wires & laying on the block or other metal then cranking the engine, NOTE: leave all the other wires hooked to the plugs in the engine as those ponies have a coil that needs both plugs on a coil hooked up to function.
~If you have been pulling on or otherwise moving those pony plug wires around you should check to BE SURE they are still plugged into the back of the pony coils as they do tend to pull out of the screw in type coils.
~If you have EVER left the ignition switch on for long without the pony running there is a good chance those pony coils are toast.
~I presume you have tried new spark plugs? [try Champion J-8C]
~While there are a lot of places that sell pony motor coils & parts I usually buy mine from Taylor Equipment 1-800-368-3276....
