I have a John Deere 60. It's a late 53 early 54 model I think. Anyways, we just had the carbeurator rebuilt and a new coil put on it. It will run about 5 or 10 minutes and just die. And it also seams that the coil runs hot really easy. Does anyone know what to do?

Justin, it sounds like you might have installed a 12 volt coil without an internal ballast resistor. Your 60 originally came with an internally resisted ignition coil. You should use an internally resisted coil on that 60. Or possibly add an external ballast resistor in the wire that leads from the ign. switch to the coil. If you find that a resistor is needed the ECH 1CR13 resistor from NAPA @1.82 ohms works good,, about $14.00.
~If the coil is new, the resistor information should be written on the coil�s case [it should say something like_ use with external resistor, OR, coil has an internal resistor, no external resistor needed].
~If you can�t find the info on the coil�s case, look in the instructions that came with the coil or call the place you bought it from.
~If you have an ohm meter just measure between the coil�s 2 little wire posts, if under 2 ohms it needs an external ballast resistor. If over 3 ohms it doesn�t need an additional resistor.
~If the coil isn�t the problem, post back as you could have a fuel flow problem�For a quick test�just open the drain cock on the bottom of the carb & see if you are getting a pencil sized stream of fuel for AT LEAST 30 seconds, if not you have a fuel flow restriction. If your 60 has an oil pressure controlled fuel shut-off you must unscrew the knurled knob on it�s top & hold that knob down to do the fuel flow test..

Thanks for your help Clooney. I told my grandfather about what you said and he went and looked at it and it turns out that one of my cousins bought a 6-volt coil and put on it. The tractor was converted to 12-volts. I'll notify all of yall to tell you if that helps.
