I have the coil/dist/cutout with battery ignition. This tractor has been in the barn for i don't know how long but my father in law says that it was used last sometime in the past 10 years. Just to see what kind of shape it is in I hooked up a new 6 volt battery today and hit the start switch... nothing after a few times... then I tapped the pedal a little harder and it slowly turned over for me. I turned it over a few times and then it lost it. I disconnected the battery and noticed that lightswitch/ammeter box had the burnt wire smell and the case felt a little warm (it was cold today). Any ideas on what I'm looking at here or what my next steps should be? Repair manual is in the mail by the way along with a 12 volt conversion kit w/harness that I hope will solve the problem anyway. Could the switch be bad? If so, can I just wire the new 12 volt lights up to a separate switch and not use it? Let me know what I'm missing here.
