Get a generic 12 Volt coil that states "no external reistor required, for about $5.00 to $10.00 more than a resistor will cost you, and save yourself a lot of agravation! The problem with using a resistor is that not all coils draw the same current, so a certain value converting resistor that works well on on type of coil may be too low in value for use with another coil, causing rapid point wear, and an overheated coil, or with another coil the value may be too high, causing weak spark. If you insist on a converting resistor, a "real" auto parts store should be able to come up with one to try. When you get it running, check for 5 to 7 Volts on the resistor (switch) side of the coil.

It Can't Be Done! - A Tractor Story - by Neil Campbell. I'll never forget the time back when I was a boy baling hay on our Farm in Big Rapid, Michigan. The most memorable event that took place was a trip up the steepest incline on the farm pulling an old New-Idea baler with a pony-motor for power and a haywagon. I had just talked my Dad into buying an old John Deere B with 6-speeds ahead and I was real proud of it, except it was a little smaller than the Case tractor that we normally
