The distributor is on the magneto. If I take the magneto off, and hold the rotor while moving the magneto "lug" interlock, there's no play. This suggests to me that the magneto/distributor itself is working properly.

On the inside of the center post is what looks to be a little piece of spring loaded carbon.

I replaced the rotor, and that made no difference.

What could happen to the cap to make it fail so suddenly?

This is what I've done:

1. Tractor ran fine.
2. Removed magneto to clean the outside of it.
3. Primed/painted the whole thing.
4. Realized the distributor cap should have been left black, so I removed all the paint from the cap.

In that line of events, how could the cap suddenly fail? :/

Thanks for any insights you may provide.
