Thanks to all! to Bigdog this is a distrbutor ignition system ! I checked the coil with no power on! Tractor will not run yet at this time! I was told by Tractor Supply that if I took the volt meter (using the battery in the volt meter for current) And on each terminal of the coil put the leads from the volt meter and if the meter read the current from the battery from the volt meter that the coil was good it made sense if the coil was burned out then you would not get the reading because the current from the voltmeter battery wouldnt go to the other terminal of the coil! Again I am no expert I know in my days on the farm we rarley replaced the coil! But most of all our equip was 12V
The battery proably is shot! As far as jumping it off I wondered if the riding lawn mower battery would budge it! It is a 12 v battery but is smaller lower amp less likley to burn anything up!
When I said the top of the battery almost blew off the tractor was in operating condition at that time and I was plowing the garden and noticed the top of the battery buldging had to loosen the battery caps to relese the pressure to keep from exploding
What gage of wire would I need to re-educate the generator ? I have plenty of Underground dog fence wire would this work??
