Paul: On your H problem, you did say it has mag ign, right or wrong? I must admit I shy away from mag problems, having had nothing to do with them since 1955. However if it is mag ign you must have two problems, as tow starting a mag ign tractor would have nothing to do with starter, battery, generator, etc. What I do know about mags, they can be tempermental.

Aside from the mag situation, I've had much the same starting problem 3 times in the past 50 years and all with distributor ign. I've had 3 Ampmeters fail and each time the tractor stopped dead in it's tracks. No starter or no fire. The first one was Farmall 300 when it was less than two years old, stopped in the middle of the field baling hay. My 130 did the same about 10 years ago, stopped going down rows cultivating. The 140 I have had the electrical destroyed when I bought it. We did get it running with a series of jump wires, but I had to replace the ampmeter before it would start and run on it's own. I don't remember checking the lights on 300 or 130, however on my 140 the lights did work.

Just something to think about.
