Farmall Cub No Spark

Posted by Matt on April 28, 2000 at 17:26:42 from (209.50.103.228):

OK... Used my cub 'Jr' a couple of days ago. Parked him in the barn. Went back to use it today and noticed when I walked up that the iginition pull switch was on and the battery was nearly dead. Now I can't believe I left it on so for the sake of argument let's say one of my kids was follin with it ;-).

Anyway, bat was nearly dead and it would barely turn over. No Problem I thought. Grabbed the car, tried to jump it and there is absolutly no spark. Or at least no spark at the coil.

I tested the ignition switch and it is good.

Not real sure where to turn next. It's still a 6 volt system.

So I guess I'm looking for a troubleshooting guide. I don't have a manual for the cub but am going to order one.

Perhaps I should take this opportunity to upgrade to a 12 volt system ? Is there a particualar part (coil perhaps) that I could have burned up leaving the ignition switch on ? How do you test a coil ?

Thanks in advance for your help.
