I haven't even gotten into the wiring and alternator problem yet, and now this afternoon as I was driving the H along a woods road it suddenly shut down just like I had pushed the kill switch. I've been trying to bring out firewood for our neighbor to the south which is a homeless shelter. I only got one load out this afternoon and now the tractor is sitting in one of their roads in a muddy spot about a mile from here. I had a spare condenser and set of points for it in the barn so I put them in, but no change. I have good gas flow out of the carb drain but was not able to see any spark at all when I held the plug wire near the plug top. The magnets on the sides of the coil seemed pretty weak when I held a screwdriver by them, but that doesn't seem like something that would make it die all at once like that. Is there a way to test the coil or should I replace it? What else should I look at in there? The old points didn't look too bad but I replaced them anyway. I'm sorry this is so long. Thanks very much for any help. Zach

Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
