Couple of things you might check/try: First, check the voltage between the resistor and your coil to see if the resistor is doing the job. You can do this both with the tractor running and stopped. When stopped, you should see the full battery voltage between the coil and resistor when the points are open, and about half when the points are closed. If you see half the voltage with the points open, you've probably got a bad condenser, although a short somewhere in the distributor is also possible. When the tractor is running, you should see a fluctuating voltage alternating around maybe 8 volts between the coil and resistor. Since half the voltage drop is supposed to take place across the resistor, it should be as hot as the coil, or something is probably wrong with it. If you're more into the plug-in-new-parts-until-it-works school, try a new condenser or two - these things don't seem to be as reliable as they once were, and not many people claim to know how to check them, so trying more than one isn't a bad idea. They do have the advantage of being relatively cheap. Hope this helps, and good luck. My bet is you've got a bad condenser from your description.

Tractor Profile: Oliver 70 Row Crop - by Staff. The Oliver 70 was part of the "Fleetline Series" and was manufacturered from 1937 to 1948. The row-crop configuration could have either dual or single front wheels. The Oliver 70 was also offered in the standard, orchard and industrial configurations. The tractors were sold in Canada. An early advertisement states "Power when you want it - power when you need it - power to help put in crops when field conditions are right and time and help are limited. That's the power you'll find in an Oliv
