Now, I have one further question to verify if I've understood you correctly. In an earlier reply in this thread you proposed the following: QUOTE Disconnect the coil to distributor wire at the through post on the dist. Connect that terminal end on the wire to a good condenser wire, and ground the condenser body. With 12v to the ign side of the coil, touch the lead and condenser wire to ground, it should spark a little, as it is acting as points. When you break this connection to ground, the coil should spark. If it does not it is a bad coil. This process eliminates the distributor all together. Jim UNQUOTE

In other words, if one were to wire the distributor ignition from a battery standing on the floor, and assuming the distributor is electrically isolated form the tractor frame, you would never get a spark?
Thanks, Hendrik Doubt whether these musings help Matt in getting his Super C running LOL
