Have a 1953 John Deere 60 gas tractor. Recently replaced some distributor parts, new points, plugs, condenser, etc. Tractor has not been running or been started in many weeks, but has been sitting in the shop. Was going to TRY to start it today, but after connecting battery cable and turning switch on, just by accident, I noticed that the 6-volt ignition coil casing was VERY hot to the touch. The tractor had not been cranked or running yet, so cannot blame engine heat. This is obvious electrical in nature, but I don"t really know where to start looking. I guess the question is: What will cause the ignition coil to heat up, just being connected to the power of the battery????
Any help would be very much appreciated! Thank you.
