Every so often I see questions about points on here. How often do you all mess with the points/condenser on your old machines? I don't use any of my old machines for hard field work anymore, but they all get frequent extended use (loader tractor, grading, mowing, etc). Some of those tractors I have never cracked the distributor since I brought them home. With my 8N it's because that front distributor is a booger, but all of the Farmalls run just fine. I kind of figure that if those parts are 15 years old they are probably of better quality than any new piece I would put in. Am I the only one that does this?
I don't want you all to think I don't maintain things. I tend to over grease and change oil plenty frequently. I just don't touch the ignition until I have to.
It's odd because I have old VW cars around here I have restored and do those points/condensers all the time. Maybe it's the way I learned. I never remember seeing dad doing ignition work on the tractors.
