Ok here is everything that happened with this tractor from start of the problems to right now. I am fully prepared for a barrage of people telling me how I messed up the ignition system as long as you also help me fix what is wrong. This is my dads tractor. It is a 8n front mount 6 volt system. It was running rough and my dad wanted me to put in new points. I did that and had a hard time getting them adjusted right but it finally worked. After that it was hard to start, we needed to jump it to start it. It would run fine after it started. My dad never understood the positive ground so he switched around the cables and it actually started better after that. I was very surprised. It ran fine for a week or two and then one day during a rain it quite on him. The battery is now installed as a positive ground but the battery has been charged backwards and currently has a reversed polarity. I have not been able to get it to run right since.

Please at least give me one piece of advice for every insult as to how much I messed up this tractor. Thank you!!
