My Dad gave me a Ford 1100 that has run well in the past. As I mowed my field last week, I stirred up a bee's nest. In a panic I shut off the throttle and fled running, leaving the ignition on. After calming down, and nursing several stings, perhaps two hours later I braved the bees and returned to my tractor. The battery warning light was lit, and the bees calmed, so I tried to start my tractor, but no go. It wouldn't turn over, no sound, nothing. I assumed that my battery had been drained enough that the engine wouldn't turn over, so I took the battery out and trickle charged it, and returned, only to find that it still wouldn't turn over. Is it possible that the points or the starter were affected by leaving the ignition on for two-three hours? Should I replace my points? Unfortunately, my tractor is about as far from from the road and my barn as it could be. If possible, I'd like to repair in place, otherwise I need to find a really good friend with a tractor who can help me tow my little beast to a better place to work on her.
