I see in a recent post on one of the brand specific forums as well as several instances on other boards a post has been made about problems with a misfire. The tractor in question has the normal point and coil ignition as most tractors in the era that are discussed here have. Quite often one of the replies question if the tractor has solid wire core spark plug wires. Then the poster giving the help rants on for a sentence or two how the tractor just won't be able to run with a carbon center suppression type spark plug wire. The Farmall M I have has a mix of both due to through the years when a misfire problem would develop what ever was stored on the shelf of the farm shop is what was thrown at it until the problem was corrected and then back to doing the job it went. Obviously that is a "shoddy mechanical repair approach" but it runs fine purring along on all cylinders. So let's say from the late 50s through the mid 70s hundreds of thousands of cars were produced and sold with carbon core suppression wires and went probably millions of miles fairly reliably. Many of these vehicles use the same brand of ignition systems as our trusty tractors as an example Delco or Motorcraft. So with that why are carbon core suppression spark plug wires such a "bane" for tractors? I know one of the reasons will be the tractor was not originally equipped or designed to use them, but let's get some good reasons beyond that. TIA Rick

Today's Featured Article - My Ford Golden Jubilee - by Troy Estes. This article is about my '53 Ford Jubilee and a story that starts with taking the tractor to my brother's Starter/Alternator Rebuilding shop for a wiring fix. The generator was shot as well as all the wiring. I dropped off the tractor expecting a transformation from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system utilizing the original generator housing, and a total rewiring of the whole tractor. The front end center pin bushing was worn also so I ask that they replace it if they had time. Well, that’s wha
