Having some issues with a 1950 "B" I restored tractor this past year, including a valve job and getting the head checked. After everything was together it ran like a top and started up perfectly everytime. Last week I went to park it out by the road to show off after I washed it and it still started fine, but died when I got up by the road and would not start again. Thinking something had gotten wet and needed to dry out, I left it out in the sun for a couple days.
I found that a stud on the coil was cracked, so I replaced the coil and had weak spark but it wouldn't fire. When dad looked at it and cranked it over all of a sudden everything quit.. wouldn't crank, no lights, nothing. Tested the battery-it checked out fine. Had 6 volts to the starter, 6 volts at my on/off switch.. but still no lights. Dad said he put the charger on it and all of a sudden the lights worked.. I'm out of ideas, and need this tractor to be ready for local parade in 2 weeks. Any ideas of where or what to check before we haul it to someone smarter than I am??
