Boy, I didn't think I would get this much flack. What phase of the moon are we in ? LOL. John I am thinking along the same line as you. How can these coils be labeled in a simpler way for those who do not understand? I am always thinking of a way to make an improvement. I suppose there could be six lines of printing on the coil giving an explanation but that will probably be misconstrued by today's mechanics. The old round coil has been a thing of the past on most engines for quite some time now and those who worked on vehicles back in the day are either too old to hold a wrench or are gone. Back in the day the two banger mechanic knew what to use as did the Ford, Chevy and every other brand mechanics. Not so today! When I made this post I was a little frustrated with undoing a wiring job done by someone who did not know what he was doing. A poorly crimped spade connector was put on the factory wire that feeds the coil. The spade connector was plugged into a male spade on a short pigtail that had a cheap thin flimsy forked connector on the coil end that was squished out from under the nut on the primary side of the coil. This tractor should have a 12V coil with resistance. We know that, someone else did not! It looks to me like someone had put a ceramic resistor with male spade connectors somewhere close to the 6V coil but removed it for some reason, hence the short jumper with a male spade that plugged into the barely crimped on non original female spade on the factory wire and a fork on the other end that went to the coil.

Shoddy barely workable flimsy wiring wrapped in tape doesn't bother some people. If it works, fine with them. I do not go by that book and never will.

Today's Featured Article - History of the Nuffield Tractor - by Anthony West. The Nuffield tractor story started in early 1945. The British government still reeling from the effects of the war on the economy, approached the Nuffield organization to see if they would design and build an "ALL NEW" British built wheeled tractor, suitable for both British and world farming. ...
