Got the replies on the neighbors MT that is running rough. A quick overview is the tractor starts and runs very good for about 15 minutes, then seems to labor a little for a few seconds, then runs good again for 10 or so more minutes, then labors a little, then may pull clear down and possibly backfire once (twice at the most) and then takes off and runs good for 10 or 15 minutes and starts all over.
Fuel cap is loose. Good flow of fuel to carb. Carb rebuilt. All new ignition parts including coil, condenser, points, cap, rotor, wires, plugs.
My question is...I am leaning towards the condenser or the coil, and per the replies so far it would lean that direction. I asked the guy to get new points and condenser as he had pitched the old ones. I will try them in a couple of days when I get back there and see, but if the coil is the issue, and is getting hot, I assume way too hot to touch? A coil gets warm anyway, but can you hold on to it if it is good, and can't touch it if it is bad and getting hot? How hot is hot, I guess I am trying to figure out.
Thanks again for the good replies, I will post back on progress. Bob

It was a cold Thanksgiving evening, and we were going up to her Grandparents house. As we passed one of their barns, I noticed something orange in the corner of my eye in this old shed.
