Hi, Anyone have some expertises on the electrical side of a mid '70's Cub lo-Boy 154? The tractor had been running fine all winter - went out two weeks ago will not start and it didn't sound like it was firing. I checked the positive side of the coil and sure enough it was dead. Replaced the coil and it was still dead on the positive pole. I ended up opening the dash area and repairing three different wires that were grounding on the frame, steering column, and another wire. I replace a burnt fuse and returned the new coil to the auto parts store thinking the coil was not the problem. Now I put a test light on the positive side of my old coil and have power on the positive post w/ the key on. Without the clutch depress the engine will not turn over - as it should. Depress the clutch and the engine turns over - that tells me the clutch safety switch is working correctly (right). I have an inline spark plug test light that I placed between the coil and the cap ... dead! I have tested the clutch safety switch, ignition switch, anything and everything that looks like it needs power running through it and all looks great! Why am I not getting power from the coil to the distributor cap - anyone?

The front end center pin bushing was worn also so I ask that they replace it if they had time. Well, that�s wha
