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 seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
