I guess it all relies on the sentimental value of the tractor to rebuilt or not. For the points/condensors, etc... I would install a Pertronix elctronic ignition kit and throw away those points.
I installed a kit in my 1600, and I've had no problems with it since then. It only sees about 50-80 hoursa year right now. Mainly because it's a gasser and we really don't have to have it, but it's a family tractor. We use it in the spring for planting, and we run it on the blower. It sees a few chores very now & then, and goes on the manure spreader once in a while when the 285 is doing other stuff, like hay.
