Jim WI- The gimmick on that resistor is based on that you flip on the switch and hit the starter button. That ceramic clad nichrome wire resistor takes a minute or so to heat up and limit the applied voltage & current. 'Till it does, the coil is getting full power and the spark plugs are getting big time power, during the first minute or so and during engine warm up. Real clever and real effective... Cars and trucks used a separate full battery power feed circuit during cranking, that soon as you let the key switch go from crank to run the coil got power only thru the resisitor. Someplace in there the ceramic resistor design was replaced by just using nichrome wire, instead of copper, in the wire harness between the switch and the coil. Be thankful for the GM HEI electronic ignition system, that came out around 1974, and has been replaced by the computer stuff now. That module and coil can be adapted to many systems, as long as it has a magnetic trigger wheel and pickup. Hope this post helps comprehension. IHank

For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
