I just got done fixing my ford 3000 tractor.I was mowing with it and it just died suddenly. Of course it was in the field away from the house so I had to get my tools and truck.I thought it was out of gas but that wasn"t it. Next I start checking for spark and there is none. So I change the points and condenser because they look burnt. again no go so I check the coil and it is good. It is getting late so pack up the tools. Next day I check the coil wire and the end is messed up. Fix that and I am thinking that must be it. Not the problem. So now I check the cap and rotor and they look good. Just when I am getting frustrated I look inside the cap again and am looking at the rotor. Then it hits me the piece of the rotor that contacts the coil wire is broken off. Such a simple thing but it took a lot of time to find. Put in a new rotor and it fires right up and purrs like a kitten. Sometime the simple things are the hardest to find. Rick
