[Farmall] Farmall C question

[E. John Puckett]

Not real familiar with a C, but on most of the old Ih tractors the ignition 
power went through a fuse.  Might check it.

Did you check for a spark at the tower on the coil, or only after the 
distributor cap.  If you have a spark at the coil but not at the plugs you may 
have a bad rotor, cap, or wires.  If no spark at the coil then check for voltage 
at the coil.  Get a test light or voltmeter and see where the voltage is being 
lost to the coil.  With the ignition switch on you should see voltage at the + 
terminal of the coil, and voltage pulsing at the - side as the points open and 
close.
