[Farmall] International A died (and I am baffled)

Jim, Mike, Charles, et al,  I found the ballast resister. It is back under the gas tank support.  I guess I was look for obvious spot.

Thanks

Larry

Jim,  Interesting.  Maybe there is a ballast resister I am not seeing.  And maybe I should take the external condenser off.  However, whatever the wiring, it has been working...well maybe, the points did burn out...perhaps for a reason beyond normal wear  There was some grease in the area,and I would think grease on points is not a good thing!

That may mean it is time to find a different electrical shop.

I'm unclear as to why the external condenser was added.  If the one is still 
inside the magneto, it would probably be closer to the right value alone 
than having 2 condensers would be.
