[AT] never had that to happen before

[Mike Sloane]

Generally speaking (and I write that with my fingers crossed), the 
ignition components that you buy from the OEM dealer (Case IH, John 
Deere, New Holland, etc.) or a NAPA dealer will be OK. The ones you get 
from TSC/Valu-Bilt/etc. will be imported crap, sometimes defective right 
out of the box.

I have been "biting the bullet" and installing Pertronix ignition 
modules in the tractors that give me ignition problems. It is not a 
cheap solution (especially when you have a dozen tractors), but at least 
it eliminates one source of problems.
