[Farmall] H Ignition issue

[Jim Becker]

That is almost certain to be the fix.  Have you checked the spark 
immediately after it quits?  If doing that shows a very weak or no spark, it 
would confirm an ignition problem.  There is a small chance the condenser is 
causing the problem.  Take your pick which to try first, the cheap less 
likely fix or the more expensive more likely fix.

You didn't say if you have a magneto or battery ignition.  If it is magneto, 
I'd probably try the condenser first as those coils cost a lot more than 
battery ignition coils.

My Dads 1945 H did the same thing,It had the normal battery ignition, I 
replaced the coil and it never happenened again. Same symptoms ran great 
then would just quit.I would try that first.

I have a really nice H that runs great with one exception.  I will be
orking it in the field, and suddenly it will kill, just like you pushed in
he ignition switch.  It will not start again until it sits for an hour or
o, then it fires right up and runs fine again.  It has done this for the
ast couple of years.  I believe it is an electrical issue rather than a
uel issue, as  it stops so abruptly, and choking it has no effect.
    Are there any theories out there as to what the problem could be?
