[Farmall] distributor cap 'H'

[Mike Sloane]

The easiest place for those items is your local NAPA affiliated auto 
parts store. That cap was used on most IH 4 cylinder (gas) tractors from 
about 1939 on. For the wires, just buy a generic "four cylinder" kit 
that has solid copper core wires and make them up using the existing 
wires for models.

If you don't have a NAPA store near you, there are dozens of on-line 
vendors out there. Aside from NAPA, the next best choice is a Case IH 
dealer. I happen to like dealing with I. Hoober (www.hoober.com> and 
Carter & Gruenwald <www.gnco.com> Both will ship UPS the next day if you 
give them plastic. Those three will be the best quality, but you will 
pay a little more. Unfortunately, a lot of electrical parts for tractors 
are being imported from the "third world" these days, and I have found 
the quality to be marginal at best.

I guess I should note that there were two different distributors used on 
some of the older H and M tractors - IH and Prestolite. The IH 
distributor was the most common. Having a parts manual for the tractor 
is a big help when ordering parts.
