I have a Massey Ferguson 65 LP that won't start many of the parts are new. The spark plug won't make any sparks. Any suggestions what might be wrong?
 
Is this tractor a coil start or a magnento start. If its a magnento its probably gonna need rebuilt, if its a coil then u will have to be
walked through a testing procedure to pinpoint the exact problem. I will be checking for a reply and then i will help you out.
 
Need to do some diagnostics.

If you have a test light or volt meter, check for power at the + terminal of the coil with the ignition on.

If not, there could be a problem with the ignition switch, or wiring.

If power to the coil, check the points. Be sure they are adjusted properly. Move the test light or volt meter to the - side of the coil. With the ignition on, and the points open, there should be battery voltage on the - terminal. With the points closed, there should be no power on the - terminal.

Each time the points open there should be a good, hot, blue spark from the coil. Lay the coil wire about 1/2" from a metal grounded surface. It should jump the gap. Try this while cranking. If no spark while cranking, could be the battery is low/bad, dirty or loose cable connection, ignition switch is bad, starter is dragging.

Next check for spark at each plug. A good test is to take an old spark plug, break the electrode off, connect a plug wire and ground the metal part of the plug. The spark should jump from the center to the metal case, about 1/4". Try this with each plug wire. If there is spark at the coil, but not at the plugs, there is a problem with the cap/rotor, or plug wires.

Let us know...
 
Im gonna need an email. I dont want to keep searching for this question because im sure its going to be on the second page by the end of the
day.
