Oops, yeah, I was assuming a neg ground in my earlier post about clipping the center coil wire down for a test. Just get it close to a good ground and forget about the distributor bolt and you should be O.K. The spark will be easier to see if it's dusk but, even if sunny, in a good shadow it's pretty easily seen. If it's a system that's been converted to 12V and you have an external resistor just before the coil, I posted a solution to a similar problem I had a couple of weeks ago. Similarly, after five minutes or so, it'd start running rough, stall out, be unable to start. Let it cool down, it'd restart. I tried leaving the battery connected with the kill switch in the 'run' position without the engine running. I left it that way for about five minutes and, even though the rest of the system was cool, it wouldn't start. The resistor had heated up and was the problem. I replaced both the resistor and the coil with a 12V coil with a built-in resistor (3 ohms resistance) and haven't had a problem since. Again, I'd be curious to hear what the solution proves to be so let us know.

Tractor Hydraulics - The Basics - by Curtis Von Fange. Hydraulics was one of the greatest inventions for helping man compound the work he can do. It’s amazing how a little floor jack can lift tons and tons of weight with just the flick of a handle. What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package. This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
