Dad and I have a 1950 WD in Omaha (it was my granddads so has sentimental value), that does not get used much. I made a snow blade for it, which replaces the bucket on the loader for snow removal, so this is the majority of what it gets asked to do. Today I was going to start it and install the snow blade, but it had no spark. It has been converted to 12 volt, so I began checking my power. Had 12 volt everywhere except after the ignition coil resister-it read 2 volts with the points open. Remember, this resister is not stock to this tractor, so took it along to the parts store.

Then she needs to know what the part is called-my wording did not match her computer, so it finally was decided it was a dealer part.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
