Leroy said: (quoted from post at 20:19:16 05/04/10) John T, does the coil have to be mounted to metal, grounded, on the tractor or engine or will it work if just hanging in midair like tied up with a string as in working on things and too hard to continue mount, take off and remount? Or to be remounted to a handier place but possibly mounted to like a piece of plastic that would not be a conductor?
I'm not John, Leroy, but no your coil does not need to be mounted to metal, all electrical windings inside are isolated from the housing. If it is heat that you are concerned with, not to worry, as when run hard on a warm day there isn't anything around the engine or attached to it that you can hold your hand on (unless your superman, 140 to 150 degrees is about all you can stay on). Set your coil on the work bench, connect to a power supply, set current to 3 amps and come back in 3 hours and pick up your coil,,,,it won't take you long to "feel" of the 200 degree can! Between the coil generated heat & the engine heat/surrounding heat, close to 200 is where it normally runs. It is designed for it, stop worrying.

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
