    No Spark Farmall C

    I forgot to ask, being the 6V battery never was getting a charge in the years I remember Dad running it, what purpose does it serve having it in the circuit because I know unfortunately it's been neglected and not charged in past 11yrs and hate to spend another $100 for a new one only to show...
