I thought maybe @teddy52food the mag guy would chime in here maybe he was busy deer hunting. There is an internal wire that goes to the coil from the points that I think has to be disconnected when an external battery coil is used. I think it might be no. 49 in the linked diagram. Messicks Farmall A mag diagramHello,
So I finally got the Farmall A i to my shop. Removed the secondary coil. Ordered new distributor cap, rotor button, coil and points. Took the distributor cap off, and the new one is not the same. Not is the rotor button. So going to try with the old ones. However, I have some questions about connections.
I have a shop manual ordered, be a coupke days before it gets here.
I have 3 wires. One from the condenser, not sure where it hooks to. One from a switch (brown) im assuming is for grounding out the magneto, and this black one that goes from where it's connected to the coil I took off. Can anyone tell me where to hook these up? Thank you
I am not that good on mags.
Just FYI, that link to the Messicks online parts catalog will allow you to see all the parts diagrams for your tractor by selecting different categories and diagrams.
