Hello everyone. Thank you in advance for any and all help.
I have been reading around the internet and havent been able to find a problem that matches mine exactly.
Back story/ history is as follows.
Tractor is an 8n that belongs to my father. front mount dizzy and a 12 volt conversion with 3 wire alt. 2 days ago I completely rewired the tractor (12awg) on everything. I used a new ballast resistor and ignition switch as well as new plugs and wires. I am told that kid up the road replaced the dizzy a few weeks ago(not sure if just the cap or the entire assembly). After I finished the wiring, the tractor fired right up so I drove it down the driveway and back up( about 1/4mile total). I then hooked up the brush hog ....engaged the PTO..... and as I released the clutch she started to bog. I drove across the lawn in a pass that was already mowed and she was extremely boggy and ran like garbage. I came to a stop and shut er off to think for a moment. When I tried to start her back up, she wouldnt come to life. I pulled #4 plug wire and stuck a big Phillips in it and held it on a ground and to my suprise...... no spark. So I let her sit and left for the day. I had my father attempt to start it the next day and shur enough she fired to life.
Sorry for the novel but I want to provide enough information to help anyone willing to help me.
