I have a 1956 Ford 600 tractor. I had it rebuilt 8-10 years ago. It has ran great since. I was plowing snow the other day, and it started acting like it wasn't running full power. It had a different sound in the muffler. Less power too. It seems to have good spark. I took the coil wire off at the distributor and there is a lot of spark. I take one plug wire off at a time at the plugs and it dies down. I changed the plugs and re-gapped them. I try to check the coil Ohms but I'm not getting anything, but like I mentioned I seem to have a lot of spark. I looked at the points and used an emery file and just lightly touched them up. I was going to buy a new coil and set of wires for it, but the guy at the parts store said I wouldn't just buy a lot of parts, get a Mechanic out to look at it. That is easier said than done these days. Any suggestions from people who have had this same situation? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
