Hey, thanks all. The local farm supply had a rebuild kit with
points, (and 20 mil gap tool) capacitor, rotor and four new spark
plugs for $20.

Any hints on setting the timing? I made some marks on the distributor
before taking it off... but I've never adjusted the timing.
(And I've had the tractor for going on 20 years.)

Thanks Jim, I've only got the "Dealer Shop Manual".

Hmm looks like I need to find which neighbor has a timing light
and wants a beer. :^)

No timing light required. a test light is helpful to static time but
I've done it for decades just watching for the spark. When the points
open, you get spark. If you can't see or hear the spark and don't have
a test light just grab the coil wire.

Yeah thanks. But I'm certainly not grabbin' any a 'dem wires.
I would have gone out today, but it was blowing and snowing
here.
