Morning, Hey Chris that undercarriage looks just like the belvederes, all the parts covered with the farmers cosmoline, oil and dirt!
Yeah. It's got a real thick undercoating on it too. I'm thoroughly surprised it's frame is not full of holes.
 
Honestly, it appears that the rails in in better shape than my darts :wtf:
 

I think I have a pic of that above. It looks like a external lock ring. Sorry, It's been decades since I had a Tflite apart. If it has a snap ring with holes you will need some pliers for that. Internal,external, and different tip sizes. The universal pliers with the replacable tips aren't too handy.

I don't recall if it has holes or not. Been a decade myself since I tried getting one apart.
 
An old friend had no use for the tax man. “Ten dollar haircut,59 cent head”
Property tax asessor showed up and ol mort marched him right off his property.
I miss that guy. He was a good man.

Probably had a still in the back. LOL
 
I just got hooked up with a bunch of those "commercial" Totes stores reuse, around half the size of the normal ones, Everything got soaked there last year and all the dist got flash rusted, absolutely sucked, not this year!
 
I will ID it all and bring the Studebaker and Chrysler stuff to Carlisle, had a lot of asks for old ignition parts last year.
And condensers should be worth a bit more. Most of the new stuff is junk. The new points aren't too bad. Well, You know! LOL
 
Hey hoppy. You mentioned that the ohms are different between points and electronic. I'm wondering if that might just be the problem on the John Deere model 60..... we couldn't locate a coil for it anywhere and ended up just putting a universal 12 v cool on it.....

Man I have no Idea what happened with condensors, I test each one now to make sure they are good, when I first started this I bought some Airtek from rock auto more than half failed. Even the new standard ones are junk, the points are iffy, yes they work but the spring tension sucks and float around 4k rpm. I try to get whatever I can NOS or OSS

Could be, The coil you have in the car is a points one, tractor have a book on it it should be in there Primary and secondary coil resistance, could be? Hey check the condenser also for a short!
 
OK engineereese!
Basically the function of a condenser in a coil ignition circuit is to reduce the spark at the contact points as they open in the distributor and thus minimise burning and pitting of the points. Arcing is caused by the effect of self induction in the coil as the points interrupt the flow of current. The resultant collapse of the magnetic field produces a high voltage to be generated in the primary winding which then tends to flow across the points, thus causing burning or pitting. This current flows into the condenser and charges it as the points open the rapid collapse of the magnetic field produces this high voltage in the primary windings, which can be as high as 250 volts. This further charges the condenser and the consequent collapse of the field causes a high voltage to be induced in every turn of both primary and secondary windings. As the secondary winding has about 100 times the number of turns of the primary, the voltage can reach as high as 25000 volts. Normally this voltage is not reached as it is limited by various factors such as point gap, compression, engine revs. Etc. so only sufficient voltage is produced to produce a spark at the plug. As the spark is produced at the plug gap the energy in the coil, stored in the form of magnetic flux, begins to drain from the coil through the secondary circuit thus sustaining the spark for a fraction of a second or several degrees of crankshaft revolution. During this interval the condenser discharges back through the primary winding producing an oscillation of the current flow in the primary circuit for the brief interval that is required for the primary circuit to return to a state of equilibrium. The condenser DOES NOT DISCHARGE UNTIL AFTER the spark has occurred at the spark plug.

Burning of points results from high voltage, presence of oil or other material at the points, defective condenser or too small a gap in the points. High voltage can be caused from high voltage setting of the regulator or high resistance in the charging circuit or the third brush set too high. On third brush generators too small a gap at the points allows the points to stay closed longer resulting in the average current being high enough to allow the points to burn rapidly.

For the rest of us
Prevents arcing/pitting of the points.
 
Ha HA HA! A low-life was stealing Christmas decorations from a cemetery in a nearby town. A couple guys put up a trail cam and caught the piece of ****! Ha Ha Ha!
