I bought this for my 651 Workmaster. Being a child of the '80s, I never owned a car with points (not even my '72 Duster had them, though I can't remember if it had electronic ignition from the factory or if someone converted it when they swapped engines). I never set points in my life, so when my step-father gave me his tractor that he had owned for 42 years, I had very little knowledge about the ignition of a tractor that he had owned 4 years before I was born, let alone something that was new when Ike was still President.When he gave it to me, he had bought a new tractor and this one wasn't running well. I spent a lot of time trouble shooting and found that I was getting weak spark. I bought a points kit from the local dealer (plus a cap, rotor, plugs and wires) and put them in, but I just could not get it to run any better and at times not at all no matter how many times I tried to set the points by the manual, what the local dealer had told me and what I found online. It had also been converted to 12 volts a few years ago. I finally decided to take the leap and by this.I ordered these on a Friday and had them Saturday with Amazon Prime. I also bought this coil because it didn't know what one I had: had both installed in about 30 minutes and what a difference! It starts much fast then it used to and the spark is bright!I would highly recommend this if you have issues with points. I know there are some hard core tractor guys out there that would turn their nose up at electronic ignitors, but I wish I had done this sooner! The instructions were well written, but I did find a online video that Pertronix put out that showed how they went in just to make sure that I did it right. Save your old points and parts, you may need them someday and there is no modification to the distributor, so you can go back.

I ordered the Pantronix ignition through Amazon. When it came it only was in a padded envelope! The Pantronix box containing the electronics was crushed down in areas. Very poor packaging for such a expensive and delicate part. My only worry is, I hope it did not do any damage and shorten the life of it. It works well at this time, but I don't use the tractor a lot, so time will tell.Make sure you read the instructions! You can't use solid copper spark plug wires with this!!! Also, make sure you have the correct coil!! NOTE: You need a full 12 volts feeding this unit, and make sure there is not a resister in the line! I had a resister so I bypassed it. I also had to order a new 3 ohm coil, and I had to order plug wires. Works great, fires right up, better throttle response.

This thing is great just hit the start button and the tractor is running. And no more cold nature . I wish I had got this years ago. Just get the Flame thrower coil to go with it.

My Brother in Law installed this on my 8N (12 Volt negative ground). Works great. Points work but are fiddly to set up and can go out of adjustment. This makes things simple and the tractor seems to work more reliably, easier start on first try.We added a rubber washer between the magnet ring and the rotor to make sure the magnet did not float up the shaft - but I don't think it is really necessary. Also, the company warns you not to leave they power on for a long time without the engine running but on an 8N I have a knife disconnect and key. Matched with a Pertronix 28010 Flame Thrower Coil this gives me a feeling of confidence that the spark will be there.

1950 8N with a Sherman Trans, coupled with 3ohm 40,000V coil from the same maker. Machine fires and idles smoothly with half a push of the starter. Very impressed, able to idle the machine down very low and still a smooth idle. If it lasts, I'll never mess with points again. I believe many of the failures I've read on this may be related to ignition being left on and machine not running.I installed a dash LED from Amazon on my machine when rewiring with a new 12V harness in a already present dash hole from someone else. Ground LED black wire... LED positive to wiring that is hot only when key is on(tractor dependent). Very simple install. Then, you know your 8N is ready to roll when red LED turns on. Machine off, keys out of the ignition, light off.

I noticed the difference in the starting of the motor and it does run better. The company who makes this has a very easy web site to navigate and if you don`t find your motor they tell you to phone their technications and they will help you. Everything fit exactly in the old distributor.And it comes with easy to follow instructions.

Tracteur 1950 Ford 8n , le roulement du moteur est beaucoup plus doux , quand on engage la transmission le moteur réagit plus facilement et plus rapidement .

Excellent product, easy install with help from YouTube. Getting rid of the points was the best thing I could have done for this 1954 Ford Tractor. The difference now is massive, fast starting, better idling, better starting in cold weather.
