Bill I hope this find you on the mend. i know you said you had an older video to upload. So take care of yourself 🤒and don't worry about videos. We will wait.
I have a back up with electric unit installed but I’ll keep points and condenser because I got 11 sets for cheap, having extra dist is a plus for each tractor
You make some awesome videos!!! We have a 1960 861 powermaster. I've been learning a lot from your videos. I'm going to do this to it one of these days and see if that's problem.
That old girl doesn't look like she does much real work so what's the point of changing something that works really well? My 800 which gets a lot of work starts the first time every time with the old ignition system.
Solid old tractor, I have a 640 with 2500hrs still holds 40psi oil pressure and will do much more than you think, make sure to put grease on the advance weight under point plate, you have to put a spacer between to have remote takeoff
I'm new to your channel. It looks like you converted to a 12 volt system with negative ground. Is that correct? I'm planning on doing the same things to my 1959 841. Thank you for the information.
I installed the electronic ignition on my 641 a few months ago. It was great for awhile. That was January 13th. About a month ago it just died on me. So I put newpoints and condenser back in. Very frustrating. I probably only ran 20 or 30 hours and they burned out. I have hesitated with the electronic ignition upgrade for years. I was very excited to try them. Very hopeful and positive about it. I really want them to be a good system, but my experience is very poor. And I did upgrade to the three on Potter coil sorry that was not an issue. I’d love to hear other peoples experience about this. I do love the idea but at least it needs to last a handful of years to make it worth the money.
With the new system, you can also increase the plug gap some for even better engine performance.
Good work Bill! That tractor runs and sounds amazing. Definitely appears to have some more grunt with having a “modern” ignition system.

hope your feeling better bill we are all here for you
It's a great upgrade well worth the money seems I was always messing with the points even on a cold day it fires right up
Looks like you feeling better. That's great news Bill. Nice work and thanks for the video.

New subscriber you make excellent videos Sir

You can never go wrong converting to a breakerless ignition, even with a 6V or 8V system.
I hope that you are feeling better
It’s best to stuff toilet paper in dist to keep screws from falling in to dist

On our 800 do what I did now the fuel shut off is by the caborator now tank shut off we never it off any more unless we have to pull the tank off now.
Better find that noise soon. Asap
That clunk sounds like excessive backlash on your final drive.
Bill who is working in the cemetery right now is it the concrete guys Dillon or are you still working
I new they would never leave the area.
7:39 I’d leave all that stuff alone cause that Pertronix will die one day and you’ll need points again instead of spending another $100+ on a new one.

Ty. You cannot leave your key on without the tractor running. Fries them really fast. 12 years on the one on my d17. No issues
are you using stock plug wires? or does it need some different wires? part number please if you have it.
I use the standard plug wire unless the customer wonts them changed out
For the last 15 years and no problem with the plug wires
There’s no long crank anymore
Turns ccw
That sounds like the ring gear is loose.
Or hyd pump gear
What part number is the kit?
Steiner has them and Rachel has them
