I am going to ask a different question: Do you have no spark, or no combustion. To say "no spark" has lead us to give you information on getting spark. (having successful ignition is very different) Put a different spark plug into the #3 spark plug wire, and hold its metal shell against the block. Start the tractor and see if there is spark at the gap of this plug. If there is, it is not a spark issue, it is a combustion issur, and you can stop working on the ignition. If your timing light does not work when it is connected to #3, and you think that is the definition of no spark you might be mistaken. A shorted sparkplug will reduce the voltage to very low numbers and cause the timing light to fail to trigger. Before we go farther, check the actual spark as above. If it does spark. change the plug and see what happens. If that does notr work let us know, and we will go to the next step. JimN
