I've have the distributor cap modified, so that it now has a conventional coil terminal (high voltage). This checks out on the bench, but I have yet to put it on the tractor. I cut the bottom off the old square coil and gutted out the remaining case---these homemade parts allow for capping off the distributor, and holding them in place with the wire bale. I drilled a hole through my homemade top plate, and ran a wire lead from the distributor, which will allow connecting the positive coil wire (low voltage).
Making up these parts has been labor intensive, but I think it will work, and let me go to a conventional 12v round coil.
Round coil will mount just behind the engine block, in a special bracket---I'll run an extra long coil wire in a section of PVC pipe, which is fastened to the existing spark plug wire conduit.
I'm in no hurry, and have much work to do. I'm also completely repainting---got 'er almost all scraped and sanded.

Jon called me to help him discover why his tractor wouldn't start
