You’re a brave man to change out the points and condenser without putting down a piece of cardboard to catch those small screws in case they fell into the grass. Ya’ gotta have a steady hand. A lot of young tradespeople coming out of mechanics schools today wouldn’t have any idea what points, condensers or feeler gauges were....let alone how to install them. Great video....keep ‘em coming...Thanks...Mac
yeah I agree with you a lot of those kids nowadays have no clue what a set of points are or what they're for.it kind of saddens me that nowadays with mechanic work his plug it into a computer and then change the parts . for me the fun of fixing old tractors is trying to figure out what is wrong. there's no computers on Old tractors.
As long as those are actual Autolite plugs, not cheap knockoffs, I'd be glad that they came with the kit. Even if you don't use them in the 65, you'll use them eventually. Fake knockoffs of brand name parts such as spark plugs have become pretty common these days. The weirdest rebuild kit that I ever recieved was a "bottom end kit" for a Ford Windsor engine that didn't include rod and main bearings but did come with a new crank and rods.
Glad you got her going!.....However, when you were cranking the engine over there is at least one cylinder that has no, or low compression. You should address that problem before it hits the lot......Enjoyed the video!!
