Replacing Points in a John Deere M Tractor | NO SPARK

This old John Deere M stopped running due to no spark. I checked spark with a spark plug tester off camera and had nothing. Looked at the old points and saw contact points were worn and should be replaced. Put the new ones in and fired right up!!!

We had a 1952(?)M in 1961 when my parents bought 8 acres in Troutdale, Oregon; plow, disk, sprayer old, old mower. Loved to operate.

Where did you get replacement points for it?

how do i get the old plugs out

[@milesclark6292]

they are old and really dont have a wrench that will fit up on them

Think I used a spark plug socket and that fit fine
