We're Screwed. Obsolete Ignition Fried! What Do We Do Now??

Slippers went to pull out his old 1969 Sears Custom 10XL for a local tractor show when Junior done fried his ignition coil! Now what will he do in order to get this thing running again? That ignition system is obsolete and hard to find. Even if you do find one you're not guaranteed it's going to work or hold up.
Luckily for Slippers, Dale over at Overnight Solutions has a solution! He offers an ignition kit that will take the place of that old coil. Taryl's gonna show Slippers and y'all at home just what it takes in order to get this thing goin again. Bringing back that old technology when options are limited. Be sure to subscribe to the channel for all the latest videos. And as always... There's Your Dinner!!
Contact Dale over at Overnight Solutions for more info regarding the HET module and kit.

You boys are lucky to have a Dad like that. Happy Father’s Day Taryl.

[@Shawnee.Hills.Small.Engine]

It's great to see the 10XL again Slippers. And Taryl, I totally agree with your definition of a good auto parts store.

[@larrycroft470]

I love watching the talented Dactyl family on Sunday !!!! Another great production fellas!!!!

[@chrisbrown7362]

It's like watching the Sinclair's. "Not the Mama!"

[@flash21502]

I'd be tempted to either paint the coil red or white, or cover it with a chrome cover. That blue coil is like a stain on an otherwise beautiful tractor!

[@donmoore7785]

So the original tractor had a solid state ignition? That surprised me. Interesting seeing a coil used to save a vintage tractor because solid state is NLA.

Beautiful restore job on that 10XL.

[@patjohnson3100]

Great professional repair that really befits that nicely restored Sears tractor. Good demonstration of knowledge and skill. Always look forward to your videos. I guess Junior should stick to sweeping the floor.

[@joejohnson7097]

Enjoy watching you repair the equipment hope you had a great Father's Day thanks for the video

[@GHOOGLEMALE]

Man look at that gorgeous little tractor!

[@brentsmith5647]

Love watching the videos really gives me the giggles

[@singncarpenter6270]

I have a couple of old antique pieces of equipment. A DR wood chipper with a 12 horse single cylinder Tecumish on it and a 2004 Scrub Cadet LT 2042 with a Kohler engine and shaft drive. They aren't really antiques, they're what I use to maintain my place. The deck on the scrub cadet needs welding, Tecumish stopped making spark while I was running it last time, so thanks for this video. It's probably going to come in handy.

[@rodm5830]

I have the exact same mower with no spark. Gonna get ahold of Dale at overnight. Thanks a bunch for the video.

I am gonna have to check them out. I've got an 8hp vertical shaft that dies after it gets hot. It starts OK when cold. Thanks Taryl!

Thanks for showing the crimp tool, Im going to buy myself one of those for Christmas. I have one of those tractors, so Im going to look up your buddy Dale. Nice piece Slippers. Good job on the wiring Taryl.

That's the exact coil that came off my 74 VW bug 🙂

[@craigcoe5332]

It's seems like it has hotter spark and gives the tractor more torque and speed. Great job guys.

[@jimbrewer2893]

It's been many years since school, but if I remember, solid state systems produce around 20,000 volts while standard coils produce around 30.000. Hence the hotter spark. There are advantages and disadvantages to both systems.

[@patrickshaw8595]

@@jimbrewer2893 It's not quite that simple.

[@jimbrewer2893]

@@patrickshaw8595 I was just talking basics. Of course it's not that simple.

[@patrickshaw8595]

@@jimbrewer2893 Farrraday documented and then wrote the formulas for the "flyback effect" of a magnetic field when the circuit that was creating that field is instantly halted. If you get creative to maximize the effect with two separate coils of wire that's the classical magneto or battery coil system with mechanical contact points. The voltage available is theoretically INFINITE in any such system. Skip now to what you are trying to accomplish with such a system- jump a spark gap. Doing it while the gap is inside a pretty fair vacuum and also while same gap is inside couple-three hundred PSI is not too demanding nowadays we got good insulation to keep that voltage from going anywhere except the gap. There's always gasoline or propane or something mixed in with the air. If it's mixed real thinly (lean) then a big gap and a long spark duration are very helpful. If the plug is sooty or wet then making the voltage at the gap jump up so fast it goes across the sooty wet surface and across the gap and still starts the engine. Battery-and-coil builds up slowest - a good magneto is pretty good at it - and best of all is CD capacitive-discharge ignition which is why it gets used in two-cycles, outboards and the like - most beneficial when starting. There - now you know just as much as i do on the subject.

[@MrTheHillfolk]

@@patrickshaw8595 It's fun to see guys change out ignition parts from a "yellow" spark. Using a real spark tester, don't worry about color. That's from some crazy 💩 burning ions out of the air or something 🤣 Can it jump the spark testers gap is the main question. These ol dogs don't need much spark to run,and the timings fixed. After all these years now Briggs has an electronically advancing ignition on the newer bigger engines ,and it's given them a bunch of power.

[@donaldfranklinjr7087]

Great video 👍

[@Mike-rf3kl]

No need to hide that coil it looks good That Ignition upgrade is better than the original I think anyone with the same setup would be wise to change to that system

[@NoWr2Run]

GREAT FIX, SIR.

[@DAS-Videos]

That is a nice looking tractor.

[@Guns_N_Gears]

I did something similar with a 1969 Bolens 1455. I made what is usually referred to as a "dirty" power supply. I hooked that up to pickup coil under flywheel, and hooked that up to an early 70's GM ignition module to fire ignition coil. Ignition module had to be mounted to an aluminum plate for cooling itself. Just cut a 3x3 square and attached it to blower shroud. I also added a wire with a diode to the "start" on the original key switch so engine would have spark during cranking. Years ago I drew a diagram for Bolens, it should be floating around the internet somewhere. Best tip I can add to this is, pay attention to where 12v is going cause you can, and will burn shit up IF not done right, and think things through.

[@patrickshaw8595]

Excellent. HEI came out on GM cars in '75 and I think I did my first HEI conversion on one of these about '77 or '78. You might have beat me to it. However I figured out by about '93 that "everything except the distributor" from an '88 5.0 Mustang worked really really nice and trouble free.

[@Guns_N_Gears]

@@patrickshaw8595 Yes, they work fabulous! Keep in mind, the reason for using the early module was the early GM ignition did not use any computer control. God bless

[@meegstomtom]

Those overnight solution kits work well. I've had sears with the Tecumseh engines for a long time. Fortunately only one ignition ever failed.

[@GuysPlayingWithTools]

Just looking at the condition of it, at that age... wow. I can only imagine the amount of work that took

[@cujoedaman]

All I could picture is the scene from Back To The Future III when Doc wires up a new time circuit using 1955 parts and the thing is just strapped to the hood of the car :D
