I guess the previous owner of the blade must have jerry-rigged that setup. In order to make it right, I'll have to fabricate a new lift rod - the existing one is obviously too short. Anyhow, it's working now, so it'll have to wait for spring. Anyone have pix of where the rod attaches to the blade mount?

I got the 1450 running again - Thanks Art and Dave! I checked the voltage to the coil (good), the resistances between terminals on the coil (OK; thanks Roland B for the diagram), I replaced the ends on the wires to both + & - coil terminals. Then I checked the wire to the points to ensure no cracks that would cause shorts to ground before the points (it was OK). Finally, I removed the points and found the surface of the moveable contact had a significant build-up on it. (Or in Art's terms, it was "buggered up."
I replaced the points with a used set that came with a used engine block I bought a year ago and it fired right up. I suppose I should get a new set of points to keep on hand - that should guarantee I'll never need them!
By tomorrow night I should have the front blade on this tractor to complement the snowthrower on the 782. Life is good.

Greg,
Just think of it as insurance.
New parts seldom ever get used or needed unless they are in your shop and you are miles away from it when you need the part.
That will seem to happen every time something breaks and you have a new replacement part.

Ever seen a Harley pulled over for loud pipes?
My list of things with loud pipes is as long as things without. Both FARMALL's, the 72, the pickup all piped. Just My car & Wife's car, the 70 & 982 with mufflers.
I had bikes for years when I was younger. Inattentive car drivers endanger bike riders. What the bike has for an exhaust makes no difference now days I agree. After one too many close calls on the road I enjoyed trail riding for several years. Just got too expensive trying to keep parts hunted up for a 15 yr old Spanish enduro bike without any US distributors.

I do love the sound of an H D rolling by lol. had my time with cycles over the years. I would love to have a road king now, but the wife will not let me buy one so we put in a 24' pool instead.
Out in the shop I go to get the O ready for paint. Later Don T
