I am trying to find the correct part number for the coil, condensor and points for my JD 440 Gas Dozer.
I replaced my Radiator and solved the cooling problem. Now I cannot seem to get it to start correctly. I had a local mechanic replace the fuel line, filter, and coil, condensor and points, He was able to run it with no problems, but when I made it down to run it, I could get it to start, but after about ten minutes, it died.
thanks for the response.

I'd check the wiring, starting switch, and connections before swapping out the ignition parts if they were replaced by your mechanic. Old wires hide problems and can be a PITA, but are not too expensive to replace or override in the testing process.
I had a nagging starting problem on my 420c last year that was resolved by replacing the 9" wire and connectors between the coil and distributor - less than $1.00 and a few minutes to do. Good luck . Paul
