Description
When your old IH tractor starts getting hard to start or starts missing under load, worn ignition points are usually the culprit. These little contacts handle the job of timing the spark that fires your cylinders, and when they get pitted or burned, your engine just won’t run like it should. This replacement set gets your distributor firing properly again and puts the reliable spark back in your ignition system.
What You’re Getting
- Precise .020-inch gap specification for proper spark timing and engine performance
- Quality contacts that resist burning and pitting for long service life
- Compatible with both distributor and J4 magneto ignition systems on 1951-1962 IH tractors
- Direct replacement design that installs using standard point setting procedures
Built for Classic Farm Work
These points fit the International Harvester tractors from 1951 through 1962, covering the era when IH was building some of their most reliable workhorses. Whether you’re running a utility tractor for loader work, a row-crop machine for cultivation, or a general-purpose tractor for hay and livestock operations, proper ignition timing is what keeps these dependable machines running strong decade after decade.
Made to Last
Farm tractors from this era were built to work, and their ignition components need to match that durability. These points use quality materials that resist the heat and electrical stress of constant operation. The contact surfaces stay clean longer and provide consistent spark timing through thousands of engine hours.
Installation Notes
Setting points takes a feeler gauge and a little patience, but it’s straightforward work that most folks can handle in the shop. Remember to set the gap at exactly .020 inches with the points at their widest opening. A quick tip: clean the new points with a bit of fine sandpaper before installation to remove any protective coating, and always check your timing after installation to make sure everything’s firing when it should.
