Farm Tractor Page
Our ignitions are unique in several ways:
We now have two options for tractors...
- Optical light triggers - no magnets!
- 3 individual sparks for superior efficiency
- No moving timing parts to wear out
- Made in the USA
- Fully programmable
We now have two options for tractors...
- Conversions for Delco, Farmall, Autolite, Prestolite, Mallory, and Holley distributors. Kits come with ignition, mounting kit, multi spark coils and wires. Distributor appears stock from the outside. NO external boxes needed.
- C5 PRO kit is a completely new distributor. It fits engines that can accept the magneto style distributors such as John Deere twins, Allis Chalmers, Farmall, Oliver, and others. The kits come with distributor, ignition, coils, and wire set.
Our C5 PRO kit is the first new change in tractor ignition technology in over 50 years!
Fits John Deere twin, Farmall C/H/M, Allis Chalmers WC/WD/D17, and other engines that accept the old magneto base.
**See chart below**
C5 PRO kit - Key Features:
- Twin sealed bearings - Improved durability over bushings

- Multiple Spark ignition fires 3 times per stroke at all rpm
- Four timing maps to select from, even while driving
- Fully programmable with optional kit
- Twin Optical Beam timing tracks crank rotation 180 times per revolution!
- NO EXTERNAL CONTROL BOXES NEEDED

C5 PRO Safety Switch
Get rid of that loose, cheap, home built safety switch. Why?
Vibration during pulls can cycle the power on/off many times per second which can cause electronic failures and coil misfire. An unreliable switch is dangerous!
Our new C5 PRO Safety Switch includes:
-Automotive grade sealed ball switch rated at 5 amp max.
-Solid billet Aluminum construction
-Aluminum clamp allows mounting in any position
-Spring ball pin with split ring
-Comes with 6 feet of wiring and connector
Switch has a 36 month warranty. Picture may differ slightly from actual product.

- C5 users please order first option which completes the circuit when pin is in place and cuts power to the ignition when the pin is pulled (called a Normally Open switch).
- If you wish to use this to ground the circuit when the pin is pulled out, such as when grounding a coil, then order the second option (called a Normally Closed switch).
We are a proud sponsor of Pulling for the Cure!

| cd3_with_mc1_or_mc2_coils.pdf |
As of late March 2017 the six cylinder CD ignition will now have different wire colors.
This is because 6 and 8 cylinder engines will both use the CD-4 module which can handle up to 4 coils.
The new colors are as listed:
Sensor 1 is now Grey instead of Blue.
Sensor 2 is now Pink instead of Brown.
Coil trigger 1 is now Blue instead of Yellow
Coil trigger 2 is still White
Coil trigger 3 is still Black
The Brown wire will not be used on 6 cylinder engines and should be cut off.
See wire diagram shown below.
