markseven 8 #1 Posted Monday at 11:49 AM I have this Bronco 14 the k321 and the points are behind the flywheel I believe I don't know if it's an actual set of points or it's just a module still does run good but I'm thinking I'd like to convert it over where you put the points where they would normally go external engine up by the carburetor low left how hard is this to do. And who would have the parts ? Coil points condenser cover for point etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 61,288 #2 Posted Monday at 12:06 PM Your Bronco probably has the electronic ignition with a trigger under the flywheel. Here is a thread that should give the information you need. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 73,906 #3 Posted Monday at 12:30 PM I'm curious to know why we would want to change the ignition? Does the tractor run? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 18,839 #4 Posted Monday at 12:36 PM The Kohler Breakerless ignition system that you have either works well or not at all. If it is workring it has advantages over the Battery points system. No points to corrode or need adjusting... timing is perfect... I would leave it alone, it may run for years...if it does die then convert. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm with Paul above. The system you have is from the early days of electronic ignition, if you will. It's a very good reliable system while it's working. The most I would do for that system is to remove the engine shrouds and clean everything. Points are simple. Yes. And also reliable. Yes. But the system you have is at least as good. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maz91 277 #7 Posted Monday at 01:53 PM I’ve seen this before.. You tube “How-To Convert Kohler Breakerless Ignition System to Breaker Points Ignition System | Kohler Engine” by isavetractors. In the video he says like the others here to do the conversion if the factory ignition fails. There is also a fair amount of parts involved and isavetractors is no longer in business so the cost and availability are worth considering. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Parts availability is still perfectly fine and his prices were nothing special. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kpinnc 15,143 #10 Posted Monday at 05:57 PM Mine still works. If it ever quits, you can convert to points from the outside. The pin hole for the points push rod is plugged but easily removed. New keyswitch, coil, points, and cables. Easy but not cheap fix. You basically have to rewire the whole thing. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Parts availability is still perfectly fine and his prices were nothing special. Yea it was a ransomeware attack on his third party warehouse/shipper. I was really just pointing out the how-to video that I’d seen before. and since it requires multiple parts the cost may be something to consider. He plugs them in the video so figured I’d mention that isavetractors is closed before he went trying to find them there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
markseven 8 #13 Posted Tuesday at 02:02 AM Does my bronco 14 have the voltage rectifier external or is that behind the flywheel next to the stator Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

May be mounted behind the dash tower. If not it's mounted on the engine tins. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
