Built for Classic John Deere Iron

This point set serves the heart of vintage John Deere tractors—those sturdy machines from the era when distributors controlled ignition timing. Whether you’re running an unstyled A that’s been in the family for generations, a reliable B that still earns its keep around the farm, or any of the other classic models from John Deere’s golden age, proper ignition points are what turn fuel into power when you need it most.

Made to Last

These points are built for the demanding life of farm equipment. The contact surfaces resist pitting and burning from repeated arcing, while the spring mechanism maintains consistent pressure for accurate timing. Manufactured by Tisco to replace original factory specifications, they’re designed to handle the electrical demands of vintage ignition systems that have to work reliably in all kinds of weather and conditions.

Installation Notes

Point replacement is straightforward for anyone familiar with distributor maintenance. Set the gap to your tractor’s specifications—usually around 0.016 inches—and make sure the contact surfaces are clean and properly aligned. A quick tip: while you’ve got the distributor cap off, it’s a good time to check your condenser and rotor too, since these components work together to keep your ignition system running strong.
