If you plan on working on it yourself, learn all you can about it before starting to take things apart. You've come to the right place. Any pictures? Here's a before and after which shows that one can live again.

Re: introduction of alton001
Welcome! Like others have said, theres lots of help and advice here.Before you start tearing her apart, I suggest you download or buy the operators and parts manuals and study them. Check both Rudi"s Manuals and the PDF Manuals at the top of the page. I've found the IH Parts Manuals very helpful, the blow apart diagrams really help, and they are great for figuring out what bolt goes where or what size do I need. Don't be afraid to ask questions, no one will think you are stupid and we all have our CRS moments 
Good Luck and keep us posted. John

Re: introduction of alton001
Welcome. We love a new project. If she has been sitting for 30 years, you will need to prime the pump before you try to start her.

Re: introduction of alton001
Thinks fellows. I have some work ahead. I need a few things.
1) I need a good, clear view of the points and distributor cap
2) where is a good place to purchase parts?

Re: introduction of alton001
Go to the bottom of the page, click on TM Tractor Parts. At their website, click on new parts, then electrical. They have good pictures of both the cap and points. They are a good source for parts, although they do not carry everything you will need. For used parts, place a "wanted" in the Vine forum or check with JP Tractor Salvage. TM and JP are both forum sponsors and will take good care of you.

Re: introduction of alton001
You'll have either a J-4 magneto (most likely): http://www.tmtractor.com/tm-tractor/gel/j4mag_001.htm
or a distributor: http://www.tmtractor.com/tm-tractor/gel ... or_001.htm
