How often do yo really replace points because they wore out? :bigthink:
It's not a lot of money granted, but I don't really think you gain much with it.

Yes I agree,but it does have a flashing light!!!

Most of the 'dedicated Pullers' all have them. They swear by them as a must have.

I've only ever replaced two sets of points on all the cubs I've bought/sold/owned. But you never really know when they will go bad so can't hurt to upgrade.

I installed mine awhile back & it's just chugging along just fine.:beerchug:

Little gizmos like the point saver makes logical sence? Yes vs. no? Can't hurt?

Back in (yikes) 1978 I added a electronic ignition on my 1970 Buick skylark. A box that was aprox., 6" x 6" x 2" that was supposed to do the same thing as the point saver in question. Even back then it did its job. So adding a point saver to dedicated points can't hurt?????:bigthink:

If my memory serves me the condensor gets taken out of the equasion as well. I have a point saver setup in the basement and will be installing it on something in the spring as well as the bosch blue coil.

when I got my 128 the points were bad and no connection . I take a point file and rub or file some silver solder or silver , this coats the steel some ,then file the points and check with a ohm meter ,it has been firing up fine for 4-5 years now

The little flashing light on the points saver works really well timing your tractor , especially for us older guys that do not see as good as they used to , and can't crawl around their tractors like they used to do !!!!!!

I like mine a lot , especially when I bring home a new tractor. I mount it where I can see the light flash when I am timing it. For the most part , I am a one man show when I work on my tractors and every shortcut helps.
