I'm picking up a 1993 John Deere 425, I'm told that it only has spark on one cylinder, the dealer ship (non deere) says it's the coil, but from what I read the module or igniter is a problem on these tractors,

Is there a Way to test this to see which is the problem ??

By the way, anyone have a sales brochure on these 425's they could scan?
I suppose you could try switching the left and right ignition coils and see if the non-firing cylinder switches sides.

If it is, used ignition coils go for about $20 on eBay.
Todd I have a brochure it isn't specifically for the 425, but the 4x5 series is in there. It's to large to post here, but if you PM me your email address I'll try to send it to you.
Yes I was going to try the coils switching, but does anyone know if the delay goes bad does it affect 1 or Both cylinders ??
Couldn't tell you if the delay module goes out one side at a time, but it seems to be a pretty cheap part to try out ($19 new) if the ignition coil switching doesn't pan out.
As some of you know, I have been working on a 1972 K241 from a 1972 110 to put in a 1973 110. My question is, the good engine has been sitting for a few years. The intake port has some rust in it, nothing on the valve, just the cast port. Also I pulled the spark plug and a leaf or two fell into the bore.... my bad. It turns over good and builds compression. Should I pull the head and pan and check things or leave it sealed and run it? I just want to do what is best and I tend to think the rings are formed to the cylinder and if I were to rering it maybe its not the best idea. Obviously if I put it in and it smoked real bad, Id be pulling it back out.
