Description

When your tractor starts running rough, misfiring, or won’t start at all in damp weather, chances are good that moisture and corrosion have gotten into your distributor cap. A cracked or worn cap lets in the dirt and water that can cause weak spark and unreliable ignition—problems that’ll have you walking back to the barn instead of driving. This replacement cap restores reliable ignition and gets your International back to running like it should.

What You’re Getting

Durable construction that keeps moisture and dirt out of your ignition system
Precise fit ensures proper spark timing for smooth engine operation
Quality terminals that provide solid electrical connections to your spark plug wires
Direct replacement design installs just like the original factory part

Built for Real Farm Work

This distributor cap is designed for International Harvester tractors with 4-cylinder engines, including many of the popular utility and row-crop models that handle everything from hay cutting to cultivation work. Whether you’re running a smaller utility tractor for barn chores or a mid-sized machine for field operations, keeping your ignition system in top shape means reliable starts and consistent power when you need it most.

Made to Last

Farm work is hard on ignition components, with constant exposure to dust, moisture, and temperature changes that can cause lesser parts to fail prematurely. This TISCO replacement cap is built to withstand the tough conditions that come with agricultural work, using materials that resist cracking and corrosion while maintaining proper electrical connections season after season.

Installation Notes

Before installing the new cap, clean the distributor housing thoroughly and inspect the rotor for wear or damage. The cap should fit snugly without forcing, and all spark plug wire connections should be tight and secure. If you’re replacing an old cap that’s been on for years, it’s a good idea to check your spark plug wires and rotor at the same time—they often wear together.
