    selling advice

    I want advice from you sellers. I'm a newby. Discovered a box of my dad's old owner's manuals, etc. from the 1930's through 1960's and would like to sell them. YT seems like a logical site. What's the best practice to get paid and not cheated? Can buyers bid? How do you handle shipping...

    starting problem

    My Ford 9N runs good after it finally starts, but usually it will fire once and then the starter 'spins' out and it will not continue firing. Sounds like a carb issue? Any ideas?

    no spark, hot resistor

    It looks like brand new. The only thing I noticed was the top plastic plate (under the top post) was loose - would wiggle a bit.

    no spark, hot resistor

    Bruce; sorry for the delay in reply, but I get to the shop only on weekends. If I did your test correctly on the bad coil the ohm reading at the pigtail went all the way to the right end of the meter - to almost zero. At the tab, the meter barely budged = stayed at the left end of meter near...

    no spark, hot resistor

    Sweet success!! Got Dad's old 9n started today! The problem was a bad coil. I didn't suspect because it was relatively new. Swapped for the crappy old coil and guess what - spark! After a few tries got her purring like a kitten! After church today I asked my 80 year old friend for his...

    no spark, hot resistor

    The ohms reading of the resistor is about .3 as you said it should be. The bad news is the coil voltage reads less than1volt again alternating with 6.3 even with the resistor jumped If there.is an internal short in the distributor how come it passes all four continuity tests. I'm still not...

    no spark, hot resistor

    Bruce, I will recheck the distributor internals but first I jumped the ballast resistor as you suggested. Except for being old and probably original mine looks like your picture and it's the only one. With the top posts jumped, voltage at the coil again is 6.3, but now goes to 3 volts as the...

    no spark, hot resistor

    Bruce, here's how my Sunday afternoon project went. The voltage reading at battery posts was 6.3. Voltage at the coil post to ground is also 6.3 with key on. Rolling the engine over the voltage drops to less than 1 volt. I keep wondering if something is connected backward. Thanks RPond

    Hydraulic outlet compatibility

    Hey, tractor experts. Are all makes of tractors compatible as far as hydraulic hose ends? Seems like I remember years ago that john Deere was different than some others.

    no spark, hot resistor

    Thanks, Bruce. I took the distributor back off and did the four continuity checks and passed them all. Put it back on the tractor and did the voltage test again. Same thing - battery's voltage alternating with no voltage as the crank rotates. Any other ideas. I put on a wiring harness, could I...

    no spark, hot resistor

    Finally got back into the shop today. Did the test light attached to the coil. Got blinking light as I rolled the crank. Still no start, so I tried the test with a meter instead of a light. With key on getting battery voltage with points open but no voltage at all with points closed. What...

    no spark, hot resistor

    I did that once without realizing what I had done, ' hey, that lamp blinked!! But, now can't remember how it was connected. Connect test light from the coil top stud to ground? Is that right?
  13. R

    no spark, hot resistor

    Yes, that resistor bolted to the back of the dash. My points open and close ok and the gap is right as good as I can tell. So, if I turn it over until points open then the hot resistor should cool back down? Is there a test to find out if the coil is bad?
  14. R

    no spark, hot resistor

    My 6 volt, positive ground 9n/2n with front mount distributor won't start - no spark. Continuity tests on distributor check out OK. I notice that with key turned on the resistor gets too hot to touch. I put in a new wiring harness, did I connect something wrong? Any other suggesstions?

    9n resistor block

    Thanks both Royce and Soundguy. I did the test light again while slowly rolling the engine over with the hand crank and the light DID flash on and off. But still no spark when I tried the starter. I removed the distributor and bench tested the four continuity tests that Bruce (VA) posted...
