    Mystery Part when changing clutch

    Thanks I wondered if that was a possibility the previous owner changed the starter, i'm guessing he didn't worry about what fell into the bell housing.:thankyou:

    Mystery Part when changing clutch

    I just put a new clutch kit in my 1952 8n and found a mystery part in the bellhousing when i separated the tractor. it had been in there for quite a while from the looks of the sludge it was buried in. I am hoping one of you can tell me what it is.

    1952 8n charging issues

    Im pretty sure it is a 12 volt coil after doing some meter testing , I also think from the condition of the ammeter that it is probably the original. battery is brand new and voltage output at the alternator is 13.6

    1952 8n charging issues

    Thanks Tim I ordered the kit to do the conversion correctly. I should have realized there was an issue when the previous owner said " I cant figure out why the light bulbs keep blowing".
