    What's the average parts cost for an 8N overhaul today.

    i have put 1100 into mine and have not even touched the motor internals. It will be the last one though. Not much use for a -2000 equity tractor when you don't have acers upon acres to farm. Looks good and runs good but, once it has run its course this time i wil have to break down and get an...

    '48 8N Front mount distributor shaft

    common sense told me there shouldn't be that is why i ordered the new bushing. this would cause rotor tip not to make proper contact to the Dis. Cap. there was slop with the top out and just the shaft in the base. top is good. this might be the reason why i had so much trouble getting it to...

    Pertronix ignition...

    I had the same question and emailed Marvin at pertronix ([email protected]) this is what he stated to me for the 6v +ground 8N. Wire on top of the coil goes to the chassi. The long loose wire on the EI connects to the Red/Grn wire or the Ignition switch. AND YES YOU CAN "SMOKE" AN IGNITOR...

    '48 8N Front mount distributor shaft

    Is there any "slop" allowance for the distributor shaft? (wiggle room) If so how much? I have quite a bit and i have ordered a bushing but, just wanted to know if there was a tolerance.

    Fire at the Plugs

    New wiring harness, new plugs, new electronic ignition, new Volt reg, new resistor block, new ignition switch, new battery. Old coil, old rotor, old starter, old genny. It will turn over but no fire at the plug. I can pull one plug hold it to the manifold and don't get a spark. Not even a cold...

    8N Wiring Harness Questions

    OK. I ran a search for 8N Wiring harness and have looked through about 200 of the 2700 post that were found and have a little more understanding (just a little) of how it is suppose to be wired. From the posts i understand that in Fig. F071 wire# 7 should terminate on the + terminal of the two...

    Belt Size

    does anyone know what size belt is used on a '48 8N. (Water pump, crankshaft and genorator. Don't have one to match up and compare and can find any thing in the FO-4 manual stating a size. I know its a 1/2 but x what is what i am missing. Can I just use a string and find it that way?

    Thanks. Not too up on tubing fittings so it was going to wind up being a trial and error until it worked.
