    1939 9N

    It is certainly true that I have gotten frustrated with some of the answers, but I'be also been able to get some really useful information, and I am not the best tpyst ether. I used to have this wonderful book; a generic tractor repair and maintenance manual that was written for a rural...

    You'd find Van Etten sadly changed. The old VE hotel has been torn down, and all the old brick buildings are gone, replaced by a modern bank, post office, and mini-mart. Sadly I can no longer have a beer and a burger in the nearest town.

    The ignition switch is fairly new, maybe 3-4 years old. I understand what you mean by "bypassing the switch" but again, my mechanical skills are nonexistent, so I don't actually know how to do that. While I believe one can teach an old dog new tricks, I'd be a lot happier to have someone with...

    I'm in Van Etten, equally inconvenient from Ithaca, Elmira, Watkins Glen, and Sayre PA :)

    I'm familiar with how to clean spark plugs from the days when I had a regular lawn mower, but the plugs on the 9N are probably over a decade old. Does your advice still hold?

    It ran well until it didn't, and the battery was only a few months old and fully charged when it stopped starting. It would crank but not start. I will change the spark plugs come civilized weather, but that's about the extent of my own mechanical knowledge. I live in a damp area and also...

    Good ideas. There is an old school tractor parts store nearby, and an independent auto parts store. Unfortunately, all, the old farmers I know have either moved to warmer parts or died, but maybe I can find a youngish one.

    I doubt it, he's in his 80s and decamped to somewhere in Florida and does not have a cell phone.

    I have a 1939 9N that my dad bought me years ago that is in rough shape. Until recently I had someone to work on it who kept it running, but he moved, and it's dead in the water, probably electrical. How can I find someone near me in the Fingerlakes of New York who can get her running and...
