    Primary Conductor and Primary Terminal Insulator

    It looks like I can order it from another site, but is there any reason why I can't just make a jumper instead of waiting the two or three days for it to arrive? Sounds too simple. There must be a reason why I can't do that. What do you think?

    Primary Conductor and Primary Terminal Insulator

    I need to replace my Primary Conductor (part #8N-12209) on my 1950 8N (6V/side mount dist). I thought that while I was there I would replace my primary terminal insulator (part #7RA-12234) as well. So far I have not been able to track these parts down for ordering. Any suggestions?

    no spark on 8n

    Also, I forgot to mention, the ammeter shows a constant discharge.

    no spark on 8n

    I jumped the key swith with no luck. I read tip #38 and I had indeed (before all of this) left the key on and drained the battery completely. the points look fine and the ignition switch is still good as my polarity tester lit up just fine from side to side. How do you tell if the coil is bad?

    no spark on 8n

    It is a 6V, side mount. I put the new harness and so forth on after I had finished repainting the body and so forth. I would not doubt a bit that it was the original harness (it was in bad shape. So it was probably about 2 to 3 months ago. I have plenty of gas flow.

    no spark on 8n

    I have finished restoring my 8N. I went to start it last week and found out my floats were hung up after 2 years of sitting on bench. I cleaned them and everything is great (there). I am not getting any spark. I pulled all 4 plugs and rolled it over. Everything rolls just great as it ran like a...

    Jumping a dead battery

    When you have a dead battery on a 1950 8N 6V do you hook the positive cable from the charger to the positive post on the battery or visa-versa?

    Belt Pulley Housing

    I have finished a complete restoration of my 1950 8N and am ready to fire it back up. I have consulted the manual for proper fluids and correct amounts. It is all fairly basic to me accept for the part that says the "Belt Pulley Housing" should have 1/3 quart. I am assuming this it is standard...

    8N oil lines

    I am trying to replace my oil lines on my 1950 8N. Is this something I either have to make or clean up the old ones? I do not seem to be able to find them anywhere.

    Amp Meter wiring

    Thanks. That was better than cutting and splicing. Sometimes the most obvious is not so obvious (to me anyway).

    Amp Meter wiring

    Thank you. I just wanted to make sure that I would not burn or short anything out. It makes sense though that it would only read backwards. Thanks again.

    Amp Meter wiring

    On my 1950 8N, S/N 291966: I had to replace gauges and wiring harness upon rebuild and I ordered the 8NGAUGEKIT and 8N14401C harness. My old amp gauge had the 'loop through' style of wiring, while the new one has two electrical posts. Do I simply cut the wire and hook to a post and reconnect to...

    Wiring Harness 1950 8N 6 volt

    My tractor is a side mount distributor. Yes the generator has three leads, but one is longer and larger ID (that makes it obvious) and one of the four to the voltage regulator is also longer and larger ID. I bought the harness through Antique Tractors and was described as identical to the original.
