    Ford 9n

    So, 12 volt system with 1/2 the power from the 12 volt (are you sure?) battery. No wonder she aint-a firing off. If you have a 12 Volt, Neg ground system in the 9N, with a 12 Volt battery that's only putting out 1/2 the power then try this: Unhook the weak battery from the tractor...

    Carb won't stop dripping. What am I missing??

    Charlie - Check the old float to find EXACTLY where the hole is. Then check the corresponding surface in the float bowl chamber. If there is a rust bulge it might have "grown" to the point that the float rubbed itself on it - wearing a hole in the old float. Also possible that if there is...

    Alternator not working

    29, Unless you just like screwing around for hours on the tractor, out back in the barn, you might just want to consider pulling the alternator and taking it to one of the larger car parts stores (You Know the - "We test Alternators [color=green:f6fe0db756][b:f6fe0db756]FOR...

    FYI: Gas Cap / Gas Gauge

    ... or with the tractor laying on it's side. Otherwise, of course, in thousands of times in the past, it works as designed - to get the tractor out of the field to refuel.

    FYI: Gas Cap / Gas Gauge

    And Red, if she runs out there is always the reserve by turning the last 2 turns open on the fuel shut off wheel at the sediment bowl.

    FYI: Gas Cap / Gas Gauge

    Yepper - sounding with a dipstick has been working just fine since 1940 on mine. The only way that this'll be accurate is if you have a cubic tank. Good gimmick for those who need gimmicks. This post was edited by Joe.S.AK on 07/01/2022 at 07:35 am.

    9N quit, weather 90 degrees. Logistics problem?

    DM, before going any further check the glass sediment bowl and it's screen, Check for water and possible junk from the tank that is supposed to stop traveling through the fuel system at the glass bowl. If you have spark from your distributor, through the spark plug wire, through the tester...

    Ford 9N not charging

    Jon, I just had one checked at Auto Zone 6 weeks ago. Almost ANY 'Big Name' car parts store as well as many smaller ones provide this service for free, hoping to sell you a replacement if the old one is bad. Take the Alternator out and drag it to your favorite parts store and they'll...

    Ford 9N not charging

    Exactly right - first have a car parts store check the alternator.

    Ballast Resistor

    Check with Pertronix - but you should find that the new round coil has an internal resister - meaning that the external one (if it was there) shouldn't be needed. With all those upgrades I was curious about the "points" being replaced with new ones. Did you mean Electronic Ignition module...

    Does replacement 12 v coil for front dist. needs a resis

    Marlin - I don't want to disagree with all those who desperately want to perpetuate Henry Ford's 1940 ignition system - and so I shall simply explain what I did with my 1940 9N. It had been converted to 12 V, Neg ground before I bought it. Over 80 years it had been "maintained" to the...

    Dead Cylinder #3

    So, pull the plug, attach it's plug wire and ground out the base of the plug to the block. Easiest way to know if the spark has made it all the way to, ~~and all the way through~~, the plug and is presenting itself to the cylinder. I would check the entire system all the way to the suspected...

    OEM vs Aftermarket parts

    And, of course, there is always NOS sitting somewhere in storage.

    Filled front tires
