    Ford 1510 block issue

    I have a Ford 1510 with a 3 cylinder shibaura engine, that is down, the rod went through the block. doing research this was a common problem for this tractors. seeing if the bell housing would marry up to another engine (gas or diesel). any options would be helpful. i was looking at Yanmar...

    9N backfire

    Thanks to all of you! Yes I had the wireing backwards. The FO 4 was not that much help and page 47 appears to be in error. Anyway I put the right wires to the right places and she fired the first time. No hard start on this one now. Maybe that will come later. Thanks again!

    8N spark

    I have a 8N with some 9N parts added. Front mount distributor. Cannot get spark to the plugs. Have replaced condenser, points, distributor cap, wireing. The coil transmitts a 6 volt signal from the post through to the rotor contact point. I do not know if this indicated that the coil is OK...
