    Water in Hydro Oil

    When I was mowing with it last weekend it shifted and ran good... had a little whining noise that I've heard when I mowed with it before... nothing rough or chunky or clunky like I have heard in a rear-end going out before.

    Water in Hydro Oil

    I inherited maintaining this beauty and do not know much on her previous maintenance... We are in deep South Texas... so time at or below 32* F is almost as rare as chicken lips... :)

    Water in Hydro Oil

    1941 Ford 9n - I don't know how long it has been since the engine oil and hydro oil was last changed, my brother-in-laws uncle passed away two years ago that took care of the tractor... As I was removing the first of three plugs to drain the hydro oil I had water start to run out. I estimate...

    Ford 9N Ignition

    Thanks... pulled some bad information from the internet (once again trying to go a quick lookup)... I was able to find my Shop Manual (FO-4) and yes it shows firing order as 1-2-4-3 ... I checked the 'play' in the distributor shaft and have no side to side wobble... it does have about 1/32 -...

    Ford 9N Ignition

    I didn't open up the distributor that deep. The last time the tractor fired and started was when I put on temp full supply and jump started it to back off the trailer from which I had it on to work on it to replace radiator and manifold gasket. It ran out of gas and died before I turned off...

    Is this a bad time to sell a *N?

    Sounds like most of you are fortunate enough to have N's in over abundance in your areas... I've been looking for one to restore for myself... My brother-in-law has one for his ranch that I try to keep running and work on, but he is not interested in restoring it since it sits in open pole...

    Ford 9N Ignition

    I am having an interesting issue with distributor on Ford 9N. I've replaced the Distributor Cap, Rotor, Points and Condenser. When I test without the Distributor Cap on I get a spark across my test spark plug when I turn the rotor shaft clockwise (1,3,4,2) and counter-clockwise (2,4,3,1)...

    Problems Starting 9N

    As additional info, did try to pull start the tractor with no luck... Engine turns over fine, but just doesn't appear to get any fire.

    Problems Starting 9N

    Having problem starting Ford 9N that has been converted over to 12V battery with a resistor. Does not appear to be getting power at the spark plug or off the distributor (green cap that spark plug wire plugs in). I connected the spark plug wire to a screwdriver and held it over the spark plug...
