    8N keeps cranking had to disconnect battery

    As Used Red said, disconnect that small wire. If it still cranks, "sometimes" you can tap the solenoid with a screwdriver handle and jar those contacts loose. If you do have to replace the solenoid, don't go by looks. The solenoid on an 8N is activated by applying ground to that little terminal...

    Little help please…dust cover?

    None of the ones I found seemed to fit exactly either, but those look like the ones I ended up using. I think as long as they keep dust out, they'll work. Mine have been in place for 8 years now.

    Speedy - 8 years later

    Thanks Jerry. I'm still kicking, just not as high as I used to! Had a set back with some health issues but I'm back in the shop now. Not planning to open up the carb shop again, but I have a few projects to get to including a 1939 9N and that 2600D I bought a few years ago.

    Speedy - 8 years later

    Many of you may remember when I finished this restoration 8 years ago. The first picture is from then, the second is now as I get ready for the Memorial Day tractor show and parade. It has done mainly tractor show and parade duty since the restoration but also does driveway maintenance with a...

    Two Ford 9n’s

    I think you have the numbers right. The one you called rusty would be a 1945 2N by the serial number. And as someone else said, that extra shifter is for a Sherman auxiliary transmission. Most likely a step-up trans. It would give you 8 forward and 2 reverse speeds but also changes the PTO...

    What year is this tractor

    I don't see anything but sometimes you have to have a few posts before you can post pictures. Maybe just list the numbers you have.

    821 ELENCO for sale, 5000.oo

    He didn't post the greatest pictures but that grill and nose cone without the chin looks more like an 800 series than an 801 series. It does have power steering but that being blue maybe was added? Either way, if you want to pick it up and drop it off at my house it would be good to see...

    Ford feature tractor

    Thanks John! She's got some scratches on the floorboards since that picture was taken because she's still earning her keep hauling the landscape rake and leveling the driveway. Will definitely need a bath before going to a show! lol

    Ford Rest-o-Ride Seat

    The standard bumper on all the ones I have done are part numbers 31 and 32 in the parts drawing at the top. DollarBill helped me with mine as well, so I will defer to him if I'm wrong! :)

    Ford feature tractor

    I didn't know Blanchard had shut down. I don't get out much anymore! I know where McBride is, just wasn't sure where the show was. Been more than a minute since I was at the speedway too! :)

    Hello. New 8N Owner

    That looks to be a side mount distributor with the generator on the left side. I can't see the dash panel/proofmeter though. My eyes are getting bad though, so maybe I'm seeing it wrong?

    Ford 8N

    Is it an early 8N with a front mount distributor or a later model with the side mount distributor? If it's an early 8N, jumping the ballast resistor on the back of the dash may help narrow down the cause. Later models with side mount would not have that original resistor. They may still have...

    Just for fun picture - 2600

    Thank you traxtor. Both the tractor and the spreader needed a little work when I got them but I got them cheap enough to make it all worthwhile.
