    Coil voltage

    It is a sediment bowl, I just couldn't think of that name and fuel shut off was the first thing that came to me. Sucks getting old, the old memory isn't what it was. Yes there is a screen in the tank. It is not as fine as the other two almost like the screen in your house windows. What was...

    Coil voltage

    Cold, windy and wet here today. Guess that made the decision to work on the 8N easier. First checked the gas tank and according to my calibrated dip stick there was 3 gallons of fuel in the tank. Removed the gas line at the carb and a good steady stream. Re-attached the line and removed the...

    Coil voltage

    Finally got back to checking out this 8N. Plan was to start it up and let it run till it quit. Well that didn't take long, started right up and ran maybe 1 minute and died like I shut the key off and would not restart. I was ready with an adjustable spark tester. Bright blue spark jumped...

    Coil voltage

    I'll check the resistance but will be a couple of days before I can get back to it. Not sure what you mean by "any other restorers between the resistor and coil"

    Coil voltage

    Have what I believe is a '49 8N with a front mount distributor. Previous owner did a real shady 12V conversion and I've had to fix a few issues. I suspect the coil is dying a slow death as it will quit after running for a while and after sitting for a while start back up and run for a short...

    Some observations and a little ranting

    I bought this (believe it's a '49) 8N recently and decided to leave it as is just repairing what needed repairing to make it reliable. First it was new rear tires and rims and a set of snow chains. While the tires were off I decided to look at the brakes. Just a clean up and adjustment. The...

    Governor Linkage

    I have what I believe to be a '49 8N. It starts great and idles fine but can be difficult to advance the throttle. Was changing the alternator this afternoon and plan to clean up the wiring too. While the alternator was off I was looking at the carb and governor. I noticed the rod from carb...

    Which transmission/hydraulic oil to use?

    Wanted to pick up some transmission/hydraulic fluid today and had issues finding what I thought was the proper fluid. Was looking for a M2C134D rating or just a 80W90 oil. Couldn't find either spec listed on a 5 gal. pail. In fact the only spec rating I saw was AW32 and the sales clerk said...

    Unknown lever

    I'm new to the world of tractor restoration. Thought I'd start with something that wasn't too far out there so I picked up an 8N. Not sure of the year since I can't read the serial number but that's not what I'm concerned about. I've found this short lever underneath the right side of the...
