    52 8N starter always cranks

    I have the Model 8N Ford Tractor operators manual 3729-50M, I also have the I & T Shop Service Ford Manual. When I said everything matches up I meant everything else but the solenoid. I didn't think I had to explain that part. I have just overhauled the whole motor. And it does run now except...

    52 8N starter always cranks

    I have a two ford 8N manuals, everything in both matches up to my tractor. The serial number on the motor matches a 1952 8N. It is a flathead 4 cylinder with side mount distibutor and a twelve volt conversion that was done by the guy I bought it from 6 years ago.

    52 8N starter always cranks

    Very similar to first picture you show. It has four posts coming off of it. The one on top has a wire from the positve side of the battery, a wire going to the ammeter, and a small jumper wire going to the second post down. The third post has the wire from the thumb starter button, and the...

    52 8N starter always cranks

    The serial numbers on the engine match up with those for an 8N but the cable from the starter does run up to the steering column. Sorry no pictures yet. Daughter home from college tomorrow, she will help with pictures.

    52 8N starter always cranks

    Again thanks for the responses. Neither the old starter or the new one have a solenoid on top of them. Could this be mounted under the dash? I will not be working on this tonight. Work three days on three off, tomorrow back to work.

    52 8N starter always cranks

    Thanks for the response. I don't have a meter or know how to work one. I'll have to ask a neighbor.

    52 8N starter always cranks

    I have a 52 8N tractor that has developed a problem. The starter cranks as soon as I hook up the batterey. I removed the lead to the starter and have been roll starting it. Bought a new starter, tried again, same problem. Could it be the push button switch?

    crank gear assembly order

    Same as Chris that started this topic, I just got my parts back from the machine shop. I left the crankshaft gear on the crank when I took it to the machine shop, I cannot determine the direction the part in the middle of his picture should face. Does the bottom of the cup go in toward the key...
