    9n Has Trouble While Mowing

    Tip 67 mentions annual maintenance for the points, but it doesn't mention how often things should be replaced. Are you just assuming mine need replaced due to lack of maintenance, or are you saying they should be routinely replaced less than 3 years apart? Does anyone happen to know of any...

    9n Has Trouble While Mowing

    It's backfiring in the exhaust. I haven't changed the spark plugs for a while, and I've never changed any of the other electrical components in the 3 years I've owned the tractor (except for the batter). Per everyone's advice I started with the spark. I went ahead and replaced the plugs with new...

    9n Has Trouble While Mowing

    My 9n seems to be running fine while simply driving, including pulling weight. However, when I run the PTO to use my finish mower it gets bogged down and sometimes dies. When this is happening it starts to backfire every few minutes. I've also noticed that I have to pull the choke quite a bit...

    9n Head Gasket Replacement - Final Steps

    My 9n was having problems pointing at a worn head gasket (coolan t in oil, oil in coolant, burning coolant, etc). I have a friend that's very knowledgable with old tractors and he gave me a basic rundown of replacing it. I have taken the head off and used a wire brush attachment for my drill to...

    Ford 9n won't start after cold weather

    Well, I double checked the cleanliness of the air filter and drained the carb. I also tightened the nut behind the fuel valve and that stopped the leak. I was able to get the tractor started, though I'm not sure what did it. I'm guessing draining the carb helped and there was just something...

    Ford 9n won't start after cold weather

    Thanks for all the replies. It"s a 12 volt system. After my initial post I did pull one of the spark plugs and confirmed it was getting a spark. After talking to my dad I finally understand the sequence of events I"m hearing. When I try to start it the engine is turning over, but very quickly...

    Ford 9n won't start after cold weather

    I'm quite new to the world of tractors. I've had my 9n for about 6 months and have done some very basic maintenance on it. I live in SW Missouri. Once colder weather came around (30-45 degrees) I started having trouble getting the tractor started, even with the block warmer plugged in. I started...
