Ford 9n strange behavior

Conclusión
Yep, the 30 yr old condenser works fine. Apparently the new one was junk.....frustrating, but fixed.

I think 9 out 10 of the Chinese condensers are bad. I have had nothing but trouble with them. If they work they won't last long. I just buy brand name ones now.

Big Red, I did a “forum semi no- no” that reply was quoting vac-14. I kind of wonder how often the “miracle battery cable to ground connection cleaning” that is often reported on here as “the fix” really is what fixed the problem? Or was it something else the individual did at the same time but was convinced in their mind they previously checked that other problem X and that couldn’t have been the “actual” fix. Not saying a battery cable connection on an old tractor can’t be problematic. To me if he used the battery cable circuit to crank the high amp starter motor, but then at the same time that circuit couldn’t provide a few amps to operate the engine’s ignition, this seems to me to be questionable hypothesis.

Agree......I did my best to only change one item at a time as I worked thru the issue. Sad when new parts are an issue.
