    well I was able to spend some time with the 9n. I took the carb apart again a boiled it out and used spray cleaner in every hole in it put new gaskets in it and put it back together along with new elbow strainer and new strainer in sediment bowl. Still no joy. I then took the distributer out and...

    9n wont start

    Hello, Ive been picking away at the 9n I got durning the summer. When I bought it it had no spark. I bought new coil and wiring. I had the hood and gas tank off for the wiring and work on it. As soon as I put the coil on and new plugs and wiring I rolled it over and it fired up but without the...

Hate to pull the pan. How many quarts of oil does it require?!And after I take off the rod cap what should I...

    Brakes and fluid leak

    I have a couple more issues I want to deal with in the near future after I get the 1940 9n running. I bought this tractor without hearing it run. It has had new pistons and sleeves installed but I dont think they did the bearings while they were at it as a big box of spare parts came with it and...

    No Spark on 9n

    I must have been doing it right the first time. as it is impossible to do it backwards. I did this the last time after adjusting the points and re setting the time. I stripped the end from some copper wire 14ga. then put it in with the spark plug wire at the cap and rolled it over and held the...

    No Spark on 9n

    I pulled it again. bye the way there are new points in it. dont know why I have 4.7 instead of 3. Maybe they are open a bit to far. I read 17 was better. Have to try the 15. Dont think that is the cause. Anyway, pulled it again. Did a real cleaning to it with the shaft, timing plate removed and...

    No Spark on 9n

    Ok had my first cup of coffee and went out and pulled the unit. Checked 1 thru 4 and all checked as it should in your message. Does that show that the coil is good and condenser is good? If so then what is the cap or rotor bad? I noticed that this cap really fits tight in the dist. really have...

    No Spark on 9n

    Thanks all for the quick help. I will try turning the engine over so the points close and check vdc. The points were not new I cleaned them up with file a bit so I dont think any of the new clear coat is on them. I do think the wire runs from the switch to a terminal with the resister on it...
