Coil was knocked off

[Shawneee]

I had a funny sound going on that sounded like a pocket of change. Then all of a sudden tractor shut off. What I went up foot to look my coil was popped off and hanging. Can anybody help or has this happened to somebody else I have no idea what would cause that.

Welcome to the forums.

We have no idea of what you are running. Nobody here can see it. You need to give all the details, what it is and all about it. Pictures help as well.

With the info you provided, I can only say it sounds like it was not properly mounted. You will need to remount it, connect any wires that got unhooked and try to start it. If it doesn't start, then you will have to start checking things.

It's a 1949 8N tractor I am currently changing the coil and positive wire that goes to the coil. I will add more when I'm done thank you so much

Hello Shawnee, welcome to YT! It sounds to me like you the coil bail failed or popped out of place, see link. Did it get into the fan?

Reference to 1949 Ford 8N tractor coil was knocked off. I replaced condenser and points convert the tractor to 12 volts. When the coil got knocked off it burnt out the condenser so I replaced. Ran the tractor all went to plowing snow no problems so it could use me. All is done and fix thank you

...no problems so it could use me.

Not sure exactly what you meant here, but glad you got it fixed.

12V on a 6V coil will make them swell and pop .

The Spring that Holds the coil down came off somehow. So I was going to convert it to 12 volt anyway. And when the coil popped off it' burnt the condenser.

"And when the coil popped off it' burnt the condenser." Do you mean that it was physically/mechanically damaged & resulted in "burnt"?

Coil or condenser?????

 

[Shawneee]

It physically damaged the condenser where the condenser no longer worked. I don't mean burnt up like fire. It shorted out the condenser. I'm a lot older and my slang is way different. Also the coil was shorted out so I had to replace the coil with a 12 volt coil. I've never had this happen before so it was a little bit confusing. I hope this helps
