Need help with a Dearborn 19-22

[Jfields2631]

I'm the newest member here, but I need some guidance and help. I've worked on old Ford N series tractors before but it's been years. My neighbor just inherited a decent Dearborn 19-22. We've replaced the battery, coil and plugs. It cranks over and seems to be getting fuel to the cylinders. But it just won't fire up and run. Please, any suggestions or point me in direction here that I can do some research. I'm not finding much info out there on the old Dearborn 19-2X series. Thanks in advance Ya'll.

I've never heard of such a tractor. Those numbers sound more like the model number from a loader which could be on an N series Ford. If it has a flat head engine it is likely to be an N series tractor. If so the model number is on the right side of the engine just below the head about the center of the engine

yes, it's an old loader, I'm not sure which model tractor it actually is we couldn't find anything on the actual tractor, I'm heading over there soon and I look some more and post a few pics if possible.

19-22 is most likely the model number of the Dearborn loader attached to it

If it is an overhead valve engine it is
probably a naa, 600, or 800, if that is
the case the model is stamped into the
transmission casting over the starter.

You have the loader model then. If it has a flat head engine and 3 forward speeds it is a 9N or 2N. If it has i-beam radius rods it is likely to be a 9N or it has tube type 2N. If it has a 4 speed it is an 8N. If it has the 4 nipple distributor cap it is an early front mount distributor and points are set to 0.015. If it has the 5 nipple ca it is a late model 8N an the points are set to 0.025

You guys are great I still can't find any model information on it, the thing has been painted over several times. I got a battery in it and the starter is cranking over. The coil is missing so I need to find a coil. It looks like a 9N, to me.

Radius rod says 9N. Look on the non carb side just below the head is a flat spot where the model/serial number is stamped. You may need to lightly sand the area to see the numbers.To bad you not closer I have a complete distributor for it. By the way point gap is 0.015. You pull the distributor to set/replace the points and it fits only on way unless you force it

I added an additional pic of the other side. Is that flat shaped area where I should find the model info? And I'm in California, if I can't get a coil locally what's the chances you're up for shipping one my way, I'll pay all the S&H...

Most auto parts store have them as well as TSC but the ones from TSC maybe China junk. This site also sell them and can probably get you one faster then I could get the one to you

The only model information is just the serial number on left side on that small flat spot close to the oil filter. Nothing on the right side of engine. I have a 44 2N that Dad bought new in May of 44 so it has been with me all of its life so I know its history as I was born on 9-11-43. Then I have a 41 9N that I have had for probably 20 years. The 9N has the I beam radious rods while the 2N has the tublar type. Others here say the tube tipe did not coum untill later than my 2N was on the farm And I have never seen a tractor with the 2N hood that had the Ibeam radious rods. The 2N hood fastenons with 2 bolts, one in each dogleg. Now the 9N hood fastens on with hidden mounting under the radiator. The 9N spindles and steering arms use a tapered bolt. no head, to hold the arms on while the 2N used a standard style bolt. Earliest 9N had a different dash than the later 9N that is same as the 2N dash. My 9N the bolts that hold the fenders on are hidden in the axle casting while the 2N bolts are in only a flange on top and bottm of axle to hold fenders on. They say the 9N had a non pressurised radiator while the 2N was pressuride. Mine both have the pressure type.

ok, I think I'm back on track here. I ordered a new coil (12v) and distributor cap from here, to replace the parts that were taken off the tractor. I got the kit in and it came with new points and condenser, etc. But when I took the distributor apart it didn't look like I'd expected. Instead of points there's an electronic ignition conversion on it for the 12v setup. Everything is back together but I'm still not getting spark at the plugs. With points I know how to test the setup with my multimeter by rotating the distributor. Can anyone please explain what I'm looking at here and how to test for spark or connectivity with the magneto setup?
