Hi all, New to this forum site. Wanted to take a minute to say hello and see if anyone else out there has a Ford 960. This one is a 1955 narrow front with 4200 hours and it came with a working 6 foot brush cutter (brand unknown). Tractor was owned by a friends deceased father-n-law who had started the 12V conversion but never finished.
The engine turns easy but she won't start right now. I have purchased the 6V coil, generator rebuild kit for the original 6V gen, distributor cap and rotor, plugs, points, condenser and 6V voltage regular. Also bought a carb rebuild kit. Only thing left is purchasing a new 6V batt and getting all these new parts installed so we can get the old girl up and running.
Sheet metal is all good and straight as well and all lights intact including the rear facing work light. As you can see I an putting her back to the original 6V system. Please don't get me wrong I am not a purest but if she was designed with 6V figured putting it all back would be best.
Your thoughts?
Sorry no pics yet as she is dirty, Been sitting in the barn for a few years since he passed on. Also bought the shop manual.
