Thank you in advance for the help. Do all 8n's have a ignition key? My tractor has two holes on left side below gauge. They both are pull knobs. I believe one is for the lights and I have no idea on the other. There is no key. All pictures I've seen seem to have a key. I bought this tractor not running. The person I bought it from said he thought alternator was the problem. I don't think so. He also thought it was a 9n but it is a 8n. I put battery in and push button and it turns over strong. Gas is on. I have not checked spark or fuel yet as I'm starting with the possibility there should be a key ignition. Thank you for any info !!
