Remote 8N starter setup/connection

Johnoroville · Feb 12, 2018

How would you connect/attach a 'Remote starter' on an 8N?

How would you work the choke? Why would you want remote start?

What could possibly go wrong with that?

Some guys feel quite lucky if it starts when they're sitting on it.

This question was answered almost a week ago for the same poster/handle on the Tractor Talk Board.

Didn't like the answer, I guess???

I have no one to help me set the timing on my '52 (points)and I need to re-install the distributor on my '51, because someone that told me they were a retired PeterBuilt Tractor mechanic, helping me took the Dist out without noting which way the rotor was facing....bummer....

You don't need a remote starter to do that.

Take all the spark plugs out so the engine will roll easier.
Turn it over by hand until you feel compression coming out of
the #1 cylinder spark plug hole. The one closest to the radiator.
You can turn the engine using the fan or a hand crank.
The hand crank from a Farmall Cub works fine to turn them too.

Then turn it a little more to line up the timing marks on the
flywheel at 4 degrees BTDC.

Put the distributor back in with the rotor pointed at #1 on the cap.
Install the spark plug wires in order 1-2-4-3 CCW around the
distributor. Once it starts, adjust the timing with a timing light.
