More 2N Progress

It took me longer than I thought to go through and clean all of the electrical connections, but I got to the point that I'm ready to do a test run. The tractor hasn't been started in a year.

Looking good Colin! Don't forget to put a tblspn or so of oil in each cylinder before you start it. And do open the garage door!

But I detect a problem.........

That appears to be a car in the garage. Garages are for tractors! :)
 
Good reminders, Bruce! I'll be sure to do both. Thank you. I completely agree with you about the garage. In fact, the 1940 9N is sitting under a pile of snow while the car gets royal treatment? Something is terribly wrong with that.

It sure is. It's a 1950 and belonged to the family who farmed across from us. It's the only tractor they owned and has been in pieces since the 1990s. I purchased it last fall from the original owner's son. As a side note, the original owner's grandson was my best man in my wedding this summer. It'll be nice to restore a piece of local history.

Don't know what happened on first post as i'm a little behind power curve on some of this stuff. Meant to say sure is neat to be restoring the 8-N from the next farm. I drove mine several time today in rain just because they are so much fun to operate. All of your work looks great by the way.
 
Thank you! I'm looking forward to getting it running. This will be my second tear-down, cleaning, painting, etc and it's always exciting when you get close to completion.
