A little story, This fall I had a stranger stop by to "look " at my 39-9 that I had parked out front. It turned out he was looking for someone to fix his non running Ford. I agreed to look at it and help him out as it was only 12 or 15 miles away.
His tractor was a mess! probley a 2-N with an 8-N hood, 12 volt conversion. The wireing was realy bad. Long story short after getting his starter rebuilt I repaired the wireing and got it running. Without having a diagram as to how it was intended to be wired, and with help from diagrams on this and another site I guessed as to what was done.
Having NO information as to 6 or 12 volt coil made it a "shot " in the dark without taking everything apart. So here I make the suggestion that:
" When you convert to 12 volts, on the inside of the battery door you draw a wireing diagram as to how it has been wired, including if it is still a 6 volt coil."
I know you might rember or have a file someplace the next owner will appreciate having the correct information.
Bruce, maybe #76?
