Posted these pics before. Lady up the road asked me to ID her ex husband's tractor. With help from here, it was determined to be a 43 9N - Rubber, Sherman, & electrics added after the war.
Anyway, I get a call from her this weekend...2 Guys are there to buy it *IF* they can get it cranked.
Turns out I knew one of the guys (Former SCUBA Student of mine), but between the 3 of us, we never did figure out how the old guy was cranking this tractor.
Below are 2 pics...One is the left side wiring. It appears that it is 12 volt, but cannot be sure. Battery had 4 caps on top, wire from + side down to solenoid. Other side of solenoid wired to starter. Wires from battery side of starter appeared to go to a pull switch on the dash, as pointed out in the other picture.
For the life of us, we could not figure out how to engage the starter! We did all we could think of except for jumping across the solenoid, which I objected to given its proximity to the battery and fuel tank..lol
All guidance is appreciated!
