Need some help! Never owned a tractor before and bought a ford 8/9n. Front mount distributor, appears to
have been converted to 12v. All wiring is old and cracking so I want to start over. I have some aptitude
and willing to learn. Tractor did run upon purchase but not now. Battery went dead so I bought a new one.
It worked for a week and then went dead again. Would like to know what wiring harness to buy and what
diagram to use to properly reconnect for 12v use as well as the two coolant hoses. I have purchased a tune
up kit as well as new cap and wires,resistor,connector on the size of the alternator. Oil and ammeter
guages work. Not sure if it is a 8 or 9. # on side of block starts with 8 but # by gear box starts with 9.
Anyone willing to help? Appreciate your time. Thanks and have a great week. Tekman1966
