Good morning everyone, I just acquired a 1951 8n and have some questions.
I got this tractor on a trade and the gentleman said I would only need to wire a switch for the key. I purchased a toggle switch and hooked up the wires he told me to hook up. One wire comes from the neg. side of the battery (This is a sidemount 6volt pos. ground). The other wire goes directly to the coil. I hooked these up, attempted to jump start, the ractor cranked but the wire from the battery started to melt. The switch burned up. I also noticed this has a 12 volt battery, no ammeter hooked up, VR has wires on it but they don't connect to the generator. I am wondering if it's best to re-wire this thing, or see if there is any other way around the charging system mickey mouse job. Thanks.
