Norm........4-speed 8N's were first mfg in 1949. Your 3-speed 2N was mfg 1942-1948. Based upon yer complaint, my WAG (wild A$$ guess) is you've gottchur sparkies miss-wired. Probably #2 & #3 swapped. Yeah, the 4-nipple front mount izza bugger. Points are 0.015 and best adjusted on the kitchen table. Me? I'd clamp the corner of $1-bill between the points and pull. Polish the INVISIBLE CORROSION from between the points. Ennytime you have starting issues, replace yer sparkies (again?) Recommend AutoLite 437's gapped 0.025. 2nd advice, learn how-to adjust yer carbie. Set the down-pointing MAINJET to 2-turns and LEAVITT!!! Adjust the side-pointing idlemix fer FASTEST idle, NOT SMOOTHEST idle. Understand the difference??? Ennythang under 500-rpms is good. I once got my eazy starting 6-volt 8N to idle 375-rpms onna transistorized tachometer. .........HTH, Dell, yer self-appointed sparkie-meister

Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
