I bought my N with the side mount distributor out of it, upon going to put it back in I noticed it almost appeared to bind up and not allow me to rotate the rotor to drop it down in fully, no matter how many times I tried. Upon inspection I saw what looked like a bit of damage to the gear I am trying to mesh with the gear on the distributor shaft assembly. [b:c47653e8c0]My question[/b:c47653e8c0]; what is the name of the gear on the tractor that meshes with the distributor? I will likely need to replace and am not sure what to look for. Thanks all in advance!

Bcrossgr ,That camshaft does not have to be replaced as one person said,he doesn't know.
The distributor drive gear can be replaced on the camshaft.Part number # 7RA6255, the cost is $21.50.

First, get out your ESSENTIAL MANUALS and look at the diagrams and part list. Don't have them? I advise to invest in them - you won't regret it. The 8N Angle (SIDE)
Mount Distributor is unique only to the late 8N. With the NAA and after came a revamped edition of the side mount and though some parts interchange, many are
different. The 8N use a CCW Firing Order and ALL 8N's use the A Circuit Design GENERATOR. The NAA and after uses a CW Firing Order and the GENERATORS all use the B:
Circuit Design, for two important details. Some part suppliers just take whatever is on their shelf and have no clue what part they are getting. It matters where you
buy from. Meanwhile, see if this helps...
FORD 8N TRACTOR, AFTER S/N 263843 (SIDE MOUNT)
SPECS: BREAKER POINTS = .025 +/- .001 ... USE STANDARD IGNITION/BLUE STREAK #FD-8081, NAPA should sell them.
SPARK PLUG GAP = .026 +/- .001 ... USE CHAMPION H12 or AUTO-LITE 437
FIRING ORDER = 1,2,4,3 CCW
FORD 8N TRACTOR, AFTER S/N 263844, w/ANGLE (SIDE) MOUNT DISTRIBUTOR:
