8N Miss Problem Solved

I have a 1949 8N tractor that developed a miss under load. This started last spring when I was moving old hay from round bales. I did several things to solve this miss but nothing seemed to work. I changed the plugs, removed the front mounted distributor and changed the points, cleaned the air filter system, drained the gas tanks and flush(it had some water), put on a new settling bowl and tank value, cleaned gas lines, put on new distributor cab, and check the fire from the plugs. None of these things helped. I ask a man to come and look for the problem. He has worked on tractors for a long time but is retired, now. He got a long screwdriver and told me to start the tractor. He ran the tractor up about half throttle and took off the number four spark plug wire and checked the spark. He then took off the other wires and compared the spark. He said the plug wire was bad on the number four plugs. I bought a new set of wire and the tractor has never run as good. Now I had checked the spark before but only at idle. Maybe this information will help someone else.

Jack,

I find the follow ups very useful. I have a very slight miss in my 8N. Once I get around to taking it apart I will first work on the electrical stuff first. I.E. new plug wires, and new distributor cap. But first I have to change the front axle bushing.....
