I have a 1947 2n that I am slowly getting back together after numerous new parts and a new paint job. Although the tractor did start and run with the jury rigged wiring it had, I bought a new wiring harness, new cutout, new resistor block, new ammeter and new ignition switch. I wired it according to the diagram I found at Tyler Neff's site. From the upper left terminal on the resistor block, I have a red wire from the harness going to the coil. From the ignition switch, there is a yellow wire going to the upper right terminal on the resistor block. On the lower terminal on the resistor block, there is a black wire from the ignition switch, a wire from the ( + ) side of the new ammeter and a wire from the cutout(marked batt). I have a black wire from the harness going from the cutout to generator. And there is a wire from the starter switch to the new ammeter ( - ) side. Well, after all this, I stick in the new key, turn the switch, hit the starter. engine spins....and smoke rolls out from the resistor. Any ideas? The tractor is still on blocks, no gas hooked up, so it is not ready to actually start. I just wanted to check my wiring which apparently is not right.

New ballast resistors will smoke for a while until the crud burns off. The wiring sounds correct. Put gas into the puppy and crank away...
Happy Motoring

thanks Claus. I will fire it back up and see what happens. This board is great. I get a faster response here than from at home.

Same thing with the resistor on my 9n last month. I had seen heating elements smoke a little at first, so I figured that's what is was. Claus was right again. Get her going. Dale in VA.
