Thanks for all the help! The old tractor had gotten down lately, not wanting to start, not want to pull, it was just feeling it's age and I felt it just wanted to go to the old tractor retirement home. After asking several questions, the guys on this forum really helped me. I replaced the 1940s N wiring that had been installed 15 years ago after a guy burnt up the original harness before I bought the 52 8N. It ran OK, but just not great. I figured it was just tired and after all, I'm only 1 year than my 8N. The new wiring harness went on just fine. I also ordered a new distrubitor cap, rotor, points, condenser, plugs, copper plug wires, coil, ignition switch and a new fuel line. After installing all of this, it would not start. It spit and sputtered and backfired, but would not actually start, so I started rechecking everything all over again. Everything seemed to be correct so I started with the new rotor. I changed back to the old rotor, (which was only about 12 months old) and it started fine!!
It purred like a kitten. I turned it off and tried to start it again, buuuurrrroooommm, it started like it had never started it the seven years since I got it. I soon forgot about the new bad rotor. I want to keep this 52 8N original and 6V.
Thanks again to all.
