I'm desperate. I have a 1948 8N that runs great. Great for about an hour that is. After it gets good and warmed up it just dies. It doesn't act like a fuel problem, but more electrical. My question is how can a tractor start so good and run so great and then just kill in a heart beat. This really restricts my usage of a very good old tractor.

While it does sound like the coil....it could be that your gas tank vent is clogged, assuming that you do not have a vented gas cap. The next time it stops, remove the fuel line at the carb & see if gas comes out. If not, take the gas cap off, then see what happens. And, if you buy a coil, make sure you get one from a reliable source; there are a lot of made in China coils out there that are cheap to buy & don't work very long.

Tim -

That was me last week. 3 guys all pointed to the coil and Dell told me the reason is that after 45min-1hour of heat the inside coating of the coil melts causing the wire to short. Once cold, the coating inside solidifies/hardens and she works again... for only 45min-1hour when it melts again.

I think just an extreme exposure to the heat causes the first meltdown - not sure though. Dell mentioned after the 1st one... it's a forever problem.

For me, $32 for a 12v coil (replaced 6v on my 12v conversion 9N), and I was running strong! Fixed me up 100% and I ran for hours.
