I bought my 1951 8N about 1 year ago. Drove it home with the engine coughing and choking. The sediment bowl was full of debris at the end of the 3-4 mile trip. parked for the winter til I could get time to do some maintenance. It was owned by my wifes grandfather he had it for 25-30 years, always barn kept and used only for pulling a wagon. Gave $1200.00 for it. This spring got her out to move some shale and it wouldn't start just one click each time I tried. Removed starter, disasembled,sprayed wd40 everything looks good reinstalled still one click. Removed and retraced exact procedure reinstalled dead shorted the neg wire (positive ground) to the side of the solenoid, burnt neg cable in two pieces. Removed, install new solenoid, starter tested good, reinstalled grinds, won't start. No fire thru the coil, replaced coil,plug wires, dist cap,rotor button (lotta pollen dust inside distributor) no fire thru coil wire to dist. Replace condensor, hey she started yippee yahoo.Used two days and she stops about every 30-45 min, just shutsdown no warning, must jump start ( voltage reg known to be not working), replaced voltage reg, charge battery, she runs but still shuts down at about 35 min this time. checked coil wire immediately because grinding not firing sure enough no fire thru the coil wire replaced old coil back onto tractor, 26 min starts right up. Thats the whole story anybody have any ideas??
