1951 8n Ford tractor

tractor wouldn't start did votage check, had votage on ignition key, starter button had votage, no votage at starter. Replaced starter and tractor fired up. I shut it off and restarted it went to do some work with it. While working tractor died and can not restart. Tractor turns over but does not fire. Can anyone help me with this problem? Thank you

I think the starter relay is grounded to operate. This means if it gets battery voltage to the relay, it cranks. But, if there is a broken wire to the key/switch, or a fault (open in the wire) to the coil, it will not run. Make sure the voltage is getting to the coil. Jim

also check/replace the condenser if it still has one. back when mine was still running it would be working and die all of a sudden because of a bad condenser.
