Novice needs help with a Farmall H.

Posted by Brad from PA on October 12, 2005 at 09:53:13 from (164.156.5.162):

I have worked on farms and either used a new Massey-Ferguson tractor, or an old Ford 8N. I need to do some work using a Farmall H (probably about 1955-60) and for the life of me, I can not get it started, and I know it was running just recently. Is there some obvious trick - that Farmall folks know - that I am missing? I know the 8N has a kill switch on the fuel line, and I looked for one on the Farmall but did not see any. What else might I be missing? I did get close to starting it, but not quite. By the way, I do know that there is fresh gas in the tank! Also, after trying to start it a few times, it suddenly stopped turning over altogether, and it would do nothing at all when I hit the start button. Any idea what I did wrong? I know the battery still has plenty of juice because the headlights turn on with just as much power as ever. Any guidance someone could give would be greatly appreciated. By the way, there are people here that I could ask, but they would tease me mercilessly about it if i did! Thank you!!! Brad from PA
