Bill.......it don't matter when it came out. All ya gotta know is whether ittza 4-nipple frontmount or 5-nipple sidemount ...and... 6V-or-12V, simple, eh?
Alix, you write......."My 47 8n has quit starting. Have cleaned carburator and have plenty of gas. Checked power to coil and have 6.4 volts. Cleaned points with sandpaper...they open when pressed. the distributor points forward etc" .......aint'chur carb and 'nebber was. Why? 'cuz carbs take LONG time to go wrong.

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off.
