I have my grandfathers '50 model 8N. Many years ago, Pop converted the tractor to a 12V system. I inherited the tractor, had it restored, and have been using it for gardening and other light chores. Yesterday, I went to start the tractor to hook up the potato plow. When I turned the key, there was a sizzling sound from beneath the hood, then nothing. I released the key, then tried it again. Nothing. I ran my hand along all the wiring, the generator, starter, solenoid and wiring behind the dash. I couldn't smell anything hot, nor could I feel anything hot. This is the first issue I've had since the restoration. Any hints you guys might give are appreciated. Thanks.
