ford 9n

Can anyone please explain to me why the long brass tube “emulsion”? In the center of a Ford 9N carburetor is sized 10 mm? Does it mean that it was replaced at some point with an offshore tube? Thanks, Knots

Ford 9n with no fire. Coil is good, all parts in distributor replaced , points set to spec. Still no fire at any plug. Took distributor off running tractor and put it on this one, still no fire at any plug. Somehow it seems that the issue is upstream from the coil but can’t figure it out. Any...

The tractor worked great last year. I parked it and about 6 months later no spark. I cleaned the points. The condenser is good. I bought a new coil because the old one seemed to measure wrong with a meter. Still no spark. Even when I run a wire from the negative terminal directly to the coil...

Hello. So, I don't know a lot about the Ford tractors. I have an Allis and a couple Massey's. But I found this 1940 9N for sale. He wants $6500 CANADIAN. Is it worth it? I just use them for shows and parades. No real work. But anything to look out for? I see it has an alternator and 12 volt...

1941 Ford 9N will barely idle and will not throttle up w/o backfiring. Will sometimes run OK for a few seconds, then goes back to rough idle. Cannot throttle up at all. Ignition System: 1. Looks like a brand new distributor+coil was installed from previous owner. Tore apart, lubricated...

6 Volt positive ground system, parked it about a month ago, now it will only fire for a second if at all. Put a clamp on timing light on the plug wires and only occasionally get a flash when cranking. Put a test light between the coil and ground, it lights when the ignition is on and flashes...

Hello Ford Tractor Experts, A friend of mine is willing to give up a Ford tractor that has been sitting in his field for many years. It is about a 3 hour drive for me to retrieve it, and maybe a few more hours worth of chain saw work to "unearth" it. He sent me this photo not too long ago. It...

When I got this tractor it has a gearbox with a flat belt pulley attached to it. I removed the bolts but it appears something else is holding it to the PTO shaft. Is there something else which needs to be removed to take the pulley assembly off? Thank you in advance for any advice.

I have a leak where the governor is mated to the flywheel case. Seems like it should be an easy repair. Is it as simple as it looks to remove it and replace the gasket? Is there a torque recommendation for the 2 bolts? Thanks in advance.

A friend has an old 8N that hasn稚 run in nearly 15 years. A friend of his offered to help him get it running. This tractor has been converted from 6 to 12 volts and the engine was rebuilt some years back. I thought an 8N was positive ground and commented to that as he put the battery on and...

Good Morning, I have a 9N that was built in 1940 that is burning oil and have no power. I decided to do rings and valves on it this winter but when I actually got into it I discovered that I simply couldn't handle pulling the front end off the tractor by myself. I'm 72 years old and have no...

I have an older Ford 9N which had a PTO driven buzz saw table attached. The flat belt saw had no guards so I removed it. I noticed the 3 point lift arms will not lift. Any advice on where to start to fix this? I have limited repair information (manuals) on how the system works and before I...

I would appreciate some advice on recommended hydraulic oil for my backhoe. I belive the backhoe is a Sherman, i am not sure of the front loader. Rear pto runs the backhoe, front pto runs the front loader. Have researched for recommended hydraulic ISO standard and keep drawing a blank. Anyone...

I am new to this tractor. It has 12v conversion already. Having issue with the starter switch not getting enough power to turn over the starter. What concerns me is it worked fine up until I cleaned the carb and replaced the gov. Now not working... Followed 12 9n wire diagram and got my...

I have a 9n thats been sitting so long that it had 5 stuck valves in it. One was so bad I had to pull the guide with the valve in it, and then work the valve out of the guide. The gasket set I got for it has rubber seals that look like they might go in the groove on the guide but there was no...

Good afternoon, have a 9n tractor, it starts great, (when cold), and runs great. After running for a couple of hours if I shut it off and try to start it again it cranks but will not start. I have to wait for it to cool off. Any ideas on what might be happening? Thanks

Recently I made a package deal on two tractors and a 4' Bush hog. One of the tractors is a 1939 Ford 9N that last ran a year ago. It turns over but won't crank. I believe the starting point is to clean out the gas tank, replace the fuel filter bowl and rebuild or replace the carburetor. My plan...

my son just got his late great grandfather's 9N and is tickled about it. I on the other hand have been tasked by my wife to get it running again and as our schedules very rarely work out I can't make it a bonding experience I just inherited another project. I bet Mr. Jack is smiling just knowing...

I'm working on this after customer tried to repair himself. It's a 9n tractor and customer says the engine is from an 8n . He replaced the carb and the governor. It idles but you move the throttle more than 3 notches it runs wide open. So how do i adjust this? Thanks for any help.

A friend of mine has a Ford 9n, and I am thinking of approaching him about buying it. He has no use for it. When last parked at least 5 years ago, it had no electricity going to the starter. Since then, it has sat out in the rain and snow in upstate New York. I do not know if the engine is...

My 1946 Ford 9n 3 pt hitch goes up but won't come down. I have a snowblower attached. It will go down after it sits a few hours.

I just wanted to introduce myself and say that I am so glad that I bought an older tractor instead of buying new ! I have a 1940 Ford 9N but the motor has been rebuilt.

My Ford 9N has been running rough the past four months. Basically it would sputter or drop in power every 5 seconds while mowing (not excessively high grass, maybe 3-4"). At first I just moved the throttle just beyond the highest bump on the throttle adjustment on the steering column to give it...

I have a 1942 Ford 9N that I've had for about 4 months now. I've noticed that it's been using a lot of oil, maybe 1 qt every 3 weeks when running about 8 hours per week give or take. Initially I attributed it to burning it up because the exhaust was leaving black residue on all of my...

I recently replaced the hydraulic lift control valve on my ford 9N tractor. I pushed the valve assembly into the hole in the pump below the pressure relief valve. It did not slide in easily. Now the lift raises slowly but stays in the up position. Any advice? Should the control valve slides...

I just purchased a 9n and it needs a water pump. It looks like this hood is in two parts. the grill and the back part that covers the gas tank and instrument cluster. Can the front part be taken off separately to allow access for radiator removal.

I started up my tractor, engaged the pto to run the mower, and began driving. Suddenly the mower lifted into the air. I stopped the tractor. re-engaged drive shaft on mower. Mower is now sitting on its wheels and the hydraulics do not appear to function. No hoses or valves on this one. Any help...

So my 9N is overheating like crazy and water is flowing out of the top pulley . The distributor gets wet then wont start till it dries out in a few days. I am assuming that this means my water pump is bad..... Based on my Chevy V8 experience of course. I have never worked on a flat head ford...

This is one of the bolts I need. Would like to get a set to have one extra.

Trying to learn more about my newly purchased tractor

I have rewired the tractor and put in new points and condenser. The tractor has been feeling low on power since I bought it and thought weak spark could be the problem. I now have it all back together and it seems even worse. The first thing I thought, is that I messed up the gap on the points...

Simple question maybe Is the ford 9n any good

I am restoring an old 9N that is 6v. I want to convert it to 12v sooner or later. The old battery is gone as it was junk. The generator was also missing when I bought this. So, before I go an buy a 6v battery and generator and upgrade it later, I have a few questions. I would consider just doing...

I have a Ford 9N and also an 8N. The 8N is 12 volts now and I expect to upgrade the 9N to 12v from 6v soon. My question is, will this PAR-46 Spotlight LED replacement bulb work on this tractor? I know the wattage is very low and it draws only 2.3 amps. I'd suspect that is less than what the...

I been trying to figure out since we bought our used 9N from auction as to why the throttle isn't able to properly control the governor from going full wide open throttle? I doesn't have to be dialed very far like 4-6 notches for the governor to go wide open revving the engine forcing me to...

Hi, I am in the market locally (Houston-ish) for a tractor. I have found two that I am looking at and they look almost the same to me. One is a Ford 9N and the other is a Ford 8N. They both are pretty darned old but they both look good. They both run well (the internet ad says so anyway). One is...

Years ago, I saw this gizmo, that you drive up on (or over), hook up 2 levers to the 3 pt lift arms--and presto, when you raised the 3 pt, it would raise all 4 wheels off the ground. Had some sort of allowance, so that only the rear wheels came up. I believe it was originally made by Dearborn...

I am looking at some implements that were used on a 8n or 9N. What kind of category hitch do these tractors normally use or have? 1? 2? or 3? Bob

Hi all,I have a problem with my 9n quitting after about an hour of hard work.It still has spark.I also pulled the plug on the bottom of the carb,and gas drained freely through.After it cools,it starts and runs normal.Any thoughts? thanks in advance,Stan

I don't know much about older tractotrs, so I wanted to find out the gues-stimated pricing on a 9N. I am unsure of hours or year. Well used condition but operable. Has turfs and Ag tires as well as a FEL. I think the trans was on the left hand side of the steering and a shutle shift (I think)...
