Does someone want to help out a silly little girl?

[Soundguy]

You've gotten great info so far.

I responded to your PM.. hope youv'e got some time to read it.. it's a tad long-winded.

One thing I forgot.. sometimes the starter interlock is finicky, and you may have to jigle the tranny shifter a bit to make sure the starter button knows it is in neutral, so to speak.

Also.. if this has an automotive style switch, it may have been wired as a turn to start.. especially if has also been converted to 12v... etc.

See if there is a wire from the thumb button to the starter solenoid like someone else mentioned.

Get back to us with any particulars that might help us with specific advice.. like is it still 6v positive ground.. is it front or side mount distribuitor ( the method of changing the points, and the points gap is different between front and side mounts.. and there are tips and tricks to both.

You have got to be kidding me... “Does someone want to help out a silly little girl?” /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gifThat is THE question most guys live for… /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I do want to welcome you to this site, I would wish you well, but I have a feeling you will do ‘very well’… enjoy your tractor, other than a lack of power steering that ford is a timeless great little machine.

Welcome aboard, you'll do well here with an into like that.
What is not to like about someone rescuing old tractors? Just be carefull, and try not to "break" the brake pedal!


Best of luck with it, and simple has a place. A great tractor to restore!
