Im about to work on a 2N that hasnt run for 20 years.
Hello Rachel and hello father, electrical work for the electrical circuit in the car, excellent illustration 👌
Very nice great job! Great information! 👍
Its says something when people spend time on a 70 year old tractor to help it continue on working for them. I'm sure that a lot of the newer tractors available will not be around in 70 years.
Rachel madam very nice information very good👌👍🇮🇳🇮🇳🚜🚜😀😀
I'm having difficulty understanding the connection of the key switch to the starter button. I don't see how they are connected. If the key was not turned to the on position would the starter button still allow the engine to turn over, it just would'nt have spark until the key was on?
Do you have to put a 12-volt starter in you didn't say anything about the starter
I purchased the side distributor basic kit and have noticed there are no fuses in the lines. Where should I put fuses?
Can y'all show how to put an external resistor on
Sorry, but some of us want to keep the 6v system. (Nostalgia, unmodified). How about selling 6v kits to re-wire worn out components?
I purchased alternator ,solenoid, coil,Amp Guage,terminal block,switch,negative terminal wire(braided),and wiring harness I have it all hooked up exactly like the diagram in the book says to but when I go to hook up the negative terminal to the negative post it arcs help please do you have any ideas?
My bad thankyou figured it out
@@ryanverelli9049I'm having this exact issue, what was your fix?
Rachel, I like your youtube shows but my son and I just converted our 601 just the way you showed us but when we turn the key on it won't even turn over we can go from the solenoid to the starter with a jumper cable and it will turn over but not with the new push button switch and we hooked the yellow wire to the solenoid and to the push button like you said what could be wrong everything shows we have fire could the solenoid be bad?
Maybe a 601 is wired differently than an 8n
Rewired my 8n according to the video. Starts and runs fine. Only problem, it stays running when the key is turned off. What might the problem be?
Did you use a one-wire alternator as demonstrated? The trouble you're describing is typical of an automotive two-wire or three-wire alternator that is back-feeding.
I have a question, should the tractor crank over regardless of ignition switch position?, either way I’m not getting spark at the plugs, I have a new coil that I have not installed yet the only other thing I didn’t change is the starter regulator, cap and rotor and points and condenser are all new, brand new battery, positive and negative cables, older wires but seem ok, any thoughts would be appreciated, thanks
Hey John, did you ever get an answer to this? I have everything hooked up but no spark at the plugs. I’ve tried everything.
How do I get a new wiring harness from you?
they have a link in the description where you can order parts from their website.

What would be the problem if the tractor gets hot and it shut down
So ive got a 57 600, its converted to 12volt, and i keep having issues finding a decent ignition switch. Im a little torn because everyone seems to sell the keyed 2 post switch, but, ive bought a couple bad out of the box ones from tractor supply. I'm about to try a equally cheap dorman switch with the 3rd start position that i geuss ill ignore? I dont exactly want to just throw a toggle switch in and make it the easiest thing to steal, but, i havent had good luck with those 2 post switches. Any advice?
These folks are great and they sell good parts.
In your video, you are showing the battery positive wire going to the solenoid terminal. But my tractor, actually, it is the negative battery wire going to this terminal (Chassis is +6V). If I do it like your did in the video, will it reverse the starter rotation ?
What happened to the old voltage regulator? I'm starting the conversion, not sure how to handle the 6v regulator. It looks like you bypassed it completely?? Thanks!
I cannot find where the orange wire goes for the lighting. I have decided to use the headlights and I just cannot find any info on how to hook up the headlights. Love the videos, thanks !!
Perfect tutorial, I own and work on a lot of antique tractors and I always struggle with the electric part, currently working on an 8N that I bought, had a 3 position switch on it and a few extra wires that I could not figure out, it was already converted to 12v some time in the past, I simplified everything based on your tutorial, will see how I did this afternoon after I go to town and buy a battery, but gonna change the oil and filters first, thanks again
Do this and get ready to start buying starter springs 12 volt makes starter to engage to hard and will break the spring
I just bought a 49 Ford 2 n trying to learn how to set or adjust draft control or however you want to put it . Could you please make a video on how to set rear blade height and adjustment PLEASE !!!
If I pay the small fee can you provide a common reverse polarity wiring diagram?
I just bought a 52 8n, discovered the charging system doesn't charge and its a mess of wires everywhere... I said oh heck no. So I ordered a premium conversion kit from you. I hope it works out.
What would be the problem if the tractor gets hot and it shut off
Thank you! Finally was able to get an 8N with a horrible wiring job so this helps me.
I have a 8n Ford I bought but the charging system is not working.
It has a 2 plug alternator and not running the ports on your video and also it's been changed from points to electronic ignition what can I do to get everything working so I can use my new tractor
Are not connected like in the video
Why the re-upload?
part number of the coil?
How do I know if I need a 1 or 2 wire harness?
Great video as always Rachel.
Question, a buddy of mine had an issue, after changing everything over to a 12 volt system the start/neutral button would turn the engine over with the key off, it wouldn’t actually start the engine because there was no voltage to the distributor coil with key off but it did energize the starter solenoid & try to turn the engine over. I didn’t think it that was right but he said it was. I was just wondering
5.07pm central. How to purchase alternate kit for ford8n. All hanging supports.
I recently purchased a ford 8n with side mounting distributor and have ordered the 12v conversion kit. My question is is there a use for the voltage regulator now? Haven’t seen any videos on them being wired up in this system. First thing I did was yank out All the wiring and old connections to replace with new but still have the voltage regulator mounted.
8N Ford stuck in gear, fluid is good. Starts well with clutch engaged. Is this a time consuming and expensive fix ? For your next video. Maybe???
Thanks for this video. I recently bought a '52 8N with a 12v conversion. It was a home job using really janky parts. I will order your premium kit and a few other goodies to make my tractor great again.
Rachel you are the best
Please call back Mr dan and Rachel for my ford 3600,l living in India.
I love this. Thank you!
Thank you for the valuable information, but please wear mechanic gloves to protect your neat hands 😊
Have a 3 wire Alt and having heck of a time with proper wiring
Is this video déjà vu? I know I saw this a week or two ago. Thumbs up again.
I've watched her from the beginning. I can say she has become great at explaining how ro do a job requires .
Help me alot
How how much is a wiring 8n showing how to do the wiring 50 to 52
Great information.Thanks😊
Don't you have to change the starter from a 6 volts to a 12 volts starter?
No, that is not necessary.
yee yee I love this stuff
I've heard there is problems converting to a 12 volt system. The one I find most concerting is that the flywheel is getting damaged as the starter is spinning faster. Have you seen happen?
The flywheel should not get damaged from spinning faster unless something prevents the engine from rotating. These are low compression engines. A properly tuned engine should start quickly. It would not be a good idea to keep cranking the engine too long if converted to 12 volts. That can cause the 6 volt starter to overhead and fail. When you convert to 12 volts, you are doubling the current flow through the starter.
When volts go up, amperage goes down.
Good lik
Great teaching/salesmanship!
Awesome video 👍
I may have missed it but there’s no need for any sort of resistor in the line?
Only if you are still using a 6 volt coil.
@@hotrodjosh thank you!
I looking for a side distributor conversion.
It is factory designed front mount or side mount. Not changeable.
@@Giversum thank you for the reply
Great video Rachel. See you on your next video.
