SOURCE: Ford 8N will not start when hot

This sounds like a bad fuel pump to me. The only way to be sure is to check the fuel pressure when cold, probably around 45 PSI. Then when it get hot it will drop way down to 10 or 15 PSI. Check the pressure if you can, or change the fuel pump.

SOURCE: Starter on ford 8n tractor will not engage.

Did you check for voltage at the starter connection at the starter connection AFTER the solenoid.......when the solenoid is energized?
Just because it clicks does not mean it is sending power through.
Does the starter have a good clean ground?
Use a battery booster cable and supply your own battery power right to the starter to check it.Try grounding it too with the other battery booster cable.The starter drive is only used when the starter is turning as it is thrown out into the teeth of the flywheel...cranking the engine and back out away from the flywheel when the starter stops turning.

SOURCE: my 8n ford tractor has a new starter and started

The most likely cause of your problem is that the bendex drive on the starter is hanging up. This is caused by the return spring in the drive assembly breaking. First remove the battery cables then Pull the two bolts holding the starter to the block and remove the starter. It should drop out if it is difficult most likely bendex is still engaged just wiggle around until starter comes out.
NOTE: take caution as to not let end caps of starter come off. the bendex can be replaced by itself or you can purchase a starter with new drive bendex on it already.

to test if your push button is sticking take an ohm meter and test from terminal post to block or top of transmission where mounted if you get a reading of continuity then you have a bad starter button you can search for this part number 8N11500. The starter button just screws into the transmission cover and does have a gasket (pn 8N11529) and dust boot for the terminal. it is real easy to remove be sure area around is free of dirt you don't want that in your tranny.

No offence to HOGobal; putting a push button on the guage(aka dash plate ) is a bad ideal. The transmission mounted push button serves to keep the starter locked out if the tractor is in gear and yes the 2N,9N,8N,,NAA will start in gear and take off possiblely causing damage to your property,self and tractor. I have repaired to many push button remounts and have personally seen a 8n over come its park brake and run into another vehicle cause massive damage to the other vehicle. due to heavy duty push bar bumper assembly on tractor.

Wiring a selonoid

http://www.ntractorclub.com/

The link above is just one of a dozen or more very helpful websites for Ford 8n tractors.
The original 8n tractor had a six volt battery with positive ground (this is different than most automobiles that have a negative ground). The starter solenoid is energized via the ignition switch and the large starter button in front of the gear shift, the small wires going to the solenoid energize a coil which "pulls in" and completes a circuit that then provides 6 volts directly to the starter motor through a large, heavy gauge wire. The smaller wires connect to the two terminals on the top of the solenoid and the heavy wire goes to the larger post on the solenoid and originates from the negative post of the battery... Hope this helps. There are many, many schematics and pictures available on the "net" The Ford 8n community is very large and extremely helpful....Good Luck

I changed my 1950 ford over to 12 volt and it sat for over 1 year now it wont start so I changed the solinoid ,and ignition switch ,battery,battery terminals and it still wont start and no lights

hey
Recheck the battery connections for crud.Clean battery post/cables and where cables connect to the frame and starter solenoid as sometimes the tractor power feed is at the solenoid.
Good Luck
O if you have a meter or 12volt trouble lamp you can measure across the connection for a voltage drop. With the lights in the on position.

I have a Ford 8n with a new battery, solenoid and starter switch. The tractor was running fine, I shut it off for a few minutes while changing the hydraulic oil and when I turned the key on I had no...

8N's are positive ground negative run...hence the negative wire to the battery. Try jumping the starter solenoid and see if you have a bad solenoid. A second answer could be in your battery. You have a 6 volt battery so be sure to check the charge on the battery.

Ford 8N wont start

It sounds like the conversion was more trouble than it was worth. I won't claim to have the solution to your problem having never worked on an 8N, but I was wondering about the capacity of the points and condenser in the distributor. If the condenser is not 12 V also, it might be causing the points to melt which would keep from getting a spark at the plugs. Check the condenser for voltage rating and also check if you are getting a spark at the plugs by unscrewing a plug, reconnecting the high tension lead, and hold the edge of the plug against the block while cranking using thick leather gloves, insulated pliers, rubber, or other non-conductive material to keep from getting shocked.
