Funny how throwing a bunch of parts at something fixes it. Well, sort of. I now have spark but the damn thing still will not start. I think it is a carb issue. I took it apart twice and blew it out, but still nothing. I used the one from my 9N because it was working fine. The one I rebuilt...

That is kind of what I was thinking as well. This "should" be the final step in getting thos old tractor back to work.

I have not noticed any.

I finally broke down and bought new parts. I got everything for a good tune up. But before I install them I am concerned about the grooves in the cap. I understand that could be from excessive wear in the distributor. But could it also be from the cap getting installed incorrectly? Is it...

Looks like we will make another attempt in a couple weeks.

It has lower level outside access. I have been down the free horse road as well.

The thought crossed my mind. She was in my ear the whole time about it.

And I just hit the highlights.

A few months back I lost a cousin. He was a great guy and was taken from us far too soon. While we were up for the funeral his wife told me I should take his old Massy. I agreed and set forward on the plans to return with a trailer. Here is the catch though; he had taken it apart to do some work...

Nice.

That sounds like a good reason. That is why I do not want it hot at the back of the truck all the time either.

I should know better than to post from my phone and not read it. I meant why do I need the circuit breaker if I run all of the winch stuff separate from the truck's electrical system.

if I run all of this independent from the rest of the truck still at school system why would I need the circuit breaker?

I believe that is the answer. I am glad I asked the questions. Now all I have to do is locate a suitable switch and a location to install it. The other issue is the fuse. I hope to find an empty spot in the stock fuse block. That will help with the OE look I am going for.

Simple, cheap and high output, jut how like my women.

I like that idea.

So much for that idea. So I have to look for a hotter solenoid.

Good question. It is a stock starter solenoid for the same F250 I am installing everything on.

I am weighing my options on which engine to stab into my 72 Dodge D200 build. I do not know much about the Magnums and I think I may want to use one to replace my original 318. I want this truck to be a daily driver and pull trailers. Reliability and fuel consumption are my priorities. Moe than...

I have a bunch of these lying around. http://ww2.justanswer.com/uploads/CANDACE88G/2010-12-18_171620_ford_starter_solon_next.jpg Would that do the trick or is there a difference? It would be nice to use a stock piece.

What type of solenoid should I use? Where in the line should the fuse be? In the wire to the switch? Or do I run a large one on the cable?

I look into the solenoid thing a bit further. I was trying to keep it simple, but a single power wire running into the cab sounds easier to install. If I do go that route, I am guessing I do not need a fuse.

I want to keep it simple, but I do kind of like the idea of a small wire in the cab instead.

I like that, it looks almost OE. That is kind of what I had in mind. I think if I install it correctly it will almost look like it came with the truck.

The keyed switch s the style I normally use. But because this is going in the interior of my wife's truck, I wanted it to "blend" a bit better. I have looked at toggle switches but I could not find one that can handle that kind cable and power. The Flaming River stuff is nice. I have used many...
