Scotty, Apparently you have tried a couple of resistors on your tractor? The way a resistor works, it has to be powering a load (Current flowing through it) to show a voltage drop across the resistor. You must have checked the voltage on both sides of the resistor with the breaker points open, so there was no current flowing in the ignition circuit. That is why you got the 12 Volts in and out. If you still have one of the resistors, try it again, and start the engine, and use an analog voltmeter to check the voltage on the switch side of the coil for the 5-7 Volt range I posted before. If you are within that range, you SHOULD be OK. The reason for using the analog voltmeter is that a lot of digital meters will be affected by the EMF produced by the ignition and charging system, and may go "nuts" and read incorrectly. An analog meter is less sensitive to the electrical "noise".

The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
