I will try to make a long story short. About 4 years ago I bought a 47 2N Ford at auction. It looked good, had new tires, had been changed to 12 volt but the wiring was a birds nest. It wasn't stuck but didn't know if it ran. Ended up getting it for $400 and hauled it home. Started tinkering with it and found the gas tank was rusted BAD and sediment bowl was cracked. Opted for new gas tank, fuel shut off, and sediment bowl. Found all the bolts broken that hold the front wheels on and wheels were welded to the hubs. Found used wheels and hubs at a tractor show. I then got busy and the tractor sat in my garage for awhile. Finally got around to fixing the wiring and got a new coil, points and plug wires. Installed new tank, put some gas in it, hit the starter and eureka it runs. Drove it around the barnyard a bit. No smoke or engine noise so down the road I go. Drove it down to the crossroad and turned around. Half way back it died and wouldn't start again. Ok, figured the carb needs cleaned. Cleaned carb and installed a rebuild kit and it fired right up. Took it last fall to plow my parents garden and brought it back and put it in the garage. Fast forward to this week and I went to start it and got no spark. It's a front mount distributor so I removed distributor and coil and found the points to be out of adjustment. Adjusted points and pu'tt it back on the tractor and still no spark to the plugs. So here I go, take it off the tractor and adjust and clean and lube and put it back on still nothing. Off again and on again on, off, on, off, on #^%%&%&#%$#$^ I will wait til later. Last night I go out determined to get this thing going. First thing I have to clean off work bench from previous project. Start putting away tools and things back where they belong and there it is. The answer to all my problems. Laying on the bench was the rotor that is supposed to go under the distributor cap. Put it back on and it fired right up. Now you know why I don't post alot. It reveals too much about myself. ROFL
Hope everyone got a good chuckle at my expense. LOL
