Locating the Coil on a 9n

I have a 9n which has been converted to 12v. I suspect the coil is failing because the engine cuts out when it gets warm. My problem is, that I can't determine what is the coil. I read in one of the other forum questions that I could replace the coil with a NAPA ICR13. I went down to NAPA and purchased one of these but I can't find anything on the tractor which resembles the ICR13. I would appreciate any help in describing what I should be looking for to find the coil on the tractor. As far as I can guess, the coil is mounted on the front side of the stering box. Is this correct? Or am I really off base.

Thanks.

Roger.

You may have a 9N but you may also have a 2N,
replacement motor and it may be magneato ign.
Not sure of this and am basing it on the 24
volt mag, ign, we had on our jeeps in the artic.
Been too many years but am sure if wrong someone
will correct it. Mr, Zane i belive is up to date on such things.

Roger, I'm certainly not qualified to make suggestions, but since I had exactly this same scenario myself with mine 2 summers ago, I'll offer up what ended up being my expensive (self-imposed only) problem. After I had jumped to conclusions and paid for a coil, new distributor cap, wires, and plugs, I finally realized how easy it is to get to the points and condensor. I had put that off, because the guy I bought it from had said he had just tuned it up, and I couldn't figure out how to get in there to the points without causing myself more problems than I needed. When I got smart and bought a book on it, I realized that removal of two lousy bolts put the whole distributor right in my palm, and that it was extremely simple to put back. I found that the the piece of the points set that rubs against the cam of the distributor had worn down, leaving the points barely able to separate at all, it became blaringly obvious that I needed new points (much cheaper) and that did the trick. Your problem could be caused I'm sure by several things, but that was my solution. Hope it helps.

The coil is mounted on top of the distributor on the front of the engine. The box that you think is the coil is the regulator. Hope that helps...

When us older mechanics installed points we always set the gap a little wide because the rubbing block would wear and seat rapidly to close the points up a bit. If not you would have to go back and re-gap the points shortly. Always put a little lube on the rubbing block. Also remember when the point gap changes so does your timing.
