I enjoy this forum and learn so much...but many of the discussion items surround problems and repairs. well, get this: My 9n? the one I hauled back on the interstate system in 5 hours of pouring rain and sleet, the one, that I power washed because I was psyched to show it to the wife, the one, that at 11:00 at night, I tried to start...beat-butt tired from driving all day, the one, that wouldn't start, the one that wouldn't start for 3 days later in rain and sleet, the one, that I towed my wife around the yard in, cuz that was the best I could do. Well, guess what? I bought a new battery...1,000 amps...the strongest battery I could find that would blow the head off this tractor yet fit in the battery compartment. Guess what!? It started, and I drove ths 59 year old tractor around in circles, hooting and hollering at dusk tonight. This 1941 9n with peeled paint, bent 3PTH, dented hood sides and grill, missing pieces, one headlight (not hooked up), rusted through seat...fired right up and ran. The lift worked, the PTO worked, the brakes worked, the clutch was smooth. It was the gosh darn battery after-all. Now I'm on my way. thanks to all who were so nice and encouraging. Next step, straightening arms, replacing the seat, and maybe oven and brake cleaner. 9n'er! No more tow rides now...
