Been struggling with 8N quiting erratically. I can mow all day at times and mostly lately it quits after about 15 to 45 minutes. It is an immediate cut out, no sputtering, backfire or other indications. Sometimes it immediately restarts and other times it must cool for 1- 3 hours. Have not had a problem in the winter. Most problems have been while mowing with a 5' brush hog in a fairly rough pasture.The tractor has the distributor mounted on the side and coil in front. It was converted to 12 volts. It has a resistor to reduce juice to points. Due to some earlier repairs the serial number is unreadable. Have replaced the ignition switch, coil (used Delco from car), checked the fuel filters in the carb - clean, and the shutoff bowl (had rust in it on the bottom), and it has new points and condensor. Two mechanics have told me the distributor looks fine with some wear. Primary wire seems grease free and mechanics say thats not the problem, although they don't have a clue. Its in the shop now and the mechanic has run it under load for 2 hours and has had it running with implements for 6 hours. Its cooler here in the NW today. Of course, it won't quit now. My neighbor has an 9N that does the same thing on occasion. AT times it seems to be when the tractor has been working for a while with a mild load and then a bump or wad of grass causes the governor to kick in. Can't imagine the govenor having anything to do with it. But of course our Governor is Jesse "the mind". Perhaps he is doing it? (:>) Help????? ????? ????? ????? ????
