My grandparents have a 1943 2N that they've owned for most of its life (they've had it as long as my Dad, born in '45, can remember). It sees light duty grading the gravel lane, sometimes mowing the pasture, and plowing the lane (on the odd occasion that the tractor will start in the winter). I've got a number of questions, but I'll post them in separate messages to keep the topics separate.While trying to fix a number of things on this tractor, my Dad (the only one who drives it any more) pointed out that the choke knob must be manually held out any time you want the choke engaged. If you let the knob go, it'll spring back to the "open" position. Looking at the choke mechanism, I see absolutely nothing that might try to leave the choke set where you put it. My dad said it used to stay put before he paid a guy to R&R the tractor a few years ago. Is there supposed to be some part there that got removed? If so, can anybody post a picture or something of what needs to be installed to keep the choke where you put it? I think that's the last of my questions, at least until I get some responses. Thanks in advance.
