Hello everyone, First time on here. I've looked at this site for a couple years now, mostly looking at the pictures. Since, I now live on a 200 acre farm, it was time to get me a tractor. about a month and a half ago, I bought at the time a '40 9N only to find out it is a '46 2N. Dont matter to me, the tractor is in real nice shape, came with a 6' blade, $1650.00. Problem is it was painted all red years ago. That will change next winter. I like to get them running A1 first, and I'll work it this year to make sure the engine is ok. The guy I bought it from was having coil problems. I put it in the shop, took off the hood, found no resistor, old wiring. Found a schematic on here, took all the wiring out, I rewired it per schematic, new plug wires, battery cables, battery, resistor (this is 6 volt) While I'm at it, had fuel tank cleaned, and lined, bought new shut off valve, sediment bowl combo (by the way, the new ones suck), I made new oil lines out of brake lines, and changed all the fluids. So now came the time to put the hood on and crank er up. She started right away, but was weak. Rechecked point gap, plugs, 3&4 were wet, but showed spark. Well maybe I had 2 backwards. I checked, no, 1,2,4,3 CCW just like I read many, many times on here. Checked timing. Checked my 04 manual. Said the hell with it for the night , had a few beers, I'll read more and figure it out in the morning. Next morning I get on here researching, and find Bobs diagram on here showing plugs from radiator 1,2,3,4. So I'm thinking, wait a minute, someone on here isnt right. Most say it is 1,2,4,3, so what the hell is going on? Then It Hit Me! As I said Duh, Hey dumb arse. The firing order is 1,2,4,3. The plugs are still 1,2,3,4 from the radiator back. So I went out and changed 3 & 4 on the distribitor, fired er up, and she ran like a raped ape. So if alot of people on here are thinking like I did, no wonder so many are getting it backwards. So any way, I would like to thank all of you very experienced people on here for sharing your tips and tricks on these "Ns". I read on here every day.
