Need some help!!! Part 2

Gentlemen,
I have a 9n with an 8n motor. I need to know which ignition resistor I should purchase - 9n(Part No: A8NN12250B) or 8n(Part No: A8NN12250A). (The old resistor is out of commission) I have also purchased a new wiring harness for an 8n front mount dist. but there are more wires than I have connections. I also need to know if it is OK to jump a 6 volt with a 12 volt battery at the starter (will it cause any harm?). I really appreciate all the help that you have given in the past and look forward to your future help.

P.S. I only have one wire connected on the bottom connection to the Cut Out Assembly (Picure above) For 2N, 9N, (Part No: B0NN10505A)There are connections for two. Problem?

Does this 8n engine still have the front mount distribuitor.. or does it hav ethe side mount distribuitor?

Also..if front mount.. did you keep the 9n 1 wire genny.. or do you have the 8n's 3 wire genny?

This will help us tell you what wire harness to use, and what to do with the cutout.

Also... as someone else said.. the 2 wires on the igniton switch.. they are both fnctionally the same.. wire them to the 3 terminal resistor and mounting plate.. your manual has an electrical schematic in it...

get back with us on the questions I posed..

Your cutout needs a connection to the armature, and then to the wire going to the back of the dash that provides ignition power and charge current to the battery.

As fer which "infamous ballast resistor" to use. Use the 2N 'cuz that is what yer tractor DASH is. Electrically, either "infamous ballast resistor" is the same. Physically, the mount is minor difference.

Using an 8N frontmount harness is gonna give you problems, 'cuz yer 2N-genny is a 1-wire 3rd-brush using a 2-terminal roundcan cutt-outt under yer battery tray on the steering column. The early 8N frontmount engine uses a 3-wire genny and 4-wire squarecan voltage regulator under yer oil pressure gauge.

BE SMART, yer tractor is a 2N, despite having an 8N frontmount engine, gitta 2N wiring harness and most of yer problems will disappear..... ...Dell

I have lots of questions. Here is another for you out there that know. I bought a new ignition switch at TSC and the wires are black and yellow. (Different colors than the old switch) Which one goes where on the ignition resistor?

I looked at that possibility but the old switch has horizontal connections while the new switch has vertical. If that makes any sense, let me know what you think.
