John on those Fords I have both a 41 9N and a 44 2N that Dad bought new in May of 44. They had that stupid voltage reducer in them to cut the voltage to the points. You do not need that as it does nothing but make the tractor hard to start. We ran the 8 volt battery in the 2N for 40 years to get enough voltage for it to start and that made it 6.4 volts to points instead of that 4.2 the reduser made. A 6 volt battery would not start the tractor with that reducer so that is why we went to the 8 volt Also used 8 volt in the 1950 International truck. Back a few years the 8 volt went bad so got a 6 volt and put in , tractor hardly started but got by for a while. Then started diying at all times fould after several switches the condensor. But in that time I decided to bypas that resistor and altho the dying continued it started better and run better bypassing that resistor so it has been that way ever since. Finally traced the dying problem to the condensor and go that fixed but no problems with burning points. And the 41 H Farmall and 49 B John Deere converted to distributor, both 6 volt batteries never had a problem with points burning with full 6 volts to system. Anybody with a Ford with that resistor should take it out of the system and starting problems will be over. That resistor being the cause of hard starting is probably why so many are converted over to 12 volt systems while just removing wire from resistor and splicing would take care of the problem. With my starting-dying problem I kept the orignal switch in going thru that resistor as factory. Put a seperate switch in going thru resistor and 3 switch bypassing that resistor. Using the orignal setup or the bypas switch and resistor it would start to miss and soon die but if i would while it was running but missing flip on the switch that bypassed the resistor then it would start running smooth while turning switch going thru resistor off. So for last several years only use switch putting full 6 volt to points and no point burning problems. This 44 tractor pulled the plow and disk for years and also combine on PTO as well as corn picker, Was only tractor Dad had from 44 to 57 when he bought a 38 A John Deere.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
