Got the 9N home, just bought it Saturday. Motor is stuck, but I’ve started in on some of the tips and techniques I’ve read here to get it freed up—if at all possible.
Drained almost full tank of fresh gas from it, took out the battery and noticed it’s positive ground. Kinda weird, but ok. Battery itself is an 8 volt and I’m guessing this was a 6 volt system. More strangeness.
Looks like very good rubber on rear, but it’s old. I see some cracks and so on. Everything holds air, so that’s good. Not like the tractor is going to do any work, so I’m not worried about it. It’s retired now.
It’ll be outside for the winter until I can get a good tractor/wood shed built—and even then it’ll still be in freezing temps. A little bit of green hue to the coolant, was wondering if there’s a way to winterize a non-running motor? I want to make sure there’s antifreeze all through the engine. I opened a petcock sticking out the left side of the block, assumed it was for coolant. Nothing came out.
All in all, very happy with the new arrival. I’d appreciate any suggestions or thoughts about keeping the engine block from freezing/cracking in the cold months.
