I know nothing about the 12 volt conversions. I have a 2N Ford since May of 1944 when it came to us new when I was just a few months old. That resistor on the dash should never have been put in at factory. You will find it is the cause of most starting and running problems. Get rid of it and they will start and run just fine on the 6 volt. The reason 8 volt batteries were put in was to get the voltage up high enough to start the tractor because that 4.6 volts comming out of that resistor just is not enough to do it. It will not make the points to burn if you get rid of it. It will let the points have the same power to them as JD, IHC and Chevy ran on all the time. It will also make the tractor stop after running for a while and perhaps be able to get it started again after an hour. I was having that running trouble and after replacing several switches and other parts I took a wire and bypassed the resistor with its own switch. With the factory switch it would not run good or shut off. With that extra switch when it srarted to run bad and die just turn that extra switch on and run perfect and shut offfactory switch and still ran perfectly. Turn factory switch back on and shut off the extra switch and it would start to die, turn the extra switch back on and it would come to life again. Rite now tractor is down for head gasket replacement that was put in back in either 70's or early 80's.

Today's Featured Article - Restoration Story: Fordson Major - by Anthony West. George bought his Fordson Major from a an implement sale about 18 years ago for £200.00 (UK). There is no known history regarding its origins or what service it had done, but the following work was undertaken alone to bring it up to show standard.
