When I first started in Maintenance/Machine Repair I was taught to do an annual inspection of every machine. I was to go through and completely tighten and check every connection, fitting, bolt, screw, nut, or nail for tightness and continuity.
That’s what I am doing with the 8N.
As soon as I realized that it was a multiple failure problem I began checking off boxes on the annual maintenance.
This time I am cleaning connections. At the same time I am checking for continuity and torquing the connections.
It’s tedious, but when I’m done I will know exactly what is wrong and how to fix it.

You are a strong old man. I have to use a big old spud bar to move mine.👍
Leverage. Those big wheels give me a 3 foot long advantage.😁😎😎It doesn't hurt that I use to lift weights for fun and entertainment.
I can see some videos coming on repairing a battery charger and more diagnostics.....I like the experience of being a viewer on here.....it keeps this old guy watching and wondering.....CHEERS
I have another charger! Similar in design to the big one you rebuilt. I will be attempting to make it work.
I think your shop is like my shop...the place where ONE project quickly turns into THREE !! I've got a super nice old, OLD roll around charger I bought at auction for a buck or two. It's great for electrolysis rust removal, and will be great for charging batteries if I ever get around to finding out why its output is only 10.5 volts on the 12 volt setting. LOL Good video my friend on the trials and tribulations of messing around with old tractors !!
I have a bigger one in the basement that I haven't even tried yet. This one is driving me to try the bigger one. 😁😎
How's she goin'? Trouble shooting is an art for sure. But when your gear isn't working, trouble shooting is a lost art!!! LOL Take care!!!
AT 5 years old I rode on my dads Ford 8 n hood when plowing. great memories.
Ryan rode in the cab on my first 8N.
Good cleaning and check the battery charger. Right now a battery charger is probably cheaper than a battery. I replaced the battery my truck it was a 186 dollars. Good luck. Thanks 😊🙏
Everything is too expensive. I will be disassembling the charger and checking it.
Bummer. Glad you found the charger was not working. Amazing how things can stop working when you need them. "Murphy" always looking to cause problems.

Problems are bad enough one at a time. When they link up 2 or 3 at a time it gets confusing.
Good old dielectric grease that people says don't work will help. The 8N don't have a lot to make a draw with. Ought to be easy to trace out. One of my chargers won't charge unless there's some juice left in the battery. I have to fool it with the other old Sears charger that's hot all the time and then it'll take off. The vehicles are fine as far as starting. The 2 riders are but I need to warm the Gravely up and even use it a little. Sumpee. The 8 will fire if not already done working and back in the tent. GBWYall!
Not the first time I traced the wires onban old machine.
@@Weaver_Drafting I think the commentors on Watch Wes Work cuss the dielectric. Not me! I'm like your Grandpap and believe in grease of all kinds. I have all my electrical stuff in a Stanley box but need to get a spare bottle for in the shed. And the way the charger sounded there's probably a loose wire in there and that's all. Unc'll find it. Happy mowing and practicing for white stuff!
@@OldSneelock Likewise.
I'm predicting that you'll get the charger working but the switch may still be a little fussy and might need repair or replacing.
Definitely needs a new switch. 😁😎
Wow, a bad charger? I have an ancient charger that still charges, but very slowly, and the meter on the front is stone dead. Confused the heck out of me at first.
Anyway, thumbs up and thanks for posting!
It worked fine for 20+ years then like everything else it is showing it's age
Corrosion I can help you with. We (aviation industry) used this by the gallon daily. Coat ALL connections and exposed circuits.

BUT..... if your a cheap-skate like we both are, a good 'ol coating of vaseline will do in a pinch.
@@nemo4907 I have a tube of dielectric grease left from the electric scooter project. I will try that. Thanks for the tip.
That battery charger will not put out unless a battery is hooked to it. Common problem with motorcyclists and our teenie little bike batteries. If we run a jumper to a larger battery, the charger will kick on.
I know I am late to the party and you already know this by now.
It lost a rectifier.
The other one is working and I haven't spent time on fixing the missing rectifier.
Some help. I own a ford 8n that won't start, good spark, repl carb fuel comes out where the air intake is, but I took out one spark plug shot some fuel into it replaced plug and it ran for 2 seconds. Could it be a leaky intake manifold keeping it from sucking the fuel uphill into the engine
Possible.
Fuel coming out of the carb indicates the float valve is staying open. Pretty common with the 8N. I had to shut off the fuel valve so the tank wouldn't run dry.
That will cause the engine to flood.
I would check the float to make sure it is closing off the needle valve.
To check the gaskets, Squirt some 30-weight oil on the intake gaskets. That will temporarily plug up any leaks.
@@OldSneelock thanks i will try that it will probably be a while before i get around to it
If I had a dime for every time I said those words I would pay someone else to get around to it for me.😁 😎
My line for stuff like tnis.....Everything hasta turn into a project!
Mushroom jobs. 😁😎

Is that a Simpson meter?
It was made by Amprobe back in the 80's. It operates similar to the Simpson brand analog multimeters. 😁😎
put a battery cut off switch on it that will stop the drain
That would solve that problem while it isn't running.
I will be finding the root cause. It might be it stopped with the points closed.
Tractor turns over but no spark to start the engine...
Check the points and condenser. I have to clean the points on mine every few years.
If yours shows signs of arching on the points the condenser and points should both be changed. 😁😎
@@OldSneelock will try
What in communism's name is the rolling statements at the end of this?
Look up FCC vs RUclips.
