Chris Faulkens wrote on Wednesday, June 02, 2004 (PDT):My grandfather owned a 1952 Ford 8N w/ a V8 engine. He passed away a couple years ago and I am trying to sell the tracotr for my grandmother. It does run, however it currently needs a new voltage regulator. I am going to check on it next weekend and will email pictures to anyone interested. Just contact me by email.
Dennis G. Allison wrote on Friday, May 28, 2004 (PDT):I just purchased a 1949 8N Ford at least the seller says "that it is to the best of his knowledge", anyway it has been converted to 12 volt, but the ajuster rod that holds the alternater belt tight is hitting the alternater keeping it from tightening the belt up!The rod is bolted down onto the front head bolt. Can anyone tell me if there is another rod that I can use that does not hit the alternater and if so would it bolt to the front head bolt as well?
