WIRING DIAGRAMS FOR FORD 9N and 2N TRACTORS

Original 6 Volt System, Upgraded 6 Volt System, and 12 Volt Conversion Diagrams for 9N and 2N Front Distributor Tractors.

The first 6 volt diagram shows the original 1 wire generator and cutout configuration. Many 9N and 2N tractors will have been upgraded to the 8N "B" type generator, and replaced the original cutout relay with a voltage regulator. The first 6 volt diagram below is for those who happen to have the original system, or want to restore their tractor to the original configuration. Scroll down for other 6 volt systems, and 12 volt conversions.

"War Tractors"

The earliest 2N tractors built during World War II were shipped without batteries, or starters. The choke knob was relocated to the front grill area so the owner could pull the choke while operating the hand crank. There was essentially no electrical system on these tractors. Sparks were generated by a magneto that replaced the conventional distributor. Remember the old pull-start lawnmowers? The early 2N tractors were also on steel wheels. All rubber, and electrical components were being diverted to military vehicles. The restrictions were soon lifted. Tractors would increase farm production, which was also good for the war effort. Most early 2N tractors were upgraded with rubber tires and electrical systems that were basically identical to the earlier 9N tractors.
