[Ford-ferguson] Re: [oldfordtractors] Starter/Engine casing problem

[Mike Sloane]

This note came to me from another list. I don't know the answer to 
Elton's question, but I think it would be interesting to those of us who 
have a 9N/2N to find the answer. Does anyone know about this problem? 
Wrong starter? I have a vague feeling that I saw this discussed once 
before but can't recall...
