[Ford-ferguson] question

Good catch on the ignition switch possibility--had a similar problem and 
was able to resolve it by jiggling the switch as I rotated it through 
all the positions.  Definitely worth a check as well.  There should be a 
simple voltmeter check for this one, but on an 8N I am not sure where to 
test.
