[AT] More Ford Jubilee Adventures

[Cecil R Bearden]

There is a way you could install a continuous solenoid in the power 
line, and install a pressure switch in the oil line to keep it on when 
the tractor is running. To start, you would bypass the pressure switch 
by connecting the solenoid to close when you hit the starter switch.

A diagram would be easier than the word description.  The old Massey 50 
diesel I grew up with used a continuous solenoid that was energized when 
the oil pressure built up.  To start, you just cranked it since there 
was no fuel solenoid.

Here is a link to points and condenser for the Ford, I couldn't believe 
it was from Sears, but DB electrical did not have it on their web site.....
