I have a 1954 8n with a front distributor that will not throttle up or down. I don’t have a lot engine experience and zero 8n tractor experience so forgive me if I sound stupid.
First some background. The tractor conveyed with the property and supposedly ran well the last time it was used 5+ years ago. It has had a 12V conversion on it.
