30mph might be an extension.
I've no experience with the N tractors, but my E27n with high ratio gear box (7.7) moves down the road just a bit too quickly at full throttle.
I can't imagine an N at that speed.

Re: Magneto trouble
If I recall correctly, A bad bobbin on my RF4 measured just less than 5K ohms A replacement bobbin (that actually would start the tractor under good conditions) measured right around 7K ohms.

There is a lot of fluid in the rear dif, get out your big pans and buckets for when you get that plate free.

Have any of you done anything with this feature?
I can imagine a dump trailer, after chaining down the lift arms.
Any calls on the pressure and flow rate (both ways)?

Re: Rear Wheels
I have read, that some/many/most E27n that went to Australia were supplied sans wheels, to be fitted locally by the Fordson dealers.
This practice may have been common for any export.
So wonder no more. It is common to see different wheels on Fordsons

Put some weight on them! ;-) Alternatively, if you look carefully at the base of the operator arm (hand control lever or what ever you choose to call it), you will see a headless screw with a stop nut. Loosen the nut and back off the screw a turn, and the lift levers will likely fall unloaded. That ...

The front end on my E27n (Row crop with adjustable axle) has been "hard" ever since I re-bushed the spindles. I've considered adding power assists as much as an engineering nightmare that would be. Up on jacks, the steering is light as a feather. I need to widen the front one notch sometime soon, an...

I'm pretty sure that Fordson didn't supply torque settings for any of the fasteners on any portion of the E27n. The mechanics were expected to use common sense. But there could be opportunity to consult torques values for similar sized fasteners in similar applications for those who had not develope...

Re: E27n Generator
I'm sure you don't need to disconnect anything.
Just a jumper between BAT and Field at the regulator will do. Our E27ns are positive earth, but that's all covered at the regulator terminals.
An internet search will provide hours of confusion... but worth the trip.
