Looks like an 8n to me
Seems like a very basic model or earlier version my grandfather was a master Ford tech and worked on them all his life about 60 years of it
It is an 8n, I had one for many years. It's a pain in the ass to start every spring and when your battery goes tits up make sure you remember it's a 6v system and don't throw a 12v battery laying around the barn into it (learned that one the expensive way)
Man that's unluck bro never had a hiccup with ours same battery for over 10 years. Dad's John deer now it's a machine but will eat a battery
I was working in an auto shop years ago and a farmer wanted to upgrade his old tractor (Farmall A or something) to 12 negative ground with an alternator. The alternator had an internal regulator so all we had to do was hook up one wire on the alternator to hot, swap the leads on the ammeter so charge was charge instead of discharge, and get some 12 volt lights. I was arguing with the boss, claiming that the starter would spin backwards because switched polarity, he said do it anyway, and it worked. I guess I was thinking of the little motors with permanent magnets reversing direction with a polarity switch, but apparently the stator fields in a starter reversed their field too, so it worked. I guess.
