I'm trying to get an 8N started. I suspect timeing as there is spark but it won't even bark on ether...

the bolt / crank arbor(????) is missing.
I tried a 9/16 th fine thread butit just wobbles in and out.
next size bolt is 5/8th and seems too big. It is difficult to get my big hands in there to turn a 5/8th fine thread. I hangit in there with a wire and then try to turn.

Does anyone know what size and thread.
the pn is 2n-63198a1 but is no longer available. and i just called the dealer so I did not get to look at the computer to see what exactly it is.
I can turn trhe engine witha wrench like a car but I need to know the bolt size.
or a place to get theh part ...

Just WA guess but I've read that long ago Ford used their own thread standards, not SAE. If that bolt has its own 2N... Ford part #, that could be what you encountered here.

I wouldn't try to force something in before you talk to someone familiar with these.
