    Still amazed with these old ford tractors

    I told a relative I was building a septic tank with the Sherman Power Digger bolted up to my 8N. He said I need a real backhoe. I asked him if he bought one or like the one he keeps borrowing. Those are the Internet folks that constantly have to have something better. I sent him the cover photo...

    1965 D15 Power Steering And Governor

    Bought an I&T and found the correct rod to bend and rod placement. The wear in the governor is likely the endplay I can feel in the shaft.

    I could have been there myself. Thanks Kirk and Hobo.

    Yeah, outside the few Internet folks that can't do this that or the other with them, they still hold their own work load. I like them.

    I'm buying it: 1951 Ford 8N

    One thing that wasn't pointed out is you likely had a piston at BDC for the 20 years it sat. With the cylinder being smaller at the bottom you might have stuck rings. The recommended compression test would probably find that out or for certain a leak down test would tell you. There are a few...

    Is it possible to switch a side mount 8N block to a front mount setup?

    The way things are with parts these days you might be better off having your clutch rebuilt. Set up a dial caliper on the block where you can rotate the three fingers underneath it to set for a smooth operating clutch.

    1965 D15 Power Steering And Governor

    💩💩💩check the adjustment of the governor linkage, as this is many times what is wrong: Engine OFF. Hand throttle wide open. Remove left hood. Above the generator is the governor linkage. Remove the cotter pin from the carburetor link rod and let the link rod drop out of the governors cross arm...

    1965 D15 Power Steering And Governor

    Hello, it's a gas engine. It sat for a while before I bought it. Just bought it to lift materials up and let trash down from my roof. After a while of putting around the house a couple of problems developed. Gradually the engine speed got to where RPM's are all in just under ¼ throttle and it...

    He used the front mount distributor. Did he also have to swap the camshaft?

    I had a 40 with a 51 engine. I think just the generator brackets were made. It was complete when I bought it.

    Installing a turbocharger on a 9 n ford

    The 9N is almost a 2 liter maybe the low rpm demand would turn the choke point into just right. There are online calculators that will get you close. I used one from a Mopar man. Forget his site. It got me close when scavenging for parts when I set up a little 352 tow rig. When I was looking for...
