Ford TW-20 - Troubleshooting transmission leak + labeling parts
I've gotten so busy that I really don't have time to work on my tractor. I'm going to let my husband do some of the work since he wants it running. I've got a shop manual and the operators manual and I've been trying to label some parts for him to look at. I need to also troubleshoot a... -

'DIY' Tractor Tools/Implements
I'm a bit on the 'poor' spectrum, I've not got the spare money to buy things that would generally be useful on my little homestead. The tractor is a lifesaver for saving money in other ways- but there are plenty of implements I can't afford new, and can't find used cheap enough either. So I'm...- AlyM

53 NAA cranking then dying immediately
I am using a factory replacement sediment bowl, and that makes logical sense on why there's 1" of gas and it isn't getting it all. Good info there. Follow up question. How much fuel should the tractor be using? I see troubleshooting advice for if the tractor is using more than average fuel...- AlyM

53 NAA cranking then dying immediately
Y'all, I am embarrassed. I feel like a fool. Perhaps though, there may be something wrong, and you guys can help me with it... First, let me describe what happened last night. I took the whole air cleaning system off and cleaned the heck out of it. Refilled that oil cup, put it back up...- AlyM

53 NAA cranking then dying immediately
What I did yesterday, which I thought was how you check for spark, is I pulled the spark plugs out one at a time, and held the spark plug 1/4" from a piece of metal on the tractor (the hood or engine), plugged in to the wire still, and turned the key over to see if it sparked. All plugs did...- AlyM

53 NAA cranking then dying immediately
Latest updates... went out and towed the tractor back to my carport so I could work on it without being eaten by mosquitos. Pulled spark plugs out and tested each one - they worked well. A bit dirty though, photos attached. Cleaned off that dirty thing and realized it wasn't mesh underneath...- AlyM

53 NAA cranking then dying immediately
Let's see what I can address... 1. The battery is 12v. I've got it on charge now 2. I'm posting pics of the oil cup and it had almost no oil in it. I'll clean and add oil. 3. Also posting pic of the air intake. Very dirty. Should I clean it? 4. neighbor came over and said it isn't firing...- AlyM

53 NAA cranking then dying immediately
This has happened on and off since I got it, but it's not starting back up now. I'm still struggling through learning about tractors in general. Recently purchased (actually traded a vehicle for this tractor). Not a pro - I'm just a young adult trying to manage my home. I've got 10 acres of...- AlyM

Brush hogging tall grass and plants with a smaller tract
Thank y'all for all the helpful tips. Sorry I have been MIA. I've been nonstop sick. I'm hoping today I can get out there and try out some of the tips. I'll start with the stuff close to the road that is brush hogged by someone else (city? state? friendly neighbor?) and down the drive way where...- AlyM

Brush hogging tall grass and plants with a smaller tract
Hello yall. Here for some advice. I'm getting my tractor soon, a 53 ford naa (jubilee). It's a bit smaller than the mm I'm used to and with the mm being broken for all season, the grass is above my head in areas. The last thing I wanna do is damage the tractor the day I get it, so I want to ask...- AlyM

Getting a 'new' tractor - give me advice to not screw up
@petertay and @Tom in Mo. - I am not a short-lawn kinda person, I like to brush hog on the highest setting. Do you think this would be possible with this tractor, or I should find a smaller model brush hog? No way I can afford a new one - I'd have to barter around to find something used and... -

Getting a 'new' tractor - give me advice to not screw up
So if you look at my post history, I've made some mistakes, being naieve. Those mistakes cost me my beloved tractor. But I'm still young and inexperienced and I want to learn preemptively instead of learning the hard way like I did with my old tractor. So this tractor is a 1953 Ford NAA. The... -

I don't see anything wrong with the head? More eyes ple
When pouring water in the radiator, the water immediately leaked rapidly back out, between the two heads. I was told it was likely a blown head, head gasket, etc. [see previous post history?]- AlyM

I don't see anything wrong with the head? More eyes ple
I've finally gotten the head off the tractor, after getting hit in the face by a stuck pair of vice grips and having a tooth go thru my cheek... lots of effort, pain, and sweat. And... I see nothing wrong. So I'd like some extra eyes on this. I took clear photos but I don't think the scaled down...- AlyM

Jetstar 3 - removing the head?
I've got the manifold off. Sorry, I didn't see your reply until finally getting it off. I still can't manage to get the head off. Lifting, pulling, shoving, tapping with a hammer, chiseling around the edges, nothing. No movement. I'm not certain if I should be trying to get the top "half" to...- AlyM
