Pic-4840 John Deere Tractor Sitting For Years By Hiway
Yea, some people just stop driving their cars and trucks and leave them in their driveways or in back of their houses. Some leave nice boats on marina lots and never come back to them, for various reasons. So, I guess some farmers just leave their tractors out in the field or along the road for...- Barnacle

Add A Passenger Seat
WOW ! Lots of ideas. My wife and others would like to take a ride on the 2N. The second seat looks good and is doable. But, I have to agree that it is dangerous. The person sitting back there is right over the rear axle, and gets all the bumps, and if someone would fall off, it could be...- Barnacle

Add A Passenger Seat
Do you think that it's possible and safe to somehow attach (bolt-on) a second seat to the PTO drawbar, so another person can ride on a 2N Tractor ?- Barnacle

2N Water Pump Teplace
Yes , The water pump can be removed and a new one installed without removing the hood. I bought a new thermostat, but later removed it, after it remained in the closed position and would not open. I had installed it in the correct direction within the hose. Engine seems to run fine without the...- Barnacle

A Hard Starter
Once again, a good suggestion about the oil. Actually, I feel better about using heavier oil, like the 15W-40. With the engine being old and pretty worn from 75 years of use, I think a heavier oil would provide better lubrication, especially at start-up. I'll try the 15W-40 at the next oil... -

That's a pretty crazy way to start a cold engine, but I can bet that it worked ! Thanks for the response. -

I know someone who is a diesel mechanic and is also a good overall mechanic. I'll ask him to help me adjust the valves, as that is above my skill and knowledge level. Thanks very much for the good suggestion ! -

Thanks for your reply and good suggestions. I wasn't sure what type of oil to use. I know the Owner's and Shop Manuals call for straight 30W, and a mechanic advised that I should go with 10W-30. So, I put Valvoline High mileage 10W-30 , which is a syn-blend oil. I also put a quart of Lucas... -

I really appreciate your reply and helpful suggestions. Even though I rebuilt the Carburetor, I think you're right about it being the source of the starting problem. I'm going to check the bowl and the adjust the float, if necessry. A friend of mine who owns a nursery, gave the tractor to... -

I just restored a 1947 Ford 2N . It's amazing that it runs at all, considering that it sat outside for over 40 years ! But, it does run well. However, getting it to start when cold, is another matter. It may take five to ten minutes to get it started ! Using the choke doesn't help at all...
