    starting 8-N

    The starter is not locked up, it's just not getting any juice to it. Push down the starter button--nothing clicks, nothing happens. When I connected the cables to the new battery, hit the starter button, it engaged and turned it over, then it fired, did not start, and kicked the starter off the...

    starting 8-N

    It's a 6 volt--the old battery was 7 years old, didn't think it a bad idea to replace it, the old battery started the tractor when I put a charger on it, figured it was dead. It tried to start today, once, but then was stone dead again. It has a normal generator on it, ran fine all last summer...

    starting 8-N

    Not good with these kinds of problems. Started and used my 1952 8_n 10 days ago--did a little mowing of some dead grass. Tractor started with coaxing of choke, and throttle set just right, only took a few attempts and note that the thing had set for several weeks and it was a cold day. I mowed...

    farmall 806

    It was not running hot---there was water in tank when I did disk with it for an hour or so, I think temp gauge was ok all that time, but apparently it was getting rid of water unbeknownst to me. When it sat a couple days and I looked, I could see the core. The cap was shot though, I got a new...

    farmall 806

    The battery's were low, got them charged and it started easily. poured in one gallon of 50/50 A/F mix to fill top tank. THEN---I noticed the radiator cap. The brass dish like circle under the cap's spring, was wore through on one side, somewhat of a gash through the brass in two places, no way...

    Tranmission/Hydraulic Oil

    Oil technologies are continuing to change all the time, in yesteryear there may well have been some products that worked well in a given application a little better than something else. But what I have seen with Tractor Hydraulic fluids of late, is any of the good name brands will work pretty...

    farmall 806

    I recently bought a very nice restored 806 Farmall. Everything seems ok, starts and runs and does it all ok, at least right now. I wanted to check the potency of the Anti-Freeze before cold weather hits, and discovered the water is below the core, nothing in top tank. When I got the tractor, I...

    please help my 8-N live right

    This tractor ran perfect for a couple work sessions after tuning it up in the distributor, but this week she started acting up again as bad as ever. About ready to give it away, such a simple machine that has a naggi9ng something or tuther I can't seem to discover and permanently fix. I've...

    please help my 8-N live right

    The grass I'm speaking of is do-able with a right running 8-N. This tractor has mowed grass such as I speak of many times. It is not pulling down and snuffing out from lack of power., rather, it is just beginning to pull hard and begins to puke and buck as if it has water in the gas, which it...

    I'm pretty sure it originated in Mo. though, and it may go back too!!
