    Tail Fork Rotary Mower.

    Thank you for the response. The wheel itself spins freely on the ground. Direction of travel is the issue. The manufacturer and model # are not going to be available. I had thought of a sealed thrust bearing at the bottom of the tube and filling it with grease but was worried about the play at...

    Tail Fork Rotary Mower.

    This wheel drags as much as rolls. My guess is the extra space between the fork shaft and the tube its in. So the question I have is, does this need a bushing? If so who sells them. This is the first time I've looked inside one of these, I really expected bearings......

    801 No spark

    Ended up replacing the points and condenser. The tractor started as soon as the motor started turning. Thanks again for your help

    801 No spark

    I appreciate the need for uniform terminology. Not being a mechanic myself, I only repeat what I read or hear. The resistor was referred to as ballast resistor from more than one online resource. Voltage drop resistor seems more descriptive for sure. Thanks for the input. This post was edited...

    801 No spark

    Thank all of you for responding. I've learned a lot from your comments. Unfortunately the tractor still isn't starting, I'll be looking at it today and hopefully get the issue resolved.

    801 No spark

    :) You're right Sean I didn't have an accurate count. I was using this tractor last week. I took the battery out to charge it and after it was put back in the tractor wouldn't start. My first thought was that something came loose in the removal or installation of the battery, but the...

    801 No spark

    Thanks Andy The coil has a " must be used with a resistor" printed on the side so I think it is a 6 volt coil. This is a live and learn thing, but if had I known yesterday that a 12 volt coil could be used without the resistor in place of what is on the tractor it, I would saved a few $$...

    801 No spark

    Like the title says, I have an 801 that isn't making spark. I have a question about the ballast resistor between the source and coil. It is reading 12 volts on both sides of the resistor when its not attached to the coil. It will read 12.75 or 5.5 when power is connected to the coil. I am...

    801 Radiator Replacement

    Thank you I would never have thought of essentially putting a T inline. That sounds like a great idea and so much easier than modifying the radiator.

    801 Radiator Replacement

    Thanks for responding. I really wanted to ignore it,lol. As it is the replacement radiator will need to be modified to connect to the evaporator. Thanks again.

    801 Radiator Replacement

    I am replacing the radiator on Ford 801 propane tractor. Not sure if it was originally manufactured as propane or if it is an aftermarket install. This part is mounted to the tractor and is connected to both fuel and coolant. (coolant line at the radiator going back to unknown part)...
