    Ford 4600 Starter Switch

    Brian, It seems the starter swithch was replaced. When you turn the key from the off postition, you go to a run postition?, turn to the right again the dash warning lights display, turn again to start. The spring returns the key to the position where the lights were on. The warning lights turn...

    Yes the sickle mower was on since new, it has been in our family starting with my great grandfather. I guess we will go ahead and purchase the 3 point arms and stabilizer bars. Thanks everyone for your input.

    2N Drawbar

    I just removed a sickle mower off a 1947 2N that was on since new. Are there any drawbars out there with out a 3 point hitch? I wasn't necessarily interested in buying a whole 3 point system since I have 2 other 8N's that I can plow with, etc. I know there are ones for 8N's, but the 2N's don't...

    1947 CO-OP E3 Running Rough (pic)

    I have a 1947 CO-OP E3 original to my grandfather's farm. Recently, it has been running rough and putting out less power. I know that it has been used fairly hard most of its life. We changed the oil last year and have a new set of spark plugs/wires/coil that have not been put on yet. Is there...

    Ford 9n won't run

    We had a similar problem with our 1948 8n. Pull starting it with another tractor helped it to start. The sparks plugs were plugged.

    Wagon Rack Building Ideas

    Hello, this is my first time build a wagon and I have a few questions on how to build a rack. As you can see in the picture, the wagon gear is not very heavy duty and I will be using a New Holland 68 baler with a thrower and a tractor with around 35 horsepower, so I can't haul many bales at...

    Sickel Mowing Help and Identification (pics)

    We were thinking the slower speed would work better when we tried it out. Will the faster gear speed make the sickel mower run faster?

    Sickel Mowing Help and Identification (pics)

    Old, How would you know if it is out of time? There is space between some of the gaurds and the balde. Those did tend to clog. The guards are at the lowest setting, but are pointed upward. Thanks

    Sickel Mowing Help and Identification (pics)

    This evening I was trying to mow a second cutting orchard grass with my 1947 2N and sickel bar mower. Just like it did on the first cutting, I would go 10 feet and get stuck. The cutters would plug. So, can the baldes be sharpened or should I get new ones? Should I get new gaurds? Any hints on...

    1948 8N - Industrial Engine?

    Dell, I think I followed what you were saying. But I am still alittle confused. With the 8N serial number on the block do you think it was the original engine in the tractor? Thanks

    1948 8N - Industrial Engine?

    Recently, my mechanic was over to work on my 1948 8N (see pictures 1 & 2). He noticed a plate (see picture 3) on the engine block. He wondered if it was an industrial replacment engine/block since that would be the location where a fuel pump would be attached. On the other side of the block, the...
