    No serial number, what year is my 8n?

    Hello folk's, I have found the location where the serial plate used to be just to the right of the starter (two rivets in the block, no plate). The numbers stamped into the block at the serial location are illegible. The only numbers I can find are located just below the location of the serial...

    Block heater question

    Dell (WA), you hit the nail right on the head and I hope that others see this to benefit from your advise like I did. Today I hooked up a heat lamp and pointed it at the carb/intake manifold for about 30 minutes and she fired like it was a summer day, maybe even better. My old girl used to...

    What year Ford introduced 4 speed transmission

    Hello, looking at buying an N newer the 2N I currently have and was wondering if anyone knew what year Ford started to use the 4 speed transmission? The unit I am looking at also has the coil mounted on the side of the block, vs part of the distributor. Not able to get the serial yet to...

    Block heater question

    Thanks. Ha, I live in Ontario where pay .35 cents per kwh (power used + delivery +taxes), for electricity so leaving the lights on would be affordable. I have a heat lamp as you describe and will give it a go, also have a small piece of R foil to trap the heat in the area. Much...

    Block heater question

    Dell, I know you are right and have seen it also. Choke it, or squirt fuel in the carb till it is flooded and eventually some of it combusts enough to stumble to a start. I'll try the block heater against the carb (outside), to see what difference it makes. If that works the old ladies hair...

    Block heater question

    Thanks Bob, is there any way for the coolant to bypass the thermostat so there is circulation around and through the engine? It seems to me the pump would pressurize the coolant through the engine and against the thermostat and then just cavitate because it is unable to have flow. There...

    Block heater question

    Thanks wellmax99, I have the magnetic style as well which helps a bit. I'd like the water/block heated for a faster start up.

    Block heater question

    Hello folk's, I have been reading about how effective the inline water block heaters are at warming the engine and have a question about how to install it. I have a 2N which before I got it ran without a thermostat. Eventually the head/valves plugged up with soot and carbon so I cleaned it...

    9n 3 point won't hold position

    The hydraulics on my 9n works well at lifting and holding position if I have the adjustment lever at the extreme up/down positions. It will stay all the way up, or all the way down only. I am unable to lower the height of the 3 point part way down and have it stay in place. It will always...

    102 Jr shifter help?

    Thanks Bruce I get what you are saying and I'm quite sure the part that the shifter tail sits in is what I am missing. I have taken a couple of pics with my cover off to show what I have, possibly you could comment on what you see missing. (still trying to figure out how to upload the pic) I...

    102 Jr shifter help?

    Would there happen to be a guide bolted to the gear case cover that holds/guides the shifter? With my gear case cover off and looking striat down, I have 3 slider blocks supported by rails that move the shifter forks and engage the selected gear with the planetary shaft. The tail of the...

    102 Jr shifter help?

    Thanks for tip Chris and thanks Bruce for the offer to look for me. Sorry in advance for my crude use of the part names, I can't seem to find a site to help me use the proper terminology. My shifter isn't sliding in between the blocks that move the shifter forks. I know what you are...
