    Cub Governor Question

    Thanks for the responses but maybe I did not explain clearly enough. I did adjust the rod per the manual directions. The issue is that the arm that runs from the governor across the front of the tractor and connects to the carb activating rod has about 12 degrees of play in it. If I adjust...

    Cub Governor Question

    I am reviving my 1950 Cub after 20 years of storage. I rebuilt the carb and it runs well but I have only 50% throttle response. From low I can move the throttle handle to about half way on the quadrant before the governor kicks in and the engine revs up. I tried to adjust the governor linkage...

    1940 Ford 9n backfiring

    Did they weld shut? Can you open them by hand? New points might be in order. Chris from CLE

    Gas tank cleaning: 1951 Ford 8N

    What is Berryman’s? I am currently cleaning a tank on my Farmall Cub. I have shake agitated it with stones inside to knock off the loose rust and calcium deposits. Next I am planning to swish it with Naval Jelly using 1/4-20 nuts to agitate and spread the jelly then plan to rinse and dry...

    2N Hydraulics stuck in up position

    I have one laying in the bottom of the bell housing for about five years. Knock wood, so far so good. Chris from CLE

    What's the purpose?

    I use a brake pawl every now and then but find that most of the time I just turn the front wheels all the way to one side. Turns out that it holds just about the same for what that’s worth… Chris from CLE

    Ford 9N more hydraulic problems? Plus how to post for newbies.

    I had the same lifting issue on my ‘39 9N many many moons ago. As I recall, I took out the pump and replaced one of the metal rings with a leather one. This solved the issue. Obviously not a professional rebuild but the kind of thing that one might do to fix a workhorse rather than a show...

    Ford 8n metal clanging sound

    Or ratchet straps and a chain fall or come along… I’ve never been smart enough to do it this way but saw photos of it on this forum. Learn something every day. Chris from CLE

    Won’t run with new governor

    First rule of troubleshooting is to change only one thing at a time. Since it as you stated “ran good” before changing the governor, you could have started there…. Now that several things have changed, your best bet is to do as all above have stated above and begin with the basics. Take a deep...

    8N bendix stuck

    Look through the starter hole at the ring gear. Look for missing teeth. With plugs out you should be able to turn the motor from the front so that you can see all around. If you starter is still good, you can replace just the bendix. Easy job if you don’t accidentally extend it. If extended...

    My 1952 8N Story

    The clutch was not depressed. I generally start it while standing at the left side of the tractor. I let it idle to warm up and smooth out a bit before mounting up. You are right about the clutch and transmission load. I disengage the PTO instead. Chris from CLE
