    Rebuilding 52 8n Main Bearing Question

    Got it figured out. When I used the plastic auger to check clearance, a piece of the paper from wrapper had fallen on the bearing. It was folded and caused enough to tighten it up. Took it off the bearing and is now turning fine. Thanks to everyone and especially to Gary Reif.

    Rebuilding 52 8n Main Bearing Question

    8n only runs with choke pulled out

    So.........you have a new EI plus plenty of other new ignition parts....because it would only run with the choke out? I guess it was easier to spend what...... $200 for parts you didn't need than it was to troubleshoot the problem? Actually I already had the parts for a 52 8N that I am...

    PTO handle keeps Disengaging

    Finally get my '50 8N tractor to run and while mowing the PTO handle keeps disengaging. It will engage all the way to the back and doesn't seem difficult to push back. While mowing the PTO will stop and when I check the lever it is in the disengage position. Any thoughts?

    8n only runs with choke pulled out

    Well, I went back and checked the fuel system again. All filters clear but did find a hairline crack in fuel line. Too small to drip but may have been sucking air. Changed out line and no change, still stalled. Had low flow so I changed out the new filter fuel valve with another new one and...

    8n only runs with choke pulled out

    I will double check the flow. I just took apart and fuel had steady stream so I connected it back. Thanks, I will recheck just in case.

    Well I replaced the coil with a 12v and replaced the points with a electronic points. I also replaced the gas cap and after 5-10 minutes of running it will only run with choke out. The only thing left is the wiring which I am going to replace. I noticed today that the battery was dead...
