    Rollover

    I don't know what the tipping point would be. Even though this is an older topic, I wanted to say that being cautious is definitely a good thing. Our big toys are quite capable of killing us if we let that happen. Be safe.

    8n alternator help

    Just knowing that the voltage changes does not tell you what is going on. Electrical circuits need a combination of volts and amps to do work. You know how the voltage is changing, but nothing about what the amps are doing. If the amps are lower than they are supposed to be, there may not be...

    fun tractor

    Used DDG to search, saw the pictures. He certainly is skilled at adapting different assemblies to work together. I admit being curious about the 6-cyl Funk conversions. But the rest is way beyond what I could use.

    fun tractor

    Good grief. They sure had fun making that video. Craziness!

    There, I fixed it.

    I was going to mention that they need to be red, but you beat me to it. :-)

    a 49 8N and a newbie owner

    I smile each time I see your user name. Creative! :-) Haven't checked the compression yet. Thanks for the tip. It might come in handy, although I hope not. Haven't been online or fussing with the tractor for quite a while. It looks like the bad spot in the dirt road is firming up, so I...

    Oops. After re-reading your post, I see that my statement is incorrect. Sorry.

    :lol: You guys are having too much fun with my "unnatural" electrical comment! I'm glad that you're enjoying it! I finally removed the plug from the bottom of the carburetor ... looked like rusty water coming out. Hmph. Recall that I said the oil was right at the fill line and looked brand...

    Stevene, Your tractor is prettier than mine! An alternator seems to suggest you have a 12v system.

    a 49 8N and a newbie owner

    Thanks for the welcome Tim and the solid information. On closer inspection, it appears that it does have the hinged 8N seat. I just didn't look closely enough when I wrote that it didn't. I've read that many tractors have been altered with components from other model and/or year tractors...

    a 49 8N and a newbie owner

    Thanks John. I was hoping that I could buy the tractor, attend to the basics in maintenance, and then get to work using it. It seems that idea was naive. In my case it is also unfortunate, as this year's storms badly damaged the dirt roads in my neighborhood. Most of the roads are now...

    HFJ, thanks for the welcome and pointing out the "error" of my thinking. :D This post was edited by DaveZ (CA us) on 05/01/2023 at 05:09 am.

    That seems so un-natural to me. Someone suggested that positive ground helped the points last longer in a 6v system? Thanks for the reminder R Geiger.

    a 49 8N and a newbie owner

    Hello all, I bought my first tractor, apparently a Ford 8N. The engine serial is 8N206093 and so far all the identifying features are consistent with a 1949 8N except it doesn't have the hinged seat. It has a Wagner? Iron Works front loader and a Stockland scraper on it. Also included are a...
