    Why does Ford 860 engine run on when I shut off the ignition?

    Is this a distributor issue? Should I loosen the distributor, and which way to carefully turn it? Your help appreciated, thank you.

    Professionally restored Ford 800 for sale $9,000

    Gentlemen, thanks for your responses. This tractor belonged to a good friend, who passed away after a heart attack. Seems like 'refurbished' is a more accurate title than 'restored'. And the price is high too. I'll talk with his wife and see what she says.

    8N clutch on the way out, or just needs adjusting?

    My trusty 1952 8N's clutch now seems to grab when I slowly lift my foot off the clutch pedal. Clutch doesn't slip at all, but does not engage gently. Does it need to be adjusted, or is it on the way out? Your ideas appreciated.

    860 parking brake - how does it fit?

    Bought a parking brake lever for my 860, but cannot see how, or exactly where it fits. It's only 3 long and is a locking device. Your help appreciated!

    Who makes an 800 gas shut off that doesn't leak?

    Fuel shut off leaks after a while. Seems like the tiny green ring inside just fails. Does any manufacturer make a quality shut off - and what brand? Have tried 'made in China' shut off but it fails easily. I removed that rivet on the base of the shut off, put in fuel rated O rings, tapped the...

    Are all O rings made of the same material?

    Fuel shut off leaks on Ford 860. Are all O rings made of the same material, or are some special for oil and gasoline applications?

    860 annoying brake squeal noise

    860 annoying brake squeal noise

    Dean, it squeals for the first 20 minutes of use, and stops if I dab the brakes, then starts again. It does stop for a while after several revolutions, but then starts up again.
