Ignition troubleshooting (hopefully)
Well i am an idiot. At some point during my flailing i put the plug leads on incorrectly and got the firing order wrong. I suspect at this point that a very wet distributor was the only problem initially. It is running strong again. I will put the old plug leads and dist cap back into... -

Ignition troubleshooting (hopefully)
850 has always run well and had way more power than it could effectively use. Couldnt get it started the other day after a long spell outside in the weather. Last night i opened up the distributor and found it pretty wet. Dried out with a heat gun and was able to start it and ran it for a bit... -

Home made snow plow subframe mounting
Thanks Sean, will do. I've noticed that i usually push water out of the spindles when i grease them. Does this indicate that i am not greasing them frequently enough or not packing enough grease in when i do? -

Home made snow plow subframe mounting
Finally finished plumbing the remote valve and hooked up the blade, holy cow this can push a lot more snow than the 6' dearborn blade I've been pushing behind me for the last 8 years! The front weight, though, is intimidating. I know this tractor had a front loader on it years ago, and the guy... -

12v conversion or new 6v battery
Thanks all, I think I need my time more than I need a 12v upgrade right now! -

SA cylinder with 5902 adapter and loader valve
Adapter plate and valve installed, just have to measure for hoses. The hose installed on the adapter plate is so i can run the tractor and use the back blade if i need to push snow before i get the valve plumbed. I can certainly see the advantage of spending the money on a valve that mounts to... -

12v conversion or new 6v battery
I am perfectly happy with the 6v system, but since I have to spend some money either way, I figured I'd ask the question. I have heard people say "switch to 12v, you'll never look back," and I have heard people say "the system as designed works perfectly well, don't mess with it." So for me... -

12v conversion or new 6v battery
thanks for the input, Old. I am inclined to pick up a new 6v battery because I don't need another project, but sometimes I catch a little upgrade fever... since it doesn't have trouble starting if I can get it to turn over a few times, I am assuming the rest of the system is in reasonably... -

12v conversion or new 6v battery
My 6v battery will no longer start my 850 in cold weather, even when I keep it on a trickle charger. I can barely get it to turn the engine over before it stops trying and needs a jump. I'm fine buying a new 6v battery (believe this one was on the tractor when I bought it 7 years ago) but... -

Hydraulic block-off plate plug
jmor, that is a potentially legit solution, but I'm pretty sure the elbow would make me angry every time I looked at it. I need a solution that is both leak-free AND makes me nod in satisfaction when I see it, instead of shaking my head in shame. -

Hydraulic block-off plate plug
I think I overexplained, as my father does, and his father before him... the HV 5902 really has nothing to do with this issue aside from the fact that its installation is what gave me occasion to remove the old hydraulic hose and elbow. This issue is strictly with the plug in the block-off... -

Sorry if i sound cranky, gentlemen! I had family drama going on in the background and put all my patience toward that front ;) -

Hydraulic block-off plate plug
Jim, i have installed a 5902, but the port i am referring to is in the block off plate that was on the top cover before installing the plate. The tisco instructions are clear on the 5902 ports. I am trying to replug the port on the blockoff plate that was present before 5902 install. This is... -

Hydraulic block-off plate plug
It is definitely a 3/8 plug i have in there, purchased it immediately after reviewing the parts manual to confirm what i was shopping for. Its a snug fit. To me, 3/8 pipe means npt. Is it possible that ford changed the part at some point and i have a non-original plate? The fact that the...
