    Ford 9N blowby and backfiring

    Yes, Im glad they are eager to help but I did try to explain as much as possible in the first post. At 3/4 throttle it was reading about 45-50 psi on an older mechanical gauge. The part that surprised me was that it ran so well for a while. Could it be that the oil I dumped in top was...

    Ford 9N blowby and backfiring

    No, I just popped the cap off and looked at the points with a mirror. Didnt change any wires. I didnt use the battery-just started it by hand crank. And I did drain the gas and put fresh in. Still trying to understand the blowby issue. It ran fine for a good ten minutes before it started...

    Ford 9N blowby and backfiring

    Got a 9N out after sitting for a few years. Put some marvel mystery oil in the cylinders and turned the motor over a few times. Checked for spark and surprisingly the points werent even corroded after probably 5 years of sitting. Rebuilt the carb. Fresh gas, clean tank. Changed oil. Had to...

    Farmall 200 Engine sleeves not fitting

    Farmall 200 Engine sleeves not fitting

    Ok so I measured and came up with 3.443. Not quite as big as the 135 block but also larger than the 3.437 spec of the 123 I have a local shop here I can get them turned down to 3.437 for the lower end. Do you think that will work? That there would be no other differences on the sleeve if...

    Farmall 200 Engine sleeves not fitting

    Got a caliper-its just a brake caliper but its what I could get. Called a shop-they told me the spec is supposed to be 3.437, and the new sleeves measure 3.443 Just a little over. But enough that they do not fit

    Farmall 200 Engine sleeves not fitting

    That makes sense- Because my R3 has a dipstick, but I have the original book that came with the tractor, and it says there is 2 petcocks to check oil-probably the R1 or R2 of the same series

    Farmall 200 Engine sleeves not fitting

    Ive never worked with a wet sleeve engine before-but it seems simple enough. Got a kit with 3 1/4 overbore and stepped head pistons. The sleeves get to the end of the taper on the bottom casting (without the o ring installed) and they stop hard. Like they are too big by just a little bit The...

    Farmall ABC clutch mods

    Yea thats the only time I ever have gear clash is when starting from neutral. Its not that bad just takes a couple seconds. I was going to be pulling the tractor apart to fix some seals-and thought Id replace the old clutch awhile. Was also meaning to ask if anyone uses a heavier duty...

    Farmall ABC clutch mods

    I like the clutch on these tractors, but was wondering has anyone found a way to add a clutch brake-like semis have? So the transmission stops spinning a little sooner when you push the clutch all the way in. Maybe Im in too much of a hurry sometimes-but after being used to the way a truck...

    farmall 200 coolant in oil

    Found my issue- Pulled the oil pan down and put some coolant in the block. Drips green right around the sleeve on cylinder 3. Guess 67 years is about time for an overhaul anyway

    Thank you everyone for the replies. My local Napa said it is a discontinued part through them. So I will get one off the Internet, clean everything good and get it back together.

    farmall 200 coolant in oil

    was getting coolant in the engine oil while operating. I did not diag as I probably should have- I pulled the head off as it was simple enough to do thinking it was the gasket. there was no clear pass-thru in the gasket or markings on the head or block where it would have been seeping through...

    farmall 200 head gasket brand?!?

I can get a kit online with head gasket, valve cover gasket, and the whole set of others for under $100. While the local messicks store (dealer)...
