    450 TA

    I'm sure it's been asked 100 times here, so I apologize. How do I test the TA on a 450. Forward is disengaged and pulled back is engaged? If the TA is out, will the tractor not be able to move when the TA is engaged? Thanks

    Farmall F20

    So I took a look at the governor, and when it is throttled down with the butterfly closed, the governor thrust mechanism is allowing the weights to fly open. And when the tractor is at full throttle, the thrust is pushed all the way back holding the weights from opening. So I'm not sure why it...

    Farmall F20

    Well I disconnected the throttle linkage. Made sure it was going to mesh and hooked it back up. Started up on the 2nd crank, but now the tractor won't idle down. Seems to be running full bore even with the throttle at idle. Mine is a 38 with the factory variable speed governor. I assume the...

    Farmall F20

    Had my F20 running just last night. I took the carb off to replace the gasket between the manifold and carb. Got that buttoned back up and made a minor adjustment to the governor. Didnt mess with anything else. Now it won't start. It'll fire a couple times (enough to produce a little exhaust)...

    Farmall F20 High Idle

    Started up my F20 last night, and seems like it idles really fast. Possibly an issue with the carb or governor? Any suggestions of where to look and what to do would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Farmall F20 O Rings

    Well don't laugh at how stupid this is lol. I cleaned up the sleeves and grooves for the rings best I could. Then put the o rings in and slid the sleeves in. No lubing, no nothing, which I assume is where it went haywire. I did have to pound the sleeves down with a wood block and hammer.

    Farmall F20 O Rings

    What is the proper way to install the o rings on an F20? I replaced the rings, but when I filled it with coolant it was leaking into the oil, so I evidentally damaged them at some point in the install process. Just wondering if anyone has any tricks to installing them and getting a good seal...

    1938 F20 Throttle

    My 38 F20 has the standard 10 notch throttle on the left side of the fuel tank. How much travel should it have? Mine only moves about 7 notches, and I cannot get it to go to either the first or last notch. Thanks for the help.

    F20 Behlen Road Gear

    Trying to mount up my Behlen road gear onto my F20, however the road gear doesn't clear the drain plug on the front of the transmission right next to the drive shaft. Anyone know how it is supposed to be properly mounted to clear this plug? Thanks.

    Cleaning Out Block

    Need some advice on how to clean out the engine block on my F20. I have the engine completely apart, and I have the sleeves out. There was a significant amount of rust around the sleeves that I loosened and cleaned out. Some of the rust and scale fell down below into the lower portion of...

    Surface Prep Question

    I'm currently working on a 1938 F20. I'm using wire wheels on an angle grinder to prep the tractor for paint. Just wondering if anyone has any tips for getting in some of those small nooks and crannies. The main areas I can see being problematic are between the block and clutch, as well as the...

    450 Struggles Continue

    Well, the 450 continues to experience issues. As you guys suggested, I took the carb off, and took it apart. Bought a carb repair kit and installed that. Made sure the float was moving freely, it seemed fine and there was no fuel in the float. I also disconnected the air cleaner from the...

    450 Again.......

    Opened up the distributor, changed and set the points, and changed the condenser. Put the distributor back together, then hooked up a new 12 volt coil with resistor. The problem continues to persist. At this point, I think the problem is with the fuel system. When it began to chug, I shut off...
