    Neighbors tractor not what he thought it was

    Sounds familiar guys. I bought mine in November of last year. The seller, a guy who restores and sells 8Ns and parts and is a TISCO dealer, said it was a '48. By the S/N (212025) and the 7-1-49 stamped on the pump body, it's a mid-production '49. Like some of you, I don't care much. I did want...

    OT--tractor hours

    Easy guys. How many hours on a tractor is a lot? Is there a magic number? I'm sure it depends on use and maint. I can get a '57 JD 720 for a very good price. This one is LP powered. It shows 2890 hrs. My uncle had two 720s, and had to rebuild the engine in one and the transmission in the...

    wet brakes

    I don't know if you are new or not, Bob, but if you don't like the help you are offered here, like the 50 tips that Bruce took the time and effort to write and distribute, I suggest you look elsewhere for assistance. These people are never anything but helpful; Bruce has been particularly...

    Before/after serial number 216,988

    No disrespect here, but aren't those S/N after '48? My 8N is 212025 with a pump casting stamp of 7-1-49. I believe it to be a '49.

    OT Ford F-150 smoke boiled from under dash

    I wish I could help you with your mechanical issue, but I'd be doing the same thing you are. However, when a vehicle appears to have a passenger compartment fire, GET THE H&LL OUT OF IT!!! You wouldn't believe how fast they can consume EVERYTHING in there. I've pulled a person out of two of...

    Deutz

    I had read that they are extremely fuel efficient which makes sense with European fuel prices. Actually, one of my high school girlfriend's father owned a Deutz dealership in Missouri. Do they hold extra oil for cooling? My 6.0L F-350 holds 15 quarts. Also, the new ones are liquid cooled. Do...

    Deutz

    Does anybody know about these old air cooled diesels? I have a few diesel engines, and I just can't immagine adequate cooling without a liquid system.

    Pressure cleaning

    When you folks clean an old, greasy tractor do you soak it down with degreaser first? Any tips for pressure cleaning? It's fairly warm here in FL, mid 60s (sorry to rub it in).

    help!!G.B. Mt carb question

    This may very well be of no help to you as I am as new as new gets. I'm a marine mechanic and have rebuilt MANY carbs. Last weekend, I rebuilt my 8N carb. I had BIG trouble with the main (high speed) needle. It wouldn't thread back into the throttle body. Somebody had forced the wrong needle...
