    New Holland Baler Std & HD Knotters Service Manual

    That might be one of the issues, I think i picked up the replacement bolt at a hardware store. However, after looking things over tonight I found the brake pads for the knotter brake paper thin and it didn't have enough "holding power". I could move the needle holder without a great deal of...

    861 won't start without the jumper pack

    861 will not start without help from the jumper pack. I just went through everything, new plugs, new points, cond, and rotor, cleaned carb, put in kit, checked timing. The wires are new from spring, I believe they resister type not solid. Once it starts it runs great. Thanks for any info/help...

    hydraulic oil dip stick

    The way I understand it (according to local NH dealer) you check hyd fluid using the side with the "Pedistal/Filler" with the 3pt arms down and no other cylinders attached to the tractor, fluid should be up to that "full line". When the arms are up or more cylinders attached, use the side with...

    ford 861 rich at startup

    So I checked for fuel in the inlet tube and there was some. So its flooding somewhat. I tested the float by putting it in some hot water and watching for bubbles and there weren't any. Also, shook it when I first got it out and didn't feel anything sloshing in the float. I bent the tang a...

    ford 861 rich at startup

    There was before the rebuild, checked the float; it was ok. After rebuild a little gas in tube then dropped the float 1/16" and no more fuel in tube. Haven't checked it since the week-end.

    ford 861 rich at startup

    Carb was cleaned and kit installed, now black smoke on start up and runs rich at first, but develops good idle and power after it warms up. I set it up according to the manual, but I don't want to alter it too much. It has a marvel carb I can't remember the model. Do these carbs have a...

    861 no spark

    Took apart the distributor and cleaned and polished checked for grounding and reassembled. Cleaned all connections, just regular maintenance really but after putting everything back together the engine sputtered a little but wouldn't run. So I went to check for spark at the plugs. remover #1...

    861 no spark

    Took the stud/copper strip connector out and it looked fine. reinstalled checked with ohm meter continuity seems ok. coil impedance was about 1.6, hard to read while swinging at mosquitoes. Is there anyplace besides the stud/copper strip that can short? Like under the breaker plate? Try again...

    nh 271 plunger bearing question

    Thanks bjr, do you remember what position the plunger was in when you adjusted the clearances? Did you have any trouble getting the plunger back in to the chamber? Sounds like kind of a circus from what I have read. Thanks, Warren

    nh 271 plunger bearing question

    NH 271 needs a couple plunger bearings (at least). Is there a good thread that discusses removing/installing the plunger? Also, the manual gives the clearance specs for adjusting them, but I didn't see anything about what position the baler should be in to measure/install them. I may have...
