    8N starting issues

    Ah, the classic 6-volt draw-down :lol: Id guess it's a weak starter, failing solenoid, or a bad cable. Basically what's happening is your starter is drawing down the voltage enough the coil isn't able to make spark. That probably explains the splutter, it tries to fire right as you let off...

    Case 1175 Brakes

    Is an 1175 a disc brake like an 1170 was? I went through nightmares with one, the brakes ALWAYS drug, to the point the PO put a sickle section rivet in the flared fitting on each side so they were plugged off. :D It ended up being partly a blockage in the master cyl., and a missing wire "T"...

    Best way rust removal

    Blasting cabinet for small stuff, and a bigger/second compressor - you can tee them together without an issue for spot use like that. Most of the "converters" don't really remove anything, they just stop it, so not that great if there's a buildup. A needle scaler is a good tool, too, for...

    Rule of thumb for a hard staring diesel?

    If it has some type of a pump advance and it's not working, that's a big part of it - weak injectors can cause it too. Are you sure the timing is good? They can sound fine and be a little bit retarded, you may try advancing it a touch - sure helps with bigger Case's, not sure on a DB, but it...

    930 still warm

    1030's had a design flaw, to a point, in how the top tank was situated and trapped air, it was hard to keep them full-full. I always drill the thermostats, but more to get rid of air than anything, I don't think it makes much difference on how it cools. Agree with most everything said, if...

    8N won't start unless at min throttle

    I'm siding with Showcrop, updraft carbs can be weird, combined with gravity fuel, combined with ethanol... Vacuum is your friend, 4-wheelers are the same way.

    John Deere 4020 loader question

    A 158 isn't really much stouter than a 148, mostly just longer arms so more reach - but that also puts the bucket farther out in front of the axle, so more stress there. But that said, its way easier to get that top bale on or off a semi...….. 48, 148, 158 - whatever you stumble across would...

    split ring rear rims

    What size rims are they? Not sure what size a D would have, but the R's up here with splits were a 15-32, I think(?) and that size tire doesn't exist anymore. Pretty simple to swap to a drop-center 34" and go with it, tires are fairly cheap on a common size. Splits can be dangerous, but are...

    Such a Problem i have

    White thingy is a resistor, looks like she's been swapped to 12v, by the Delco alternator - stuck a resistor in instead of swapping to a 12v coil, done that before. Looks like a nice solid base for a user!

    Case 930 experiences

    The steering is by far, IMO, the worst thing about 'em. One fix I've seen a lot is to use a newer, slightly bigger, 70-series hydraulic pump (bolts right in), then use the second port for the steering - you need to add a pressure relief, but not a big deal. Then, toss the factory steering...

    Re: 4994

    Side note on that red 4994 - got re-sold to a guy north of Manhattan, MT, not sure if he's still running it or not.

    18.4.38 tires

    You can "cheat" a bias ply tire quite a bit with different rim widths - had a Case once with 18.4-34's on the inside on wide rims, 16.9 duals on narrow rims and they were virtually the same height - but the 16.9s were way narrower. I can't for the life of me remember what the rim widths were...

    Is gas cutoff story la myth?

    I've done it several times on my '49 - luckily, I checked the oil before I went to start it - both times, oily gas ran out the dipstick tube..... Honestly didn't know there was even a bowl vent on these things - Marvel Schebler carb on mine, not a Zenith, did they both have 'em? Will have to...

    4430 Power Beyond

    General consensus seems to be that you're better tee-ing the return line into the rockshaft return, so it's going to the filter anyhow - won't starve the pump as easy that way.

    crankcase breather residue

    Outside chance you have a weeping headgasket, too - I'd be tempted to crack the drain plug after it sits for a week or 3 and see if you've got any antifreeze in the pan...... But like all the above has said, it's probably just condensation.
