    Coolant leaks at hose connections

    True, maybe I'm too much of a perfectionist. I suppose after a restoration I expect too much. A couple of older folks told me these old tractors usually dripped something from day one and the paint wasn't perfect out of the factory, either. I guess that makes mine just like new! G

    Coolant leaks at hose connections

    Get an occasional puddle on the floor from coolant leaks from hose connections (3 of 4 of them) on my 9N. New hoses, some double-clamped now. Freshly painted cast iron. Seems to happen when we have temp drops. Loosened radiator cap and that didn't help. Sometimes it'll go a month or two...

    Paint scheme on 2N

    My '41 9N (a.k.a 'Puddles') was dark blue (well, half rust) when I bought it and I could find no dark grey underneath. I also wondered what the original color was. Eventually I found the grey inside the air cleaner and on a few other obscure places as I disassembled it. I figure maybe the...

    9N Greasy lining and drum after Sure Seals Installed

    If you happen to still have that bearing pulling jig and could post a picture, that would be appreciated.

    9N Greasy lining and drum after Sure Seals Installed

    ....and I believe replacing the outer seal means removal and replacement of that collar that has to be heated to red and slid over the axle. Ugh.

    9N Greasy lining and drum after Sure Seals Installed

    When I restored my '41 9N last year I saw the brake linings were greasy. At that time I greased the bearings and installed Sure Seals, but did not replace the brakes. Instead, I cleaned up the old shoes, drum, etc with Brakleen hoping they would work 'good enough' and at re-assembly everything...

    Oil only warm?

    Thanks to everyone for the advice and info!

    Oil only warm?

    Yep, it is pushing air to the front - and as far as I can tell it is the original fan - I simply assumed this was just how they were set up - thoughts?

    Oil only warm?

    thanks - I'll give that a shot. What really surprises me is the efficiency of this new radiator. The water going in is obviously extremely hot; by the time it gets into the lower radiator hose, it's just warm. Very large quantity of warm air blowing out the front as well. Now that the hood...

    Oil only warm?

    Hi Bruce - yes, brand new thermostat that was tested before installing (also double-checked the direction it was installed).

    Oil only warm?

    A little concerned about oil flow - I ran the '41 9N about a half hour yesterday, quite a bit of time at half throttle or so. It was about 38 degrees outside. I was showing 24 lbs of oil pressure on the new gauge and a couple drops came out of the governor as usual (I have more work to do...

    Carb Dripping from Drain

    Thanks.....looks like I have plenty of things to try.

    Carb Dripping from Drain

    The sediment bowl cutoff 'weeps' a little and I plan to replace it - but only a little. The gasket under the float valve seat is new. The needle seems to move OK - just sticks closed very slightly due to the rubber tip. I was able to tighten the valve seat 1/4 turn - could that have been the...

    Carb Dripping from Drain

    Thanks....air cleaner was torn apart and cleaned when the carb was rebuilt so no dirt there....

    Carb Dripping from Drain

    Having a problem with my carb. It is a TSX-33 on a 9N. The carb was rebuilt and I'm now trying it out. I'm getting excess gas in the chamber with the venturi and choke plate and it's coming out the 'weep' hole - I got a little when I ran it a week ago; now I collected what I estimate is about...
