    Raymond Jones

    Many of the comments were very good. The answer you choose depends on what you want to do with YOUR money. First, I would say get involved in any decision. A friend of mine bought shares of a company from either Raymond James or Ed Jones - I cant remember which. At any rate he paid about $800...

    Canada Question

    Thanks for all the replies. i agree that from an export standpoint the US would maybe ne better off if we converted to metric long ago. At my age, it would be hard for me to convert to metric now. Years ago when I went to Canada I thought the gas was dirt cheap until I realized it was sold in...

    Canada Question

    I know this is not tractor related. I also know that several people on this forum are Canadians. I read an article stating Canada has made the metric system compulsory since 1975 about the time the US was going metric. Many, if not most of the ads state food, etc. in pounds and in kilos or...

    The last today's funny

    Jon, Thank you so much for the years of time, effort and talent you provided everyone. My wife passed way last winter and I found it hard to find humor in anything. Your daily post always gave me a chuckle for a few moments. With time, things are better now, but not great. Thanks again. GordyMN

    Chain saw adjustment

    I have an 026 and a 036, so I think they are somewhat similar. I had the same problem, but after I blew out the affected areas with my air compressor, it was much easier to see and work on. my problem was starting the peg (that adjusts the chain) in the right place. once it was started...

    gas shut off bowl

    I have a 49 8n. On 9-16 I posted a problem I had with leaky sediment bowl. Thanks for the responses. The bowl does not leak anymore. However, now I have gas coming out of the stem or shaft of the shut off wheel. Even when closed gas still leaks out. I looked at the “Service Parts Catalog” but...

    sediment bowl

    I have a 49 Ford 8N. After removing the hood, I reattached the fuel line and cleaned the glass sediment bowl, installing a new gasket. I used NAPA gasket 730-9506. It leaks around the gasket. Now I cannot get the gas to go through unless I leave the screw (bottom of glass bowl) VERY loose. If...

    pie weights

    I have a set of rear wheel pie weights that I have used on my 8n. Do they also fit the Jubilee and hundred series rear wheels? I don't think they fit the 2n or 9n. Could someone tell me what tractors they fit? Thank you. Gordy MN

    Plastic Welding JD Hood?

    Tim, I had the same problem with my LX188. I took some (flexible) screen and smeared it with JB weld on the inside of the hood - overlapping the crack. About three applications. I have been careful when I open / close the hood, but so far no problems. JD should have made a metal hood...

    Compressor oil

    I have an old (40 yrs?)air compressor with a 1/2 hp electric motor that runs a belt to the actual compressor. In the manual it states to use only 20W oil in the compressor. I can"t find any. I can find 10W, 30W and 40W,but no 20W. What would you recommend I use? If I mixed 1/2 of qt 10W...

    O.T. water heater

    I had the same probelem. I took out the anode rod and it went away for a while then the rotten egg smell came back in all the water. I would add add chlorine bleach to the well, when you get to that point. Google "shock treament" or "chloine shock treament" or something similar and they will...
