    6V Battery Recommendations?

    Anyone getting only 2 years out of a 6- or 12-volt battery Is doing something WAY, WAY wrong. We normally get 8 - 10 years across the board. With a couple of exceptions: Our Ford F-100 has a battery with 2011. Our Massey 2005 1540 has the original battery. The "Calcium" battery is no longer...

    Ford 8N Generator, 6 Volt

    Rebuilding IS NOT expensive at our local shop. It's a bargain. I have had a few starters and generators rebuilt there and couldn't be happier. The unit comes back looking and working like new. You install and forget about it. Make some calls and get some quotes before passing judgment.

    1950-51 8N whim purchase **OH BOY! IM IN TROUBLE**

    You are going to love this tractor! It is extremely easy to repair and maintain. The price wasn't too bad. Here is the best advice I can give you: Take a systematic approach to repairs.

    2N wiring

    Loosen all three studs on the resister block. Clean the connections. Spray with contact spray and retighten. Do the same on the ammeter and starter relay studs. See if that helps.

    Funk 8N Water Pump.....?

    Devel's advocate question: How hard can it possibly be to rebuild a water pump? I haven't ever done one, but I have rebuilt everything else on the planet earth. Seems to me that you press it apart, replace bearings and seals, press back together. Anyone here ever "rebuilt" one?

    Will she start?

    "This 77 year old flathead isn't going to care." I beg to differ. A precision valve service makes a TREMENDOUS difference in performance and longevity. "Lapping" valves is very poor practice. The head is off, the valves are out. Why skip the most important step? Just remember; you can always do...
