    checking starter

    nope i pulled the starter down it was free. last night i decided to fool with it some more after i'd had time to clear my head. and it seems that where the ground was for the relay wasn't good. i moved it to another spot and it fired up. so i think i'm going to eventually rewire the thing. but...

    checking starter

    hi, i was wondering if anyone knew how to check a starter and a starter relay using an ohm meter? i've had to jump my old '48 8n off a few times. so i was over at tractor supply last week. i figured while i was there i might as well get a new battery. wasn't sure which one, but they had a book...

    2 row cultivator

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me come to a decision on this. I found a really nice 2 row cultivator at a great deal. I just don't know if it would be too much to pull with my 8N. The cultivator is around 8 foot but I was thinking that I could take the blades off the back and just use...

    HOLY FLYING DIPSTICKS!!!

    THANKS TO ALL. You helped convince me of what I was sure about. I get a little hard headed, and wanted to be able to drive it that mile and a half up the road to the shop. I pulled the head off this morning. Just as I had expected, number 4 piston was nonexistant. all that was left was the wrist...

    HOLY FLYING DIPSTICKS!!!

    Well, for what it's worth. I pulled the carb off. I held my hand under the intake, and it seems that when I turn it over it has a pretty good amount of suction. I'm wondering if something may have went wrong with the carb. I guess what I'm getting at is the fact that the carb is dumping fuel out...

    HOLY FLYING DIPSTICKS!!!

    This was kinda funny. Yesterday I was on my 8n using a blade to level up a spot in the yard to build a shed. I got off the tractor to move something and as I was walking back I heard something in the motor "knock and slap". Then I saw a puff of smoke coming from around the engine. And the...

    SMOKING AND SURGING??

    i've recently acquired a 1948 8n. it smokes some and the motor seems to surge. i know that the smoking will only be solved by going into the motor. but i was wondering if anyone had any thoughts about the "surging". it seems to have plenty of power. it does everything i've wanted it to do. but...
