    Case CX100 power problems

    Probably no point in responding this long after you asked but in case someone reads this in the future. . . it was a combo of a bad injector and bad injection pump. The Lucas (Delphi built) injection pump is apparently a lousy pump. Mechanics all say to put a little cheapo gas motor oil (SAE30...

    Carburetor advice

    Only Zenith I ever messed with is on a MF 135 perkie, had to modify it to make it run right. But that said, it runs great now. It was a Zenith 267 (sub model 13338)

    John Deere 4020 Won't Run

    I am wondering why it wouldn't start on starting fluid. . . a healthy engine should start and run on starting fluid no matter what is going on with the fuel system.

    For the Massey crowd...

    Dad had several snowmobiles, said that his Massey Ski-Whiz was the best one he ever owned.

    Got me stumped

    On our MF 285s, there is a little mechanism that bolts on the lower front of the engine (driver's right) that has a gear that goes into the engine and then out the top of the mechanism is where the cable screwes in. I had one of those go bad but the tach didn't work at all. . . but I messed with...

    Tsc traveller 15/40 motor oil

    Idk. Does oil go stale the same way gasoline (and now diesel fuel)? It might also have gotten some water in it through condensation through the years.

    My dream truck

    Not me man, I am with you. I'd rather pick up hay than play video games. Always happier with dirty or greasy hands.

    Tsc traveller 15/40 motor oil

    Interestingly I had this question too. We used to use Traveller 15w-40 HDDEO in all of our equipment, and to be fair have had no engine issues. However, in 2021 I purchased a 2001 RAM 2500 with the Cummins. A friend who also had a RAM diesel said he had always used Shell Rotella T4 15w-40. So I...

    Rotary Mower Question

    I think 6ft is prolly closer to the right size for the tractor. We have 2 7ft mowers, one 2 tail wheels one with 1. The one with a single tail wheel is the far better built mower and it floats with the ground contours better

    Oliver 1850

    I agree with the suggestions that it is either the fuel flow, condenser, or coil. The condenser and coil are the more heat sensitive ones. I am guessing if it runs good its almost definitely not points or plugs. My money on fuel flow since choke helps. Does it have a sediment bowl? Those can...

    88 vs M

    Never driven either. But seen both at tractor shows, and the 88 sure appears to have more meat in the rear end.

    Ariens S-16H engine trouble

    Thanks! I didn't have the manual when I got it, I didn't realize it would be a good one with lots of information. Sometimes they are, sometimes they are useless.

    Ariens S-16H engine trouble

    That is how I set the points, .020 at their widest points Its not so much that it is loose or rattly than that it is preigniting and basically causing the whole front of the machine to bounce and torque around

    Ariens S-16H engine trouble

    Yeah it has fresh fuel and a relatively new inline fuel filter.

    Ariens S-16H engine trouble

    I'll check the head bolts. I had never heard of that before, thanks for pointing that out. Not a fan of the Predators either they're fine but my personal favorite has always been the ole Briggs and Strattons. Easiest to work on, least finnicky, and longest lasting, at least from the ones I...
