    Sad Case

    I spotted this '46 VAC at a consignment auction site. Don't know when they will be having a sale. Engine is stuck. What is it worth as it sits?

    Where to purchase Carburetor?

    I bought of the replacements from this site and it has worked flawlessly for almost a year now. The float did stick on it last time I fired it up, after sitting for about three months. But a couple of light but determined taps with a hammer fixed that right up. Jay

    3 pt stabilizers

    I use them on my mower. Wouldn't even try it w/o them on. Use chains on my disc. Nothing needed on my spreader.

    Toting gun on tractor

    Snakes; If I see one, it's time on earth is limited. I know some are beneficial to the land. But I figure for every one I see there are likely 20 or more that I don't. The ones that stay out of my sight are the smart snakes, and thus deserve to live. The ones that allow me to see them are...

    Yet another sleeve question

    I did R&R'd mine in the the frame (crank in) with a driver tool I had built very similarly to the 1st tool pic'd in the link above. Don't know that I would have tried it with an .040" sleeve. But it worked great with my .090" sleeves. So yes, it can be done and it's not that difficult...

    Questions on disassembling and reassembling 8N engine

    I'm no expert. But I just went through somewhat the same situation myself. Mine was burning oil at a pretty good rate, and spewing oil all over my right foot. But still had somewhat decent oil pressure. Here's what I did. I did not want to split it in half, but you're already there. I...

    Voltage Drain Question?

    I appreciate the concern on that one. But I do deal with electricity quite often in my work. And yes, I do know to disconnect power from anything before I ohm it. My meter does have a fuse in it for just such occasions though. Haven't had a chance to get out and mess with it yet, but will...

    Voltage Drain Question?

    Is there a method to checking the volt reg.? It was just replaced last fall. I know this doesn't mean it's not bad. But.... I have a good multi-meter, is there a way to ohm it and check it out? Amp meter on the tractor show positive charging, up to 20+amps at higher rpm. So I'm thinking...

    Voltage Drain Question?

    Now that I have the tractor running like a top, I'm finding I have a pretty good voltage drain. It'll kill the battery overnight. For now, disconnecting the battery is working fine. But no doubt I'm gonna forget to do this one day. Beside the fact it is a PITA (kinda) to do this every time I get...

    I have an .090 sleeve driver, anyone need to use it?

    I had a machinist buddy build me a sleeve driver while I was doing my rebuild. He owed me a favor. Now it's just sitting in the garage, hopefully never to be needed again by me. So I thought I'd offer up it's use to anyone who might need it. I'm not looking to make a dime from it. All I'd...

    Maiden voyage report.

    As several of you know, due to the many questions I've asked here, I've been slowly but surely getting the in frame overhaul done on my 8N. Well, everything checked out yesterday, after a good amount of break-in, so I took her out to the land today for some workin'. All together I mowed...

    Price of Gear Oil has gone crazy!

    G6 at Snook, TX, I couldn't have said it better or more respectfully myself. gahorN, I do want America to succeed. I just feel that will not be an option under the socialist policies of the radical left. Therefore I want their policies to fail miserably as soon as possible to wake...
