    Ford Jubilee Surging idle resulting in bucking

    I'd check your intake manifold gasket for leaks. quick easy to eliminate that as a potential problem.

    How things have changed

    Interesting thread. Dang, I just got my first loader tractor. It's the IH 460U that I've been posting a lot about on here lately. It's been soooo wet around here I haven't had a chance to play with it much. I couldn't help myself the other day, and hauled some compost for the wife's flower...

    fuel sediment cup question

    I guess we were saying the same thing, except I was thinking his carb bowl was empty. ergo stuck needle valve. I guess shut would be the correct term in this case. Good call.

    fuel sediment cup question

    Jim, I took it to mean he couldn't get any gas in the bowl. Sounds like maybe air/vapor locked?? Seems like if the float seal is that stuck he's going to have problems with it later on too. Just thinking out loud.

    Farmall 140 ignition problem

    Points and condenser have been replaced" there's your clue. Something shorted/not installed properly I'm guessing. Like Dennis mentioned check that small wire to see that it's not chaffed and touching metal base of distributer. Yeah, that coils is dead shorted. I like Barnyard's diagnostic.

    Farmall 140 ignition problem

    Dennis brings up a good point. sounds like it's been modified from OEM. Early versions were 6VDC pos. grd. later versions were 12VDC neg. grd. If it has an alternator instead of a generator it's been tampered with. Good chance not in a good way. For example my IH 460 has been converted to...

    Subsoiling for drainage with a ripper 30in deep?

    Thanks for the replies. My two biggest tractors are around 60 HP so sounds like I need a new/bigger tractor. I'm thinking of welding up a contraption out of old truck leaf springs. Just a single point so maybe I can make it work. Of course I have lots of irons in the fire so who knows when or...

    carburetor problems

    Fixing farmer mentioned manifold, I would second making SURE you do not have an intake manifold leak. Those things can mimic lots of other problems. Next time you get it running do the propane torch trick. If nothing else at least eliminate that as a possibility. Does it surge while running...
