    Some suggestions re. body rust

    Good morning and thank you all for your comments.. Guess I'll look for a little sand blaster and plan to remove the hood... (NOT what I was hoping for... ;- )

    Carburetor Adjustment?

    Thanks Bruce. I DID soak the old carb that I bought in a bucket of Berrymans Carb Cleaner, but only overnight, and it was a COLD night. (Not sure what Berrymans IS... but it doesn't smell anything (strong) like the carburetor cleaners that I remember from back-in-the-day. It COULD be that it...

    Adjusting proper engine speed?

    I wish that there was a simple Like or Thank You button. I'm anxious to get out and try this, but have to admit that I'm a bit of a softy! It is just now creeping into the forties this morning and windy! I just moved here from fifty plus years in Southern California... To me, THIS is...

    Carburetor Adjustment?

    OK guys, here's another one. While I'm still trying to find my Max Engine RPM setting, and where to mark my new throttle quadrant to show me where to run for my 540 RPM PTO speed, I actually had some work to do with the tractor. I have just replaced the Chinese carb that was on the tractor...

    Adjusting proper engine speed?

    Good morning and thank you again for all your help. I'm not certain what you mean by stop moving. Stop blinking and give a steady read? Since the app is in Hz and we are looking for 540 RPM, I'm guessing that I set the slider on the phone to 9 Hz, correct? Then start at about 3/4 throttle...

    Adjusting proper engine speed?

    Good morning... Well, I downloaded and installed the Strobily App., but can't find (or figure out) how to use it. Can you point me in the right direction?

    Adjusting proper engine speed?

    Thanks! That might be what I'm looking for... What was the app called? (I doesn't quite explain how things were done "way back then", though, does it? ;- )

    Adjusting proper engine speed?

    OK guys, next question... Engine speed and PTO speed seem to be important factors in setting up and getting the most out of the tractor. I see lots of reference to a 2,000-2,200 RPM max engine speed, a 400-500 RPM idle speed, and a 540 RPM PTO speed. So, here's my question... On the...

    Adding a Proof Meter to an 8N

    Yep! Thank you!

    Adding a Proof Meter to an 8N

    OK... Good morning again. Thanks to those who offered good advice. Since I'm quite sure that the old tractor wasn't turning fast enough to peg the needle, and since there really wasn't a convenient place to mount the unit on my early 8N without doing a fair bit of fabricating, I boxed it...

    Replacing PTO shaft

    THANK YOU... (Sorry, I just saw your post ;-) I took the advice of the guy(s) who said, just drop the front wheels in the ditch. (We have a perfect one, right in front of our house along the road.) It turned out to be a really simple job. Thanks to ALL who replied. Jim

    12V and EI conversion nothing happens

    Good for you! I'm pretty sure that no one will admit it, but we/they have all been there at one time or another!

    Throttle Spring

    OK, thank you... I will note here that while, as you note, "the manual has it correct", the manual ALSO refers to the part itself as a "THROTTLE SPRING" Please excuse me for being confused.

    Throttle Spring

    OK Guys, I'm confused. On my tractor, the throttle spring is currently routed in such a way as to pass in FRONT of, and more-or-less wrap around and attach behind the throttle shaft. This causes the spring to pull the linkage to the TO CLOSE position, which seems correct to me, other than...

    Adding a Proof Meter to an 8N

    Thanks... Sounds like what I REALLY needed was just some form of tach to get things in order and see where I'm at. Any recommendations along THAT line?
