    Loose PTO lever

    Sounds good. Somethings wrong and I hope it can be purchased after I tear that cover plate off that the shaft goes through. Is what it is I guess. Thank you kindly for your response.

    Loose PTO lever

    Been a long while since visiting here. Been working on a 1953 T030 all winter and finally have taken the restore as far as I care to, which has made it look really, really great. I have one issue to fix and am at a loss. The PTO lever is below the seat on the left side of the tractor and the...

    Carburetor Question

    h, alright. So we have an air screw and not a fuel screw. Rule of thumb motorcycles is if the screw is between the air intake and the carb its a air screw. If on the fuel side of the carb it s fuel screw. Gotcha. This tractor sat outside for two years. Don'tknow why farmers do that but is...

    Carburetor Question

    My tractor is a 1953 Ferguson TO30 and it has a Zenith Carb on it. I thought all these tractors came with the Marvel Schebler carb. Beside the point. The engine runs with the choke out and a touch of throttle but will instantly die choke in. Main and fuel jets have no effect on anything. I...

    Sediment Bowl Leak

    I got the sediment bowl to stop leaking, at least while the engine isn't running and vibrating. Out of a wild guess and desperation, I put gasoline and a tiny bit of motor oil in a jar lid and threw a new cork gasket in and let it soak all day. I then wiped off the gasket with paper towel and...

    Sediment Bowl Leak

    Thanks for the reply. I have tried every conceivable way to stop this leak and am convinced that the metal opening that mates to the glass bowl is warped. It has to be. The gasket is new, cork and perfect, the glass opening on the bowl is flat across all areas. Only thing left is the metal...

    Sediment Bowl Leak

    just ordered a pipe and shut off valve from Ebay last night. i can't go through this. If I gotta remove and dump the glass bowl what will happen? Gotta start this ordeal all over again. Might be in the field. No. I'll put a direct shut off on the tank just like my motorcycle has. Hefty...

    Sediment Bowl Leak

    This is definitely leaking around the gasket. I have two different bowls and the both leak at the gasket even with brand new cork gaskets. Maybe a fat O ring would conform to any deformity. I can't keep going through new valves.

    Sediment Bowl Leak

    Good idea but that ain't it. Just tried. I really think I have a gas shut off valve and bowl with a bad metal casting. Thats all I can think of. Shame on the manufacturer. I'm reading of these sediment bowl horrors everywhere.

    Sediment Bowl Leak

    Everything above the sediment bowl is dry as a bone. Nothing. Its the glass. One cork gasket leaks right away. If I stack two the leak starts in about a minute. Its nuts. The metal body gotta be warped. The glass is true flat. Put it on a glass counter. Perfect.. I've never seen the...

    Sediment Bowl Leak

    You may have it. The gas is always washing down the back side of the glass come to think of it. Always. I'll run out to the barn right now and check that. Odd that both units would have that issue but I'll check it out. Thanks again.

    Sediment Bowl Leak

    I replied below to one comment about the two separate shut off valves I'm using. Switched bowls and gaskets and still leaks. This is nuts! I'm not the most dim bulb on the ceiling by any means but this is just plain nuts. Simple mechanics and I can't make it work. The glass edge is...

    Sediment Bowl Leak

    Working with two seperate units here. New gaskets both units, switched the glass bowls around. Used neoprene gasket and even cut a gasket out of cork. Went to store and bought cork gaskets a bit thicker that fit absolutely perfectly. The leak hesitated for a full minute and then it slowly...

    Sediment Bowl Leak

    I know this issue has been beat to death and the fixes are obvious, but I've tried it all and can't stop the leaking bowl. PS: I have owned a BMW Motorcycle shop back in the eighties and have repaired and repaired and repaired but I've not run across anything as diabolically evil as this...
