    Any tricks on making a temporary gas tank

    Mine has a fuel pump so first I had a jug but Lawn mower tank works too.

    I'm buying it: 1951 Ford 8N

    No. I don't think the starter has been out since the late 70s. It still runs points. From 1986 to about 2018 it had a poorly converted Delco 10si alternator with car-sized belt. In 1986 there was no internet to chase diagrams so we kind of kludged it together. It got a Chrysler ceramic...

    I'm buying it: 1951 Ford 8N

    I keep hearing about dead starters when converted to 12V but I can say with absolute certainty that my dad's Jubilee was converted to 12V in 1986 and has never had 1 issue with the starter since. If it died today I would not blame the 12v.

    I'm buying it: 1951 Ford 8N

    I'm going to split the difference. I like 12V for all the reasons mentioned, but have no problems with points. If I was in the OPs shoes, I would get a 12V battery and a set of points-especially with the side mount distributor. Replace the points and disconnect the wires to the generator and...

    Wanted Wanted used 8N Hood Vent Door (8N9661) in white

    I need a vintage looking white hood vent/air cleaner door for an 8N. I have a new one, but it doesn't match. Need one in decent shape that will more closely match-but it doesn't have to be perfect. I'm trying to keep the vintage working look on my v8 conversion. I don't need the funnel or...

    Mini ALT for 9n or no? Apology.... and the results of it all

    Stewart Warner 82112 is a pretty nice 12V voltmeter that kinda matches. It is provisioned as lighted but you don't have to put the light in it.

    Help identifying a carburetor and is it worth rebuilding?

    Cores do bring good money on Evilbay if you are not going to use it.

    6V Battery Recommendations?

    I know this post is ancient, but still a good question. I'm a swap to 12v and be done kinda guy, but if I had to have a 6V I see Fleetpride has a Group 1 6V Deka for $139. I think Deka/East Penn makes some very good batteries. I might also look at a 6V golf cart battery, but you would...

    1950-51 8N whim purchase **OH BOY! IM IN TROUBLE**

    Point 1. If I did a new tank I would do a new valve and hardline to the carb with it. Then it's all new to the carb, no rust to worry about.

    1950-51 8N whim purchase **OH BOY! IM IN TROUBLE**

    Compression numbers don't seem that bad. Sounds like tank, valve, and new fuel line is a start-get clean reliable fuel to the carb. Probably should rebuild the original carb, the aftermarkets are not held in high regard. What is beyond repair on the original carb?

    Will she start?

    That is strange. The Dowden foot feed operates by setting a base throttle with the hand lever and then the foot pulls it further back to speed up. See post 25. So the foot is connected to the throttle and the loop is on the hand lever. This one when you push the clutch the loop moves forward...

    1939 Ford 9N won’t start(video)

    That's not "not turning over". That is not starting. Is it getting spark? If it is, is it getting fuel? Probably 1 of those 2 things.

    In search for a carb for my ford 8n

    I sold 2 cores to a guy on Ebay "928nt_60". Can't speak for performance on his finished work but they look nice and he knew a whole lot about them. He has 100% feedback. https://www.ebay.com/itm/397778511222

    value of 8n/9n tractors

    Probably could have bought both for $1200. The Shermans and tires/wheels are worth more than that alone. Probably could make 1 run and keep both transmissions. Sounds like a good deal.
