    1951 Ford 8n will not start

    Well guys with your help we figured out what was wrong, I did as was suggested and move my plug wires by one position on the distributor (I went towards the rear) and she fired right up. Thanks everyone for all of your help, it's great that there is a place to get help.

    1951 Ford 8n will not start

    I haven't tried to pull start it because I have a loader on the front' so it makes it difficult. I will check all of the lobes and make sure they all measure .025 this weekend, gets dark right after work so it will have to wait till Friday. I'll keep you posted on my findings.

    1951 Ford 8n will not start

    Davis 101A Removal

    thanks for the post Ultradog MN, I have a cherry picker and a hoist on a A-frame. I didn't even think to remove the bucket to make things easier (safer). I will look tonight at what I can remove to make removal a safer endeavor, kind of like my hands and fingers where they are not to mention...

    Davis 101A Removal

    Does anyone have any literature or procedures on how to remove a Davis 101A loader? Looks fairly straight forward, but I was wanting to do it safely so I figured I would ask. I found the parts and operation manuals but nothing for removal or installation.

    1951 Ford 8n will not start

    there is plenty of suction on the carb and my hand did smell like gas when I removed it. The tractor sounded like it was going to start but never did. When I removed my hand it was almost like the puff of smoke that came out the carb was hot, almost like it is having detonation take place in the...
