    Proof meter

    I went to tsc today and picked up a new proof meter cable while I was there. The one that was on my 52 8n had the end of the cable broke off on the proof meter. The one that was on it was metal encased and the one I bought was plastic incased. The new one is about 2 inches too short. Are...

    starting issue finally solved

    been a little busy so it has been a while since I have been able to provide an update. after some serious frustrations, I finally took my 8n to my local tractor mechanic. I explained to him what it did, all the testing that I had done and what parts I had changed and how I did the settings...

    Re: starting issue update

    "Did you air test needle and seat before reassembling the carb?" no, which needle and seat? how do I perform this? I did clear all the ports with wire cleaner and plenty of air blown through. "Is the float air tight?" yes, when I got the new aftermarket carb I found that it had a defective...

    starting issue

    I will be rebuilding the one that came on the tractor as it was previously working. I really don't know if it is the original one or a POS one. It looks like a better built one. Has no markings but it does have an aluminum tag uner one of the bowl screws.

I then checked to see if I had it through the carb bowl. did not. replaced the elbow filter then I got fuel through the bowl. could not get fuel through the carb to the cylinders(at least...

    starting issue

    I replaced the entire fuel bowl assembly under the tank. I agree totally with your comment "I don't see the fuel issue cropping up and ignition failure at the same time." that is why I am asking for help. it has me stumped!! unless I have missed something, I am confident that I have resolved the...

    starting issue

    what do you mean by "You have yet to eliminate fuel flow as a problem."? I now have good flow through the bottom of the bowl and everything is set as it is to be on the carb itself. I have even shot the gasket with starter fluid while trying to start it thinking I might have a vacuum leak. is...

    starting issue

    my 8n with a side mount distributor wont start and I need some direction. let me start by saying what it did and what I have done thus far. I was out mowing for about two hours when all of the sudden the tractor decided to stutter a bit and then died all together. I was able to get it to run...

    howard installation update

    that is exactly how mine is. if you look down it straight on you can see the offset on the backside of the gears as well. I was probably over analyzing it to ensure no further problems. that makes me feel a lot better about leaving alone.

    howard installation update

    high fully engages. however when the drive gear sides to the rear of the tractor and onto the smaller "lower" gears is where it stops about a 1/4" away from the back plate. it is stopping when the differential shaft,the adapter shaft and the engagement shaft(don't know what else to call this...
