    8N not getting spark

    I would. Here’s my two cents: For me the front mounts are a fussy thing. I have one and if I take the distributor off and do a tune up I end up taking it out and putting it back a good three times and then suddenly she fires right up. About the time I am thoroughly disgusted it starts like I...

    Umbrella

    Where do you guys find the best canopy style umbrella top (Im sure here), and what is it I need to mount it to my 8N. Do I need any special kit to mount it to fenders? Any tips? I use it mainly in the summer to mow all of the electric fences for the cattle and its a cooker!!

    925 flex head

    Ive run my 922 head with plastic snouts since new and hated them. Last year I finally made old style metal ones. The plastic ones are huge cobs that run over beans like crazy. You have to go with the rows and then it wont feed right. I cussed those year after year. Dont switch.

    How many tractors you bought to farm with, have you sold

    The BIGGEST mistake I have made hands down was on a 4440. I had two - one with duals that pulled the 455 drill and one with singles that I sprayed with. When I upgraded to a 1760 planter and FWA tractor to pull it I traded the one with singles in. I went back the next day to buy it back and it...

    Its not a tractor, but IH

    Its a t18 for sure. I was kind of hoping that the input shaft was the only thing changed. There were a few transmission options listed in my B series parts book but I dont have a scout book so I cant be sure of that cross over.

    whats your oldest running tractor you have?

    I still grind feed every 10 days or so with my 1945 M Farmall. It was the first tractor I bought when I started farming. It was my loader tractor with a Horndraulic manure loader on it. It did about everything for a couple of years until things took off. Still doesnt use a drop of oil but it...

    Its not a tractor, but IH

    I know lots of us frequently click here. Ive got an old 61 B160 grain truck. I dont use it for grain any more, but hauling lots of other things. First/reverse is out due to hard abuse before me. Its got the t18 BW transmission in it but Im finding it has to be from an IH truck due to the input...

    IH truck help

    I acquired a 61 B160 to replace one of my older GMC straight trucks. Its needs a little love. I use Jim Carter and the Filling Station for my Chevies. Who deals in older big Binders? Is there a one-stop-shop for parts for these old creatures?

    8n with loader

    Growing up the row crop farm was an hour from the home livestock farm. At the home place (cows) we had an 8N as our loader tractor. It was amazing what one could accomplish with sheer determination and that little sucker. It didn’t even have a live pump - we just chained down the three point...

    Submersible pump setup help

    Years ago when I was a kid I remember firing a handgun into the well to open it. Has to be straight down. The goal isn’t to hit the side, it is to shock wave the junk loose and get water flowing. We always did it to windmill wells (central Kansas) so the demand wasn’t high, but it worked...

    Water in the oil

    It was clear. I run Fleetguard antifreeze in it just because of the cavitation. I mowed hay with it yesterday and worked the snot out of it. I just cracked the drain plug and got only fresh oil. No milkiness to it at all. I’m hopeful but planning for an in-frame come winter. It’s not really...

    Water in the oil

    I just changed the oil in the 886 and found about two tablespoons of water in the oil pan. I changed it about 10 hours early because it was showing steam out the draft tube and I had to add antifreeze. It is the first generation engine - the 360 with 3800 hours on the tractor. I know that...

    7800 PTO

    I was spreading fertilizer yesterday and the pto light and caution light began flashing along with a bell. I stepped the transmission down a couple of gears and it went away after a minute or so. Anyone know what that combination means? Tractor has MFWA, about 9000 hours, and I just had the...

    Kansas mechanic needed

    Actually, I spent my youth rebuilding air cooled VW engines and still own four of them and use those as my only car other than farm vehicles. I?ve farmed my whole life and can make my way around most any engine. Not just air (cooled). Quite an assumption there. My area is very dealer...

    Kansas mechanic needed

    I?ve had it without local Deere dealer. Had it! We?ve done business with them since the very first day they opened, but they have gotten too big and have no customer service left. They have also turned into parts throwers. I?ve always dealt with the owner and talked with him many times about the...
