    Sabotaged 8N

    It hadn't rained here in weeks and the gas was added to the tractor the same day it was purchased. It was also added to an antique car stored in the garage. No problems with the car in the garage. The tractor is stored outside and I would like to install a game camera, but I know very little...

    Sabotaged 8N

    In the 30 years of owning this tractor I have always opened the valve all the way and never had a problem. The tractor ran fine a couple of weeks before this problem occurred. I really think someone added over a quart of water to the tank.

    Sabotaged 8N

    I always run my 8N with the fuel valve full open. About 2 weeks ago, my 8N started right up as usual, but shortly stalled and refused to start. After multiple attempts to start, the starter motor was acting strange. It was then I noticed two liquid phases in the sediment bowl. I drained the...

    Front Mount Distributor

    I am trying to disassemble the cam from the drive shaft. I removed the ring retainer and the washer that seems to be the retainer for the cam. Should the cam lift off from the centrifical weights?

    Front Mount Distributor

    I have a couple of used original distributors that have siezed centrifugal advance mechanisms. I have one soaking in Kroil and the other in gunk. The distributor bodies were clogged with somewhat hard carbon. There isn't evidence of rust being the siezure cause. One the drive end of one of...

    8N front mount dist no spark

    It was running fine 2 weeks ago when parked. Still 6 volt. Cranked over strong, but nothing but the smell of gas. Replaced the dist with another that I had ready to go, but still nothing. Could be a bad new condensor or bad ignition switch or ballast resister. I will check them for...

    Aftermarket Carburetor

    IMHO $150 for a carb core is way too high. I am not surprised that he is not selling any.

    50 8N overheating

    If it were me, I would get this: Lisle 75500 Combustion Leak Detector. I think you are getting combustion gases injected into the coolant.

    8 n radius socket mounting bolts

    Mine mounted on 3 studs with I think 11/16 fine thread nuts. I can verify the hex nut size tomorrow.

    governor bushing

    I would thread it and with a bolt, flat washer and pipe nipple pull it out by tightening the bolt. Don't damage or loose the thrust washer under the bushing. It may come out with the bushing in place, but I can't remember. Good luck.

    1939 9N

    I lived in Lockwood when I was 7 years old. Went to a 2 room school house and a Catholic church in Van Etten that had just a basement. I live near Poughkeepsie now, otherwise I would help.
