    Tractor Won't Crank

    Once again - thanks in advance for everyone's assist - esp. Bruce. Here are results thus far: 1. Got lucky and found a farm-supply very close by with a huge 9N parts inventory as well as many complete 8,9 & 2 Ford tractors (and many others as well) for resto or parts, as appropriate...

    pressure washer pump cracked

    Grind off any protruding metal flush with an angle grinder. Its gotta be smooth and flush with the surrounding metal. Fire-up a "brazing torch". Give it the gas and adjust till you have a nice, hot blue flame. Using a brass brazing rod, simply build-up the bad area and call it a day. Go...

    BTW, just want to thank you Bruce for the hard work yuo have done on the "75 Tips". This is precisely the kind of information I need, going forward. Very nice work! I. By nature I am very analytical, careful, and I detest half-a#@**&@ work. There has evidently been a lot of that on this...

    Tractor Won't Crank

    Okay, here's what I finally figured out: 1. The serial number took forwever to find. This, because its been painted over with the thickest red paint ever made. I had to take the paint off to read it. Still, I am unsure of the number. [b:f3e4737a22] It is stamped on in a "wavy-gravy"...

    Thanks for asking - yes, it appears to be in neutral. There is free-play in the shifter left to right, so far as I can tell it is in neutral. Seems to have 3 forward gears and a reverse. Once again, thanks for your thoughts.

    Thanks for that.... as I mentioned below, I did see it, checked it out, couldn't exactly figure it out - but, I did turn the key and hit the button. Tried it 3 times. Nada. Oh well, looks like I'll have to check all the rest of the suggestions out. Of course, it would be parked in the back...

    I hope I am in the right forum. If I'm not, please excuse me - I'm a new member of the site. I bought a place here in OK and a tractor came with the place. Its a Ford 8N, 9N 0r 2N. The old boy who sold it to me spruced the thing up, but mechanically? Who knows. I saw it run in January...
