    1952 Ford 8N

    The one we worked on last year didn't like having a thermostat in it. I know some say it needs to be in there but it boiled over with it in and has been doing fine since it was removed. Maybe it was a new faulty thermostat but--------

    '74 3000 hydraulic piston pump/three point hitch issues

    Helping a friend here so--- The three point hitch hasn't worked since she bought the tractor. It had a stuck flow control valve assembly and she bought another from a local tractor salvage yard that appeared to be in good condition and not stuck but still no difference with 6 gallons of new...

    OT- Boiling water and lemon juice to clean a carb real good?

    No, that is just a plug they install after they cross drilled the body. The check ball may be in the lower float bowl. You may hear it if you shake it.

    Does anyone know what this is?

    It may or may not be a tractor part

    OT- Boiling water and lemon juice to clean a carb real good?

    There is probably a check ball in the system. It may be stuck. From the pics I would think that fuel should come up through the tube in the middle of the float bowl

    8n has spark, no ignition

    Possibly a bad key switch, even though it is new. I would check for voltage at the distributor when you are getting no spark. A test light would suffice here. Some digital volt meters don't like the copper plug wires

    9N over heating

    The '40 we fluffed a while ago was doing the same thing. Mark removed the thermostat(in the top hose) and it quit overheating.

    restoration/reassembly of completely disassembled 1940 9n

    Lava flows??? Where do you live??? IMO, you have to clear coat it. Anything else would make his hard work and sweat pointless, including the 100's of roloc pads he had to go through :wink: ---IMO. and I've never seen one clear coated before which would make it uncommon compared to every...

    Battery keeps dying.

    With everything off and you disconnect either main battery terminal and see a spark, you have a draw/drain---somewhere. With it draining in an hour, it would probably be a hefty spark. Isolate wiring one thing at a time until the sparks goes away and go from there. Good luck!!

    Getting very frustrated

    It sounds like two electrical component problems or one ground problem. I'm favoring one ground problem. The not turning over issue could be the mechanical switch under the battery where the batteries main negative wire attaches(if stock 6 volt positive ground) on the right terminal with the...

    21" motorcycle tire as a liner for 19" front tires

    My recent question as to what could be done to keep thorns out of the front 19" tires/tubes led the tractor owner Mark to install used 21" motorcycle street tires inside the 19" tractor tires as liners. He first razer knifed a slice about 1 1/2" from the bead and used the slice to insert his...

    1939 9n turning over, getting spark, getting fuel, no start

    That is what it appears. The starter button that you push on a stock '39 is just a mechanical lever that pushes on the starter switch located under the battery. It is also a mechanical neutral safety switch. A simple ohms or voltage check should tell you whether it is working or not. The...

    OT Kohler 18 hp twin cylinder

    The solenoid is called an anti back fire valve or something like that--or so I have been told. Cut of the stem and install an inline gas valve and replace the float needle valve. The passages in these carbs jets are so small that just a little varnish build up is enough to bugger up the works.

    2n wont start slow crank

    The spinning is the bendix kicking out. When you remove the starter you should clean the mounting surfaces on the starter and block for a good electrical path. While you have the starter out to replace the bendix(if you are so inclined) go ahead and take to to your local rebuilder for a check...
