    Replacing points/condensor on front mount

    OK, this is what I found... after replacing the coil it still would shut down after a while. I found the ignition switch was bad... replaced it and everything has been all right since. Thanks for all the replies...

    Replacing points/condensor on front mount

    How do most of you do this? Pull the entire unit off as a whole, remove hood, gen and radiator? I just put a new coil on and it will run for about 2 min and shut down with no spark. I want to just replace everything at this point. Thanks for any replies...

    48 8n

    Old is right on time. I neglected a water pump just for a short while and while using the tractor one day the fan lost a blade and it went right into the radiator. Then I had to buy the water pump, fan, radiator and a new belt. Don't neglect the water pump as it is not much trouble to replace...

    49 8n shuts down after bush hogging...

    Got the clutch freed, now a ? about generator...

    Thanks for all the replies on my stuck clutch. She freed up on her own, just blocked the petal as some recommended. Thanks!! My 6v generator is a little noisey and I was wondering if anyone out there rebuilds them? Thanks for any replies... I really enjoy this site...

    clutch won't disengage

    Thanks for the reply... I had the starter off a few weeks ago to replace the solinoid and yes the starter came apart, brushes and all. Took me a while to get it back together. This was definately a learning experience. Thanks to all for the replies and helpful info...

    clutch won't disengage

    When I adjusted the clutch, I could have sworn this adjustment hadn't been moved since 1949. But with a little patience and some JB Blaster, I was able to move the buckle 1.5 rounds. If pulling the trumpet is going to be anything like this, I think I'll leave it up to someone else to do the job...

    clutch won't disengage

    The hyd fluid has been leaking from the left lift arm. The level is low at this time. I just read a post about removing the starter and spraying brake fluid in and around flywheel. I guess letting the fluid get low would cause things to seize up. I am going to fill up the gearbox with hyd fluid...

    clutch won't disengage

    My hydrolic fluid has been leaking and now the clutch won't disengage. Does the hydrolic fluid have anything to do with the clutch? I adjusted the clutch last weekend and was able to use the tractor but today the clutch is not disengaging and won't let me put it in gear. I have a 1949 8N. Thanks...
