    History

    Bruce, you must live right on the route of JEB Stuart's ride around McClellen in 1862. Or at least pretty close to it. This post was edited by RobBruno on 05/09/2022 at 05:48 am.

    9N Questions

    I just sold a non-running 1941 9N. I had a thread on here about a month ago if you wanted to search to see the pictures of the tractor. My motor would turn over, but I didn't have it running. Had good rubber like yours but I had the original front rims and tires. Didn't have a loader. It...

    1941 9N For Sale

    Tim, Unfortunately, the belt tightener was not there when I got it. They seem to be a rare piece, but it wasn't there when I got it. The motor is not stuck. It turns over freely. That is why I was hoping just a ring soak would work which I think it did. Again, just don't have the time...

    1941 9N For Sale

    I have a 41 9N that I wanted to see if anyone on the forum would be interested in before I try to sell else where. The previous owner told me it was a 41. The engine doesn't not have a stamp on the side, so at some point it was replaced. Ok, the bad first. I got this tractor with several...

    OT, Mowing and length of grass

    Thanks for the information. I didn't know the weeds grew from the top down. I will pay attention to when the weeds to try and prevent them from going to seed. Outside of that, it sounds like it is best to not mow to often. I too mow maybe 3 or 4 times a year depending on rain. I will try...

    OT, Mowing and length of grass

    You are right about the acidity. I have had the soil tested and I needed to add lime to the soil. For those last three years, I have been putting lime down. I have been doing that in the spring and the fall. The test also showed that I need 46-0-0 and 0-46-0 which I have been adding each...

    OT, Mowing and length of grass

    Rob, if you want to enhance the productivity of your pasture consider dividing it. Move the horses off an area before they graze it down to nothing, which eventually kills those desirable grasses. If possible try to run your dividing fence to include some of the tall and some of the short on...

    OT, Mowing and length of grass

    Thanks for the feedback. Sounds like the advantage to mowing is trying to keep the reseeding down which makes sense. There are areas of my pasture that never really grow to any height. They are mainly the areas where the horses it to the ground. The areas that I end up mowing other then the...

    OT, Mowing and length of grass

    I just finished my first mowing of my pasture and want to get opinions on length of grass. My pastures are use for grazing of my couple horses. The pasture are not manicured, but are in pretty good shape. I have a mix of grasses in the field. I have spread a pasture mix at times to help...

    Rehab of a Fordson 9N (SN 9N13647)

    If you are still looking for machine shops, you may want to contact Burtonsville Machine. It has been a while, but I worked there through college and when I first started teaching to help ends meet. I rebuilt my 8N motor there. Now, that has been at least 25 years ago and I think the shop has...

    '41 9n No Compression, What to do?

    Ultradog, yes, I watched the valves and they were all moving. They would bottom out on the lifter. Now, I understand that just cause they bottom out on the lifter, that doesn't mean they are sealing. I will try the test from the links that were posted. I pulled the head because I could see...

    '41 9n No Compression, What to do?

    I posted a while back that I had picked up a non-running '41 9N that had no compression. I checked with a compression gauge both dry and wet and very light compression. I pulled the valve cover and manifold to check the valves. When I spin the motor over a very slight puff is heard from the...

    '41 9N Low Compression

    I was thinking about removing the valve cover as well. I am just surprised it got worse. The valves are moving. I can see that through the spark plug hole. But, they could certainly not be seating correctly. I think I will do the cover before the head and see what I can find. I have another...
