    420 T wheel spacing for plowing

    I have a 420 T I want to use to plow...unfortunately since the green paint makes plows so much more valuable, I will be using my AC 3pt 2-16 plow, the tractor manual does not address the wheel positioning...can anyone steer me to that info? TY Pete

    706G won't start, electrical issue

    I recently bought this tractor. It has always started right up. Last night, nothing when I hit the starter. Smoke started coming from under the cowl above the key. Is this a bad switch or some other short? I tried turning the switch on and off multiple times and it did start once in about...

    I need some help. If anyone can give me the measurements of the upper bushing ID and OD for my mv bolster bushing that would be awsum. Or even better if you know anyplace to buy them let me know. These are different from the narrow front and the short widefront. They have a different part...

    OT-- Zero Turn Mowers

    I have a Cub Cadet zero turn that I bought about a year ago. I mow about 3 acres every week. Does a beautiful job and doesn't take as long to mow as a conventional mower. Z is definitely the way to go. The only mechanical problem I've had with it is that it is great for a flat lawn. I tried...

    Oil Leak

    Thanks guys for the input. Today, I jacked up the rear end so I could mask and spray paint the rear wheels. It sat this way most of the day. Maybe all the oil ran to the front and came out this hole. It's back on the level now. I put a container under it and I'll check in the morning to see...

    Oil Leak

    Discovered a small puddle of oil under my 8N after it sat in the shop today. Until now it hasn't leaked oil. When I checked to see where it was coming from, I discovered a hole with a cotter pin in it. The cotter pin was put through the hole from inside the pan, and bent out. Oil was...

    Toggle Switch

    Bob, I can appreciate your concern about safety, if I had small children around. As far as security, I leave the key in it all the time. If I take it out, then I'll lose it. Anyone wanting to steal it is welcome to try, if they can get by the pit bull. But, I am 72 years old and and no...

    Toggle Switch

    Several people here have mentioned replacing the keyed starter switch with a marine grade, 25 amp, toggle switch. I have looked all over auto parts and boat stores in this area and cannot find one. Where can I get one? Thanks, Roy

    starter won't engage engine-revisited

    Well, it wasn't the battery. Dunk gets the gold star by correctly saying it was the bendix. The pin came out that holds it on the shaft. Not realizing it was missing, I pulled the starter shaft right out of the bendix and the bendix fell. But just a little bit. It was greasy and I only had...

    Starter runs but won't engage engine

    Thanks Ken, I'll try this before I take out the starter as well as Bill's suggestions to try to get it to turn over by pushing it in 4th gear. I can do most of the external stuff on the tractor, but I'm not ready to tear into the inside. I'm no auto mechanic, just a tinkerer and that only...

    Starter runs but won't engage engine

    If it is the starter bendix, that won't bother me that much. I have already replaced the starter before, so I know how to do that. After reading a lot of archives, I am concerned that it might be the ring gear, either missing a tooth or slipping on the flywheel. I really had rather not get...

    Starter runs but won't engage engine

    '50 8N, 6volt, side mount. Installed new starter about a month ago. Has cranked every day since with no problems. Today, it cranked a couple of times, then just quit turning over the engine. You can hear the starter run when you press the starter button, but the engine won't turn over. I'm...

    Drawbar

    I am just about finished restoring my '50 8N, side mount, 6 volt tractor, and ready to start using some of my attachments. I have a plow, a box scrape, a rear blade scrape, a disc harrow, a cultivator and a boom pole. I cannot see that any of this equipment would need a draw bar. The tractor...

    Proofmeter cable

    Thanks Brian. My cable came in today. I coated it good with lithium grease as you suggested. Tightened both ends real good. Hopefully, this will do the trick. Thanks for your response. Roy
