    8N refuses to start all of a sudden

    My 8N, that I have had for 60 years, will not start. I had parked it for a while, not having any trouble, and then I charged the battery. When I tried to start it, the engine would spin real fast. Like there was no compression. When I could get a cylinder to fire, it seemed to only be firing...

    How did you fix your hydrostatic steering problem? Did you have the steering cylinder rebuilt? Did you do it yourself? I'm having the same problem on my John Deere 6330.

    Hydraulic steering problem John Deere 6330

    There.isn’t any signs of leaking. Can the failure your talking about occur without any leaks?

    Hydraulic steering problem John Deere 6330

    I have the one big cylinder with two rods coming out. After I do all that, what exactly is it going to prove or help me fix? I’m just not certain what I will need to do next.

    Hydraulic steering problem John Deere 6330

    Here is an update… I changed the filters and the fluid. That made a big improvement. However, I am still fighting the steering wheel. It seems like I am constantly steering. I can’t’ hold the steering wheel still and continue in the that direction. If I am turning right or left I have to...

    Hydraulic steering problem John Deere 6330

    I've had someone tell me that if a screen is clogged steering would be the first to be affected. So maybe I need to change that screen and maybe a new filter. I have no idea where these are.

    I do have a fine collection of hammers and crowbars just waiting for something to do.

    Hydraulic steering problem John Deere 6330

    I think I have a problem with my John Deere 6330 hydraulic steering and I’m in the middle of cutting and baling hay. Great. It seems while I’m sitting still I can slowly turn the steering wheel and nothing will happen. When I turn it quickly, I can move from full left to full right and even...

    how do you install closure clamp on side vent glass (John Deere 6330)

    Today, my side glass disconnected from the closure/opening hardware. It opens about 3 inches and is used a a big vent. There is a screw/bolt that came loose but I have no idea how to reconnect it. I can place the bolt into the hole in the glass and it will fit all the way in buy loosely. I...

    Governor lags when tractor is stressed (8N Ford)

    Interesting idea. I could see that happening. So maybe I could retard the distributor to give more low end power? Another way to repeat my problem… I can be mowing at full power, No missing, engine running great. Then I get into some high, thick grass that starts to pull down the RPMs...

    Governor lags when tractor is stressed (8N Ford)

    So maybe I need to tighten the spring? Would this cause the trottle to open faster as the balls (weights) move to their at rest position because of a drop in RPMs?

    Governor lags when tractor is stressed (8N Ford)

    I am wondering if loosening the spring “2” in the picture will allow the governor to react quicker to an RPM drop. Right now, I still have the lag.

    Governor lags when tractor is stressed (8N Ford)

    I’m sure my carburetor is from “the land of almost right”. But it works great. Are the shims purpose in the governor to just increase the throttle resting speed at the higher RPMs when the governor is engaged? Or when the RPMs decrease under load and the governor disengages (ball bearings go...
