    8N Starter Button Malfunction

    I replaced the starter & solenoid on my '49 8N, and now the push button to start doesn't work. It's a one wire (green) to small terminal on solenoid. There are 2 small terminals on the solenoid - does it matter which one I use? I can jump start the tractor at the solenoid, no problem. If the...

    Aftermarket Carbs Are Junk

    FWIW, I can understand the interest (zeal?) in keeping an old machine original. For the past 2 years, my other 'hobby' had been restoring a '62 Thunderbird. I went through it, from first running, then stopping. She's now in the shop (paint & body) for looking good. It cost me more money, but...

    Aftermarket Carbs Are Junk

    OK, I went back out to my tractor shed one more time yesterday, and decided to give her one last try, before throwing in the towel on the TSC carb? With a little coaxing on the choke and several grinds on the starter, I finally got her to kick in and run. So I quickly jumped on and managed to...

    Aftermarket Carbs Are Junk

    OK, maybe ya'll didn't see my last reply? Here it is, in part: "So at this point, I will purchase a new (rebuilt) carb, either from this site or one of you guys? (Tim, I believe you said you had one ready to go? - Royse, yours looks good, too). If you guys will just quote me a price (I do...

    Aftermarket Carbs Are Junk

    Wow - thanks for all the feedback, Guys! Let me see if I can respond to all of them? (sorry, but I cannot remember, who said what?) I will have to look in the shop for my old original carb. It could be worth salvaging? Meanwhile, I have my back half-acre about knee-deep, and I really need to...

    Aftermarket Carbs Are Junk

    Ya'll may recall, about a year ago, she wouldn't hit a lick - I first went through all the electrical - replaced points, condensor, coil, and plugs - made no diff. As a last resort, I bought another junk carb at Tractor Supply and she fired right up. Now, same old story.

    Aftermarket Carbs Are Junk

    Well, in the past 3 years I've gone through 2 aftermarket carbs from Tractor Supply - they are junk! Both new carbs have failed - seems to be a float problem? (flooding gas out venturi) Anybody have a suggestion for a replacement? (I've looked at the ones from this company)

    8N Front-Mount Distributor Timing

    8N Front-Mount Distributor Timing

    R Geiger - BOTH I removed the bowl screw while ON the tractor - no gas came out. Then again, after I pulled the carb - shook it and it was EMPTY. I also removed the gas inlet tube, and only a few drops. As I have done everything I know to do on the 'timing' (distributor) problem...
