    TO30 electrical system overdone continued

    The linkage is gone. Maybe removed to install a Sherman from a Ford.

    TO30 electrical system overdone continued

    Does the original starter switch actuator have to be removed to install a Sherman? I have one in my TO30.

    TO30 electrical system overdone continued

    In the goofy arrangement with the solenoid the starter switch was jumpered-- used as a terminal block. The starter switch is new and never been used.I know that because there is no wear on the button because there is no actuator that I can see or feel. What does it look like? Where can I buy...

    electrical system overdone

    Thank you. I did not know what I was looking at. I can now at least straighten out the starter switch part of the mess tomorrow.

    electrical system overdone

    I guess what I think is a terminal block must be the actual top of the original starter switch and there was no solenoid at all. Hopefully I'm starting to see the light. The starter switch looks new, maybe this will be easy to fix. Man , the guy that did this worked hard to complicate a fine...

    electrical system overdone

    I have a TO-30 that I bought this winter. The electrical system was changed to 12V by the previous owner (an electrician). It is done very neatly but has some features I don't like. Now I just finished converting my 8N to 12 volt and understand the process pretty well but a few things must be...

    rotary mower

    Spring might come here to Michigan today. I am feverish to hook up the brush hog to my 8. What is the proper way? I will be clearing rough ground. Should I use a chain top link? Should I use stabilizer bars? Any other suggestions?

    gear box lube

    I just changed it. There was no moisture. Used gear lube with a touch of STP. Thanks for your thoughts.

    gear box lube

    I can only find a fill and a drain. I guess since there is some in it and the seals do not leak I'll run it as is (if the snow melts) 'til I get to a Ford dealer.

    gear box lube

    I have learned once again that it is best to buy stuff already fixed up than to buy and fix it yourself. After several days of grinding cutting and welding I am down to checking the lube in the gear box of a Ford series 908 model 22-127A 5' mower. Does anyone know what kind of lube? It does...

    confessions of a moron

    What's next is try out the new chains and get stuck. Then before spring fix the growl in the trans then the very loose rear hubs.

    confessions of a moron

    The engine would idle with about 3/4 choke very nicely. That probably created enough vacuum to open the butterfly. The passage that was clogged was the uppermost of the two idle holes in the bore of the carb. One is above the butterfly and one is below when the throttle is closed. On mine it...

    confessions of a moron

    My 8 would not idle. I was told on this forum it was fuel starvation. It was. I 'rebuilt' that sucker 5 times. I thought I had it once with float adjustment but it tricked me. Desperately wanting to be smarter than a tractor I tore into it again. Disassemble inspect and clean. Since idle...

    won't idle

    Changed float setting. now idles with idle screw almost all the way in--maybe set float again-maybe not. Thank you all for the help.

    won't idle
