    How to prevent sway on lift bars

    Bob, Could you clarify the difference for those of us likely misusing terms? Thanks.

    How to prevent sway on lift bars

    I'm getting the impression from pictures that the sway bars only work for a fixed position, is that correct? The deal with the carry-all is I'm always dropping it down to load or unload (which also works as a darned good parking brake), lifting it for transport or if I want to save my back...

    How to prevent sway on lift bars

    Just ignore the blue stays; they were on there while I had the drawbar on, though they serve the same purpose exceot for only working while the drawbar remains at one fixed height. You'll see the chains anchored to some brackets coming off the bottom of the PTO housing. They go to those...

    How to prevent sway on lift bars

    Do the sway bars allow you to work the lift bars up and down? Or do they get locked in once the load is up or down? In other words, can I use the lift as normal?

    How to prevent sway on lift bars

    Looking for help on how to keep my carry-all box from swinging the lift bars hard into the tires/treads and under the fender wells. The previous owner had some eye-bolts as pins for the lift bars, and chains from these to a couple of brackets under the PTO. However, with a load of wood in the...

    Looking for advice on throttle problem

    Disclaimer, I tried searching the archives, but couldn't come up with any unique enough keywords to find what I'm looking for. My 48 8N is starting and running well, unless I increase the throttle, or under load, the governor increases the throttle. Then it wants to stall. Trying to back...

    troubleshooting electircal system

    Dell - Is the engine turning over any proof that the ignition is working correctly or is turning over and spark not necessarily linked?

    troubleshooting electircal system

    Bruce, yes; sorry, I was actually originally just asking for where to find some information on self-diagnosis and planned to do my research first before asking more specific questions here. However, since we're on it; its a 1948 8N, 6V front mount.

    troubleshooting electircal system

    Dell - you're correct on the front mount. I've had it off and on a number of times no troubles there; I know the drill on aligning etc. I had previously rebuilt it and it was running but not outstanding and then I couldn't get it to start at all. So this time since I had one, I put in a new...

    troubleshooting electircal system

    I know this has been discussed many times, but I'm struggling with the Search feature. Can someone point me to electrical system troubleshooting? After rebuilding the carb I couldn't get so much as a pop. There was spark when I pulled the plugs, but I figured I'd go ahead and rebuild the...

    Why is 8N Reverse so darned high?

    OK, then why not share 1st, or would that not physically been possible with the given layout? Speaking for how I use the tractor, I'd take a gearing closer to 1st than 2nd if I had a choice.

    Front mount Distributor Bushing tolerence.

    So I have this same question now, as I just received front and rear bushings that I had intended to press fit in w/ a bench top press. Am I going to need to do something to make the rotor shaft fit properly? I had assumed everything was to the correct tolerances. The manual just says replace...

    Why is 8N Reverse so darned high?

    Is that true that it shares 2nd gear? The manual shows its not exactly the same gear reduction; just slightly higher than 2nd.

    Why is 8N Reverse so darned high?

    I'm sure this has been answered before, and its really just for my own edification, since I'm sure there's no easy way to change it, but what were they thinking? Trying to back up up-hill can be a real nuisance, and in general I rarely want to back up as fast as the tractor wants to, e.g...
