    Steering effort 8N vs 860

    Saw this today and it sounds like something I would have written! I too just switched from a '49 8N to a '55 860 - just finished bush hogging for the first time, and boy, what a workout steering this beast! I was running front tires at 20 psi - will add a few pounds next time (doubt it will...

    Sad news - the Tractor world has lost Bruce(VA)

    Ran into a retired co-worker this afternoon that I hadn't seen in years. He happens to live next door to Bruce Haynes - aka "Bruce(VA)" from Old Church, VA - many on this forum know Bruce from his generous assistance over the years with Ford 8N's. I was sorry to hear that Bruce just passed...

    8N Stalling issue

    Just wanted to provide a closing status on my issue - sure enough, it was the Ignition Coil. Sure was nice being able to cut my field today without it stalling several times. Thanks to all that responded!

    8N Stalling issue

    Usually before posting about an issue, I conduct a search on the forum to see if the issue has been discussed before. I got lazy today and just posted without looking around. I now see that there are several posts similar to my issue - that being said, I'll spare you guys from having to...

    8N Stalling issue

    Now that's something that makes sense! I was thinking if I took it in to the shop and told them the symptoms, I was afraid they wouldn't be able to diagnose it since it starts up fine, and only fails using awhile. Thanks for something concrete I can use!

    8N Stalling issue

    Interesting thought....no, I don't have a vented cap.

    8N Stalling issue

    I'm not sure how to bypass the ignition key - will have to research that one. I haven't checked my fuel filters lately. I have had a clogged filter at the Carb before, so I'm familiar with how the tractor behaves under that condition - my current issue does not match that symptom, but it's...

    8N Stalling issue

    Front Mount Distributor. Also, I negelected to mention that after stalling, it does struggle a bit to start up, but it usually does after a few tries - sputtering back to life.

    8N Stalling issue

    I have a 1949 8N thats suffering from a stalling issue. I use it to bush-hog my field (60 cutter). When I first start it up, it starts great - on first crank. It runs fine for the first 45 mins to an hour, than the fun begins. More often than not it stalls when the tractor is under an...

    8N sputtering and cutting out

    Problem solved - Roger in Iowa was on the right track. The Carb Screen was full of lint-like debris! I guess that's what I get for running without a Sediment Bowl Screen. Funny thing is I just checked that screen a month ago when I was working on my fuel shut-off leak. I guess I didn't give...

    Thanks GaJack - I will certainly check that out.

    8N sputtering and cutting out

    Thanks Roger for the question. When I discovered there was a PTFE for fuel connections (Gasoila), I thought I'd give it a try. But you make a good point - in this case, I don't think I had any leakage at any of the thread connections. I doubt that any of the PTFE is in the fuel line - if it...

    8N sputtering and cutting out

    Thanks Bruce - I sent you an email.

    8N sputtering and cutting out

    Thanks Soaked - I'm familiar with the elbow connection that has the screen (your white arrow). Tomorrow, I'll unscrew the plug (red circle) to ensure there is adequate fuel flow through the carb.
