    Help! Ford 20-16 Manure Spreader disaster

    This appeared in the local classifieds this morning. That cast gear looks very much similar to yours. These people however, wont take a part off, in most cases, they have been left an estate, they drag the stuff out of the barn and ask a ridiculous price.

    Help! Ford 20-16 Manure Spreader disaster

    Post a photo of the implement so we know what to look for. I know a guy with implements and tractors scattered over his farm from years of attending auction sales. He's got so much stuff he doen't know what he has. I got a personal tour in his pick up truck, it was, "that farms mine"and "that...

    9N for military buffs

    I'm not a tractor engineer nor did I work at the Ford 8N tractor factory in the tire and wheel department. I am just speculating, if you think you know why those holes are there please share your thoughts.

    9N for military buffs

    Yes, that is what I am suggesting but I don't know if tractor rims were balanced during production of these later model Fords. If they were balanced, it would be by removing steel by drilling holes in the manner you see on the photo I posted and not using weights such as lead as it was in...

    9N for military buffs

    The holes when I see them, are not the way around the rim. My guess is the holes were drilled to balance out the rims before paint and tires. I'm going to check the right side rear wheel today for those holes. The front wheels don't have them.

    Early ‘39 9n aluminum hood

    Why a reserve bid if the money is going to a childerens hospital? Are we suppose to believe the owner isn't selling because he's not getting enough for something he's giving away?

    Ford 3000 spark plug wire placement.............

    The tractor is running fine now. The only prep work on the new carb was moving a gas fitting from the front of the carburator to the back and putting some locktite on the course threads of the two studs and getting two new fine thread nuts and lock washers. I fit the carburator last night...

    Ford 3000 spark plug wire placement.............

    I need both arms and hands turn pull down on the fan belt to get a clockwise turn. Yes, plugs were loosened but still a hard pull. I had a zip tie in #1 cylinder to monitor piston action. And have a thick pair of gloves on.

    Ford 3000 spark plug wire placement.............

    That makes sense if one crank shaft revolution = half a rotor revolution. By the way I would recommend a you tube video titled "Ford 4000 tractor ignition system service & repair". Best Ford tractor video I have seen even if your tractor isn't a 4000.

    Found This Ford 900 in the Local Classifieds

    I'm guessing he is just across the detroit river from marine city michigan if you want to take a look. $4800 CAD is only $3400 u.s.

    Ford 3000 spark plug wire placement.............

    I never marked the bottom pulley to determine how much the flywheel turned. I was watching the rotor. I would say the rotor turned 1/2 a revolution because as I stated yesterday the rotor was pointing at the block at the timing marks. Could Ford have used one flywheel with different timing...

    9N for military buffs

    My 1947 Ford has those same size of holes and spacing on my rear rims, as those that are on the front wheels of the one pictured. What is the purpose of those holes?

    Ford 3000 spark plug wire placement.............

    So early today I decided instead of turning the engine over by hand then crawling underneath everytime to see if I was close I just removed the rotor cap and kept turning the engine clockwise until the rotor was close to the marker line I put on the distributor base. On the second try I...

    Ford 3000 spark plug wire placement.............

    It sounds like from what your saying it takes two rotations of the flywheel to get 1 TDC compression stroke. I will try again today to get TDC in my next revolution and pull the cap to see where the rotor is pointing.
