    Cannot get over the hump with this 8N failing to start the 2nd time

    @timsch "I have some of those connectors that have the solder band" For butt joints? What I pointed out were the Wirefy heat-shrink end connector kits. They do come with butt connectors, in the larger heatshrink kits, but they are not the solder type, and the jacket is not clear. Heatshrink...

    Cannot get over the hump with this 8N failing to start the 2nd time

    Ignition wire kits are easy to come by and hard to screw-up. I think last time we got a coil, it was from STEINER TRACTOR. Yesterday's has a store, too https://www.yesterdaystractors.com/Ford-2N_Coil-12-Volt_12VOLTCOIL.html or...

    Tire low, already filled. What do I do?

    I got a new tube from the local tractor dealer. They said to press down on the bead with enough force to pop it off, then use a prybar or big tire spoons to work it off the rim. The schrader valve and stem are all fused together from the crap that was put in there. I'll have to cut the stem off...

    Bad ignition wires. Replace! Your coil is getting enough power on the primary (low voltage, 12v) but the secondary is shorting to ground. Those wires degrade internally. Get modern high-voltage spark plug wires. The kit for the ford 4 cyl is not expensive. Yes, you will have to take off the...

    Tire low, already filled. What do I do?

    Who's writing the check? It's half the cost to buy a used tractor with good tires and rims, than do that. Ah, ok. It feels like it's mounted in something rubbery. Trying to figure out if the tire already had a tube inside, and the prior owner filled the tube, and the flex I'm feeling is the...

    Tire low, already filled. What do I do?

    I think the problem I'm having with that, is there is no usable 'valve' on the top, anymore. On the other tire, I can completely unscrew the schrader valve. That's not the same as unscrewing the valve inside the schrader like you might do on a bicycle tire to add slime. This seems completely...

    Cannot get over the hump with this 8N failing to start the 2nd time

    You can adjust the float. Somewhere there is a service guide, on how much clearance there is supposed to be, when the floats hang down, so the floats can lift the valve enough, and close the needle valve at the right height. The float is easy to bend, so opening and closing the carb (cleaning it...

    Tire low, already filled. What do I do?

    Hi, some form of this question has already been asked before, so I apologize in advance. Here is a photo of the valve: I can wiggle it around, so it's attached to something flexible (the tube? is there a tube? I assume so...). But it's too corroded to add/remove anything from/to it. The...

    Ford 850 carb swap?

    It worked. It turns out the TSX-706 already had the Viton-tipped needle valve, and the rebuilt N did not. I could not get the brass seat out of either, so I used a narrow stepless cone bit (Harbor Freight), and by hand, gently spun it against the seat to make sure the surface was flush and free...

    Ford 850 carb swap?

    I have an N- carb. I bet it has the same needle valve and seat. And the same gasket. It was rebuilt, but due to the material ford used vs todays so-called 'gasoline' mixture of corn alcohol and real gasoline, was degrading too fast. That's when I just bought a decent N carb replacement for ~$35...

    Ford 850 carb swap?

    I don't have the carb or tractor handy to do precise measurements: I worked on it today. I'm seeing 3 carbs in the catalog: The zenith 13877 carb which has a bolt spacing of 2 6/16's and "replaces a TSX706". A carb EAE9510D with spacing of 2 5/16's And a carb EAE9510D-OE with a spacing of 2...

    Ford 850 carb swap?

    Yeah... I'm getting that it's not a direct replacement, unfortunately. This is the TSX706 and I'm seeing it's the carb superceding the TSX593. $53 for the rebuild kit. The pictures are too fuzzy on the $48 kit, and so I cannot determine if the float valve seat/needle is included, and there is no...

    Ford 850 carb swap?

    Ford 850 I think 1965. Has a TSX 706 on there now. Has the typical issues of sticky float valve etc. The magic w these is to install a quick valve on the 1/8" drain, instead of that rotten and unreachable plug design. And drain it after every use. It will fill exactly 1 gerber food jar, and you...

    back up camera Ford 860

    Analog 7" display and an analog camera together are about $50 or less. Sorry don't have links atm. Searching ebay for 'backup camera', and 'backup display' I see several offers of PAL/NTSC cameras with an analog RCA video output and 12v input. Displays from 5-7" with at least one RCA input. You...
