    Marvel-Schebler Carburetor

    My carburetor started flowing fuel out when I turned it off, so I bought a carb kit from here and proceeded to see what was wrong. I checked the float, it doesn't appear to have a leak (no fluid sloshing, does float) but it still sticks open. When i replaced the pin in the picture, that...

    Ford 860 - Loss of Power

    I replaced all the spark plugs (did not check gap on new ones), also replaced points, did not notice a change either way.

    Ford 860 - Loss of Power

    I have a Ford 860, converted to 12 volt. Tractor has run fine, went to drive it the other day and noticed that no matter how much throttle I have her, she wouldn't rev up like she had in the past. Hooked the brush hog up and she can't seem to power it when mowing. I stopped and checked...

    what kind of grass is this?

    I apologize but don't know my grasses really well. I have some of this growing around the barn, thought it was johnson grass but don't see the white rib that is supposed to be prevalent. Maybe big blue stem?

    brushhog PTO Shaft coupler ?

    So, I finally was able to remove the old shaft from the mower, but then realized that the "coupler" from the new shaft isn't the same size as the old one? Question is what's my simplest action to get it fixed?

    Brushhog PTO shaft removal ?

    (2 questions in a day, can you tell spring is here?) So i'm replacing my old PTO shaft that connects my Ford 860 to my brushhog. I removed the bolt that held it to the Howse brushhog and thought it would just slip off, but looks like it is held on with a clip? Is it and if so, is there a...

    Ford 860 Throttle question

    I've got a Ford 860 and when I'm doing work like mowing the throttle doesn't seem to want to stay so I'm operating at the 540 rpm mark, it feels like a spring is moving the throttle and slowing me down. At a standstill I can move the throttle to the operating RPM zone, but when mowing or...

    Ford Fuel Shutoff question

    So I need to do the repair that's posted on my leaky fuel shutoff valve. Question is do I need to remove the gas tank to do so, or can i get a bent screwdriver in there and remove the shutoff valve without taking the tank off? Thanks everyone! John

    Dearborn FlexDisc Question

    For now, I'll just run over the ground more and see if I can get the back end to stay down. I like the idea of a adding a pipe or piece of steel to keep it stationary without welding if needed. The only reason I was going to weld it was I thought that was the way it came from the factory...
