    Ford 641 starting difficult

    In addition to Wayne's good advice, I would say don't change the points or condenser since, as you said, it ran like a champ before you did all this. One thing is, did you put the metal clip into the new rotor? Most new rotors don't come with them and the rotor won't fit tight on the shaft...

    Carb Rebuild Problems

    Couple of comments/questions: As the other reply said, the old needle valve and seat might have been your original problem, probably you shouldn't re-use them. With the new needle and seat and float installed, holding the assembly in normal horizontal position you should be able to move the...

    Ford 961 painted just like its big brother

    It took me almost three years to finish the full-size one so I don't think you'd want to wait that long! I'm happy with the way it came out, tho. Got a blue ribbon at the Garrett Co fair. I can set it up as a narrow front like the little one as well. -Will

    Ford 961 painted just like its big brother

    Walking through a local shop, I noticed this Hubley Ford 961, with plow and wagon. I was just finishing up restoring my full-size 961 so I got this and used the same paint as on the big one. It was a little rough but not broken. Before- During painting- After painting- I...

    Ford 4000D SOS

    Good work! It took some courage to tear into an SOS tranny armed with just a shop manual, but the manuals from those days were well written (unlike today!). Tractor looks real nice, and sounds like everything now works right. I know what you mean about the tractor probably outliving you, I...

    Got the 961

    Nice machine, if you're like me, you'll love it ( I have a 961). Mine is set up as a wide front like yours but I got a NF pedestal for it from a salvage yard and you can change it over in about an hour. If you can find a NF for it (shouldn't be too hard) it would be good to keep the WF so you...

    Ford Farming 2016

    Great video, gets better as you go. Nice to see the old equipment still at work. Oddly enough, I have two classic cars I take to shows and the local club, a white Camaro like in the video, and an old Willys wagon, like you have sitting there. Thanks for sharing, and God Bless! -Will

    Ford 640 Fire and Fix

    Thank God the fuel tank didn't explode. To try to answer your question, the original fuel line had a rubber section and a metal section (to cope with vibration) and passed from the tank valve down along the engine behind the manifold to the sediment bowl. The picture shows how it comes down...

    Darn... No Sale!

    Too bad. How about the 981 (SOS) in the classifieds on this site? Has PA rims and says comes with a complete set of pie weights. Kinda in your neck of the woods, I think. Just sayin...

    Update on 641 project

    Nice work. Looks like the new fuel tank has provisions for the fuel gauge sender. Glad to hear another old Ford is running again. Hate to tell you but, that replacement fuel shutoff valve... it will probably leak too. -Will

    Hay field's coming along

    My wife and I don't farm but we let our neighbor farm this little 5-acre meadow on our place for the last 5 years. I got tired of mowing it. Two years of corn, a year of soybeans, last year hay and oats and this year just hay. It didn't look very nice with no-till crops so I kinda encouraged...

    old 4000 Carb leaking

    Remove the cap from the fuel tank to vent and open the shutoff valve. Then, if you remove the bowl drain (I think what you called the bottom nut) fuel should continue to drain. If it stops, then you have something plugged up either in the tank strainer, the line, or in the carb. Normally...
