    Simple (?) Hydraulic question

    Can you explain what a “flapper” is? Do you mean like what can happen with rubber brake lines on older vehicles where the rubber deteriorates internally and can block fluid movement in one direction? How would I test/check a line? I’m open to this possibility as I “think” the max lift height...

    Simple (?) Hydraulic question

    Ford 850 (1955) with a Wagner model 100 or 130 loader. My loader has never been able (since I’ve owned it) to lift the bucket more than about a foot and a half off the ground and then slowly sinking down without using the controls. I just lived with it as I only use the machine to bush hog and...

    Ford 850 OEM Tires? Tubed? Fixable?

    Mechanically inclined but newish to old tractors. Right rear tire developed a leak in the tread area (see pic). That’s when I discovered that tire was filled with liquid Other side is not. The sidewall indicates it is a 13.6”x28” tire. But it also says 12”x28” which is confusing (see pic)...

    850 - I THINK it’s a carb issue

    I’m in Zillah. ‘Bout 20 miles south of Yakistan. I miss the west side .

    850 - I THINK it’s a carb issue

    That’s my guess. Maybe driving rain (I do live in WA). Guess I’ll need to pop the cup off and check whenever I bring it out of hibernation.

    850 - I THINK it’s a carb issue

    Appreciate the help. To assuage your concern about ”really” putting a load on it, I ran the bush hog over half an acre and then swapped to the rototiller and ran it as deep as it’ll go over an 1/8 acre three times with great success. That’s as much of a load as it’ll ever experience in my...

    850 - I THINK it’s a carb issue

    UPDATE: The milkshake air filter oil cup situation was a red herring. Still needed to be dealt with though. The real issue was the main jet needle needing another 3/4 turn out (richer). Runs excellent now! It ran good before this debacle, so what changed? Did the needle vibrate closed 1/2 a...

    Air filter oil level?

    That was my bet too. And, yes……yes they are.

    Air filter oil level?

    That was my gut feeling. But, there is also marks on either side of “Oil Level” too.

    Air filter oil level?

    850. Oil cup on air filter has confusing marks for full. One up high says “oil level“and the one down much lower says “Hi”. See pic. Which one is the correct fill level?

    850 - I THINK it’s a carb issue

    It runs fine at 3/4 throttle so wouldn’t that mean flow isn’t an issue? It only dies out at the slightest hint of a load.

    850 - I THINK it’s a carb issue

    UPDATE: Checked the sediment bowl and carb bowl for ice/water - just clean fresh fuel found. I remembered something that happened when I first started it up a day or so ago and had this issue. During cranking there was kind of a cough and I saw a blast of clear water shoot into the air near the...
