    H Farmalls--Show of hands...

    Here’s my H that was purchased new by my grandfather 4 months before I was born in 1949. It’s currently retired and only used for parade duty and tractor rides. This picture was taken early last October pulling the parade float from the museum that I volunteer at near Dayton Ohio.

    1952 Ford 8n Won’t Crank After Use

    Tyler, in my opinion you‘re still confusing people with your “turn over” phrase. To most of us not “ turning over” means the engine is completely dead and does not rotate when you push the starter button. As already mentioned fuel would have nothing to do with that. I think that your engine...

    Farmall H Generator

    Thanks to everyone that replied to my post. Thanks to your help I now have a functioning charging system. The problem turned out to be the nice shiny paint job the overhaul shop did. A little bit of sandpaper to knock some of that paint off of the 3 mounting flanges got it going. I do think that...

    Farmall H Generator

    Charlieu, first of all thank you for your quick response. What you described is exactly how I know that the 4 position light switch is supposed to work. Im very suspicious of my cover having a good ground to the light switch box and will get everything cleaned up tomorrow. The box itself is...

    Farmall H Generator

    This is on a 1949 H, magneto ignition and the original 3 brush generator with a cut out, no voltage regulator. Charging had been erratic for quite some time and finally quite completely a few weeks ago. I just got it back this afternoon after a complete rebuild. The cut out relay was bad and the...

    If it's only 3 miles why not just make two trips with the trailer.

    extending Internet access

    I had the same problem, metal barn with no windows about 100 feet from the house. This unit was installed 3 years ago and works great. The company is also great to work with. Note that an outside antenna is not included with this kit. Must be purchased separately from them...

    mor cub help please

    I'm assuming when you say that you're getting"fire at the coil" you're refering to the high voltage lug on the coil itself and that you do have high voltage there. The coil cover has a flat metal spring that must make contact with that lug when it is installed. From there of course it goes by...

    OT- how long can you keep peanut oil after deep frying?

    I use it 3 times then let it settle well before before I filter it and add about a gallon to the fuel tank of my MF 135D whenever I refuel. Been doing this for 10 years with no ill effects. Sure makes the exhaust smell good!

    OT Lawn Mowers

    I"m still using an old 1965 Wheel Horse 1055 on about 3 acres that I inherited from my brother in law who inherited from my wifes grandfather. My bil quit using it sometime in the late 90"s when the voltage regulator quit working. With a new battery, voltage regulator, carb cleaning, points and...

    Farmall H4 Magneto

    Tom, I understood what you were saying. My first thought was also the origional coil breaking down when it got hot. However replacing it made no difference. I do have a new coil cover installed and have had no problems with hot starts. Thanks for your comments.

    Farmall H4 Magneto

    Tom, my thoughts were also that there would be some corrosion on the contact tab but it was clean and seemed to be making good contact with the coil. I shined it up anyway with a piece of fine sandpaper and it made no difference. I did do a little experment last night with wifey's hairdryer...

    Farmall H4 Magneto

    For the last several months my "49 Farmall H would absolutely refuse to restart after being shut down hot. Let it sit a couple of hours and it"d start right back up and run good. Plenty of fuel and wet spark plugs but no spark. All the usual tune up items done including 4 new 3116 Autolite spark...

    Shop Water Heater

    Thanks for the replys so far guys. The heater is very near the circuit breaker panel. Probably no more than 8 feet of wire will be needed to wire it in.

    Best engine oil for pushmower??

    10W-30 would be a distant second choice. I've used nothing but straight 30 DETERGENT oil in all of my small engines for the last 40 years with no oil related problems. The exception is my snowblower. 5W-30 goes in it just because it gets used in cold, sometimes below 0 temps.

    H4 Magneto Coil

    Does anybody know the correct NAPA/Echlin part number for the ignition coil on an H4 mag? Looking at their on-line catalog it shows 2 different part numbers, EHC IC1851 and EHC IC1812. My local store would have to order them so I can"t in advance compare either to my old one. Thanks

    propane hot water heaters

    Pete, We had a 50 gal Rheem PowerVent installed a little over 3 years ago and have been very satisfied with it. Our model has an electronic ignition system on it so no pilot light to go out. Be aware that I think that all of the newer gas water heaters have to have a "sniffer" system on them to...
