    Can you help me identify this sickle mower?

    Hi, Can you help me identify this sickle mower? I believe it is a Dearborn. Specifically, I need to know the size of the belts (it has no pitman) and where I might be able to buy the belts. I have a bunch more photos here: https://www.dropbox.com/sc/s8jop3ufyavddk5/S9_P6OIWbY...

    Starter only engages for a second, need a new bendix?

    '52 8n side mount. Original 6 volt system. Lately, when I go to start it, the starter turns the motor over once, then the starter "spins" and does not engage the flywheel anymore. Luckily the motor starts easily so I just have to bump the starter button a couple times and it will finally...

    Economizer Jet Crushed in Carb Hole

    Before everyone jumps on me about this, it wasn't me who did it. Honest! I have 2 8N's and three carbs (one came with an extra) so this is not a major problem. I rebuilt the carb on my new 8N and all is well. I had so much fun rebuilding the carb that I decided to rebuild the spare. The...

    Cab adjustment for high RPMs

    Hi All, so I got the spark issues resolved on my '52 8N sidemount only to find carb issues. Float was bad (it was a sinker), so got a rebuild kit and a new float went through the carb rebuild page on this site and did as instructed and cleaned out all the passages (many were plugged up bad), and...

    '52 8N Side Mount 6V No Spark

    I'm on day 3 of trying to get spark going on my '52 8N with a side mount distrubutor. It is all stock 6V components. I've searched and read up on everything but nothing seems to work. Was hoping someone might have some ideas here. I just got this 8N. I also have a 51 8N with a side mount, but...

    Odd wiring on 12C converted side-mount 8n

    I have a late 51 8n with a side mount distributor. The previous owner converted it to 12 volt. The electrical system has been running fine, but I wanted to wire in some headlights (didn't have any on it when I bought it), and the wiring job for the 12 volt conversion got the job done, but...

    8n Proof Meter - cable slipping?

    Hi all, I picked up a new proofmeter and a new (metal) cable for my 51 8n (sidemount dist). The old one was rusted out and the cable non functional. I hooked everything up and it seemed to work fine. Max RPMs were 1800 with the throttle all the way with no load. (Good/Normal?)...

    '51 8N Lift Problem

    Hi all, New member here and proud new owner of a late '51 8n. It has the 8-N-C block. I got an issue with my lift. It don't want to go up all the way. It goes up about 2/3rds of the way then stops. It lifts weight fine, as I have a dirt scoop and filled it up. It lifts the same with...
