    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 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...

    Dearborn FlexDisc Question

    Bought an old flex disc and when discing, noticed the back end kept coming up. Adjusted the top link but didn't fix the problem. That's when I noticed the following and I'm not sure if it is supposed to be this way or did an old weld break. When I hook the tractor up: When I disc with...

    Will my Ford 860 pull this?

    If not, would it if I used it like a field cultivator and not a chisel plow? http://kansascity.craigslist.org/grd/4367127663.html Thanks, John

    front tire problem

    I have a flat front tire, when I air it up it leaks fast around the valve stem. Not inside, but where the thick rubber of the valve stem touches the rim of the tire. Is this something I can fix quickly, or should I just bring it into the shop and have them do it? The only reason I don't...

    Can my Ford 860 pull this?

    It listed as a Massey Ferguson Chisel Plow http://kansascity.craigslist.org/grd/3019647226.html I don't own a disc either, so I'm not sure which would be best after plowing and getting a garden area ready for the spring. This appears to be more of what my Dad would call a field cultivator...

    Garden Prep Question

    So I have a Ford 860 with an old 2 bottom plow. I plowed a few months ago and the ground has been untouched since then. The garden plot is currently 80' by 100' but I don't plan on using all of that, probably just 40' by 80'. Does it do any good to re-plow the land? I don't have disc but...

    Top Link Question

    Pretty new to tractors so bear with me. When connecting my brushhog to my 860, when you connect the top link to the brush hog the brush hog has space for the toplink to float back and forth. Do you adjust the top link so that it is in the middle of the float, do you tighten up towards the...

    Trouble Plowing

    I went out yesterday to plow up a small section of land that we'll be putting a garden at this spring. Basically it is 40' x 100' that has recently been combined and the guy's combine must have been old as he had lots of tall stalks and plenty of loose corn and some full cobs all around. So...

    Pasture drilling question

    I currently own 16.4 acres that has about 11 acres currently in corn that has been cash rented. We will be building a house on the land in a few years and plan to have a few steers, chickens, pigs, apple trees, etc... on it. I'd like to go ahead and get a jump start on planting the tillable...

    Ford 860 oil pressure

    I noticed this weekend that my oil pressure would be running in the 45 range, then drop down to 0 for a few seconds, then go back up to 45 and slowly go back to 20 or so, then 0. If it was at 0 and I gave it more throttle, it would raise the pressure. So this coming weekend, I want to start...

    Trailer Wheel Well

    I bought a small utility trailer and don't like the way the wheel wells are on it. I'm afraid that if I load small stuff on it, they'll slip under and either get into the wheel or fall through and I'll lose it. I don't have a welder or much metal fabrication capabilities. Is there something...
