    Oh what a weekend!!

    It was youth hunting season this weekend in Texas and my nephew shot his first buck (a four pointer), I shot my first ever bow kill (a doe) and the 8N ran like a champion both days as we passed the time between hunts box blading a bad patch of road. While the kid was excited about the deer. He...

    Thanks for the help!

    Thanks to everyone who sent me sincere and helpful suggestions regarding my dilema last week. For those not tuned in, I rewired my 1948 front mount 8n and made the unwise decions of unbolting the wire tube....not realizing those bolts are head bolts! The result was a anti-freeze gusher and...

    I really need some 8N help!

    Man I think I screwed up.... I have been rewiring my 8N in the evenings this week. It has been running funky and I decided to get rid of the rat"s nest that came with the tractor. Monday - compression check - all four excellent! Tuesday - I unbolted the wire loom to repalce it. A gusher of...

    Battery Cables

    Another question that may be easier answered by the experts. On my 12v front mount, what guage battery cables are best and where is the best place to ground the negative cable.....to the side bolt that holds the battery tray on? Also, how long should these cables be. My old ones where 15...

    Texas Gushers!

    I pulled the two bolts that hold the heat shield/wire loom to my block last night and much to my suprise coolant came gushing out of the holes. Is this supposed to happen? I drained the radiator a bit and the gushers stopped. On a side note, one of the bolts was too short and was never...

    HELP! = Frustration Sets in...........

    My 48 8n (front mount) is sounding sick under full throttle and the normal power is not reached. There is NO backfiring, just some of that sick gurgle coming out the exhaust (at full throttle). She idles fine and is blowing no smoke anywhere. Here is all what I have done in the past few...

    Rebuild/Compression Check

    When one is rebuilding an 8n engine (in this case a 6v front mount) - at what point can a comppression check be done to ensure that there is no more blow-by. My project tractor is calling my name and it has low compression in #1 and blow-by (when it last ran). I want to fix that problem -...

    Problem Solved!

    I asked about mis-fires last week - it was suggested that I check the order of my spark plug wires - having done I did not think that was the problem. However, the FIRST thing I did this weekend was check those wires CAREFULLY - before the sweat and frustration built. Started right up and ran...

    Spark Plug Sealant

    Does any any use any type of sealant or thread treatment on their spark plugs? I am convinced my rough running is spark plug related and I intend to replace them this weekend - I figure since I am swapping plugs I might as well do it as right as possible. Also, I am correct with a gap of .025...

    Help! What's wrong with the 8N

    What a frustrating day. Last weekend I hosed off the 8N (to prepare for leaking governor work)and it ran as if maybe the points were wet or something afterword. When I started it today, it still ran sluggish. I repaired the oil leak in the governor and thought all it would take was a little...

    Leak discovered!

    A few weeks ago I posted a message looking for suggestions on where all my oil was going (1948 8n). This weekend I discovered the leak....from the govenor. It seems to be leaking right around the screws that hold the gov cap on. There appears to be a gasket where the gov cap and the gov come...

    Where is my oil going?

    I check the oil every time I use my 48 8n.....and it always appears to be low. I use it once a week or so. There is NOT a leaky mess underneath where I park the tractor. Anyone have any guesses where and how I am burning(?) the oil. Everything else with the tractor is running very good.
