    Can you help me identify this sickle mower?

    Looking at some pictures. I think you are correct! I believe it is the 6 foot model. Anyone have any ideas on the part #'s for the belts?

    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...

    2n wiring trouble

    Just a guess, the original system was positive ground. The new 12v system is negative ground. Run the wire through the back of the ammeter going in the opposite direction and it should show positive volts. On a side note, the ammeters on both my 8N's are full of condensation and always...

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

    Thanks for the replies. I'll clean it up and see if that helps. The tractor runs really well. My '51 8n runs pretty rough and I am used to the bendix popping out when it coughs while starting. This is a new issue on my '52. It was popping out really quickly, like within a second or so.

    ford loader, the rarest thing?

    I just sold a dearborn loader with hydraulic bucket. When I sold mine there were 2 or 3 others on craigslist in the central New England area. I usually see one or 2 a month for sale up here. I think most folks up here use them for snow removal.

    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

    Thanks GB! (Again!!!). I will order that screw set as I don't have any left hand ones. Luckily this is a spare so I can wait for the cheap shipping option. Will let you all know how it goes.

    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...

    No rear fenders - got to be risky?

    Are those some kind of custom hubs, or where they an option on the Jubilee's? If they are aftermarket, who makes them?

    Cab adjustment for high RPMs

    Thanks Gary. 1/16th of a turn... that is part of my problem. I was making half turn adjustments. Looks like more finesse is needed :) Will post back after I fiddle with it tonight.

    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

    Good news! It lives! Thanks for all the guidance! Two issues I had to overcome: #1 - filter at carb elbow was blocked. removed the screen for now. Now the fuel runs (and runs and runs)... right through the carb. Float must be stuck open? At any rate, I cracked the fuel tank valve open a...

    '52 8N Side Mount 6V No Spark

    I meant pointing at the distributor cap tower/point that goes to number 1 cylinder (the cylinder next to the radiator). That is, when the rotor is engaging the spark plug on number one.

    '52 8N Side Mount 6V No Spark

    Dumb question, but is cylinder #1 at compression for both sets of timing marks, or only one of them? That is, could it be 180 degrees out of time even if the rotor is pointing to #1 cylinder and I see it 2 degrees on the flywheel. I did not check if cylinder #1was at compression when I...

    '52 8N Side Mount 6V No Spark

    First thing this morning I turned the fuel wide open and removed the drain plug at the bottom of the carb. I get a dribble. It is a decent dribble but I would not classify it as a flow. It is more like very fast dripping. There is a new screen at the valve under the tank, and the sediment...

    '52 8N Side Mount 6V No Spark

    Haha, yes, but I actually did quite a bit of investigating. The distributor short where the coil wire enters the housing did not come up in the first 10,000 hits on google though, otherwise I would have looked there more closely. As it was the short was hidden, the insulator looked OK around the...

    '52 8N Side Mount 6V No Spark

    The tractor "Stopped running one day, someone futzed around with it trying to get it going again, no dice" was about all the information I had on this tractor. It sat for at least two winters. A neighbor hearing backfires surmised maybe they took the distributor off and put it on out of sync...

    '52 8N Side Mount 6V No Spark

    Bruce, you were correct about the common point of failure. Short in the distributor near the strip that connects the wire on the side. Insulator was disintegrating, I jury rigged a piece of cardboard behind it and ordered a new insulator and bushing. I now have nice spark on all four wires and 6...
