    Diagram for 8n choke/governor rods?

    Is there a good diagram for setting up the governor/choke rods? The Ford diagram is useless.

    Reasonable price for a Ford 501 Sickle Mower?

    I'm thinking of selling my Ford 501 sickle mower and would be interested in knowing what I should ask for it. It runs good, but it is not pretty, having spent most of its time outside and having received a Ford Blue brush job somewhere along the line.

    Need recommendation for farm wagon

    I've got pretty much the same thing, an angle iron 1st generation U-Haul 4x8, rusted but solid, paid $40 for it. Lots of them hiding in the weeds for $50-100 if you look. After getting used to it, I'd never want anything larger. especially because it spends most of its time hooked up to the...

    Battery Float Tender: Any Recommendations?

    Weird. When I tried to order one and asked which one I would be getting they said they didn't have any 12117TC's, only the old 12117. If they are really sending out the new version for the old price, that's a nice deal.

    Battery Float Tender: Any Recommendations?

    The website description for the 12117 BatteryMinder + says the following: (Note: BatteryMINDer Plus will cause battery drain if connected to the baty without connection to AC power) This model does not feature Temperature Compensation, and thus performance differs from other BatteryMINDers...

    501 ford mower, i need some info, hope this will have pics

    I've had a 501 for 35 years and am very happy with it. It's a little overly complicated, but is very reliable and rugged, and is actually pretty easy to take on and off once you get the knack, One thing you should know is that it was sold in two packages, the mower and the mounting kit. So...

    Voltage Regulator

    One of the best reasons for converting to an alternator is, to my mind, to get rid of the voltage regulator. No one seems to be making reliable mechanical VRs any more ,and if they are, TSC sure doesn't know about them. Alternators don't have this problem, because their VRs are solid state...

    Battery Float Tender: Any Recommendations?

    Bargain hunters beware, Northern was supposedly at one point selling an older discontinued version that didn't have any diodes to protect against discharge if the charger was disconnected accidentally, which could easily kill the battery if you didn't notice in time. A buddy of mine who had...

    Gasket Making 101

    Olfa and others make similar circle and rotary cutters, only plastic, which can be found in art and crafts stores. Not nearly as pretty as yours though!

    Hub or axle

    I have made stepped washers to go between the hub and the axle, with a hollow around the axle, to allow tightening of worn hubs. One has been on my 8n for at least 10 years now, and still tight.

    Front Mount 1948 8N condersers

    There have been terrible problems in the old car community with bad condensers, for, some reason, British cars and motorcycles especiall., I know owners who will not set off on a day trip without 3 or 4 spares in the tool box, So any time you get an ignition problem it should be the second...

    Making plans for my 2N

    Once the manifold starts leaking it begins to seriously erode the mating surfaces on the block, usually the ones at the end of the block. Once this happens, replacing or resurfacing the exhaust manifold is unlikely to fix the problem, and you can't fix it by resurfacing the mating surface on the...

    Folding $975 ROPS from Greenes?

    The misconception that ROPs must always be used with seat belts is is very common but if you look at the results of several tractor injury studies you will find it is not so. A ROPs with a seat belt is claimed to be 99% effective at preventing injury and a ROPs used alone only 70%. Not perfect...

    Folding $975 ROPS from Greenes?

    Anyone gotten a good look at the folding Ford ROPs Greene's Tractors are listing on ebay? I've come pretty close to buying a ROPs serveral times, but not folding seems like it would be a real pain. There hasn't been a folding Rops for the Fords for a number of years, and when they were...

    Agco engine oil filter for Ford 8n?

    "Can use, probably" might be safer. The Agco/MF (it's marked Agco on the packaging but Massey Ferguson on the filter itself) is definately not the same thing. The MF is the same length but not as wide and has rubber seas on both ends while the earlier version has just one And no pull loop on the...

    Agco engine oil filter for Ford 8n?

    Anyone know if an Agco 835817V91 engine oil filter fits n-series Fords? I stopped at the MF dealer, the only nearby tractor to see if they had a filter for my 8n, and counterman sold me the Agco swearing it would fit either a n-series or an early MF. But after looking at it more carefully have...

    Front tire size preference

    I use used 16"x6" Harley rear motorcycle. Most Harley shops will be happy to give you a couple. Or a couple dozen! They seem to steer just fine too.

    Spark Plug blow by - Is my 2N head dead?

    If it isn't too far gone, It might be worth trying a real, solid, copper plug washer, and anneallng it by heating it up red hot and dropping it into water. to soften it so it will make a better seal. This is standard practice in the light aviation world and perfectly safe. Don't be shy about...
