    Ignition? Or? 641

    My orig 641, 6volt still has the orig key and switch but it won't do anything (not even crank) with the key off. Which brings me to a question, on tractors that the key/switch doesn't do anything, how do you turn the tractor off? (I'm just curious) I know my JD 3010 has a pull knob to turn the...

    Ignition? Or? 641

    Old, I never said anything negative in any way, shape or form.

    Ignition? Or? 641

    Well Ed, I wasn't discounting Old's post, however, considering my 601 (641) HAS to have the key "ON" to engage the starting/ignition system and I'm taking this from my experience and not from Texas!' Post. So, in THIS case Old's post served to confuse me rather than solve the issue/answer my...

    Ignition? Or? 641

    Thanks Texas!, I was putting off installing the switch till later this week as I'm currently using the tractor (everyday in the pasture) but I think I'll install it first thing tomm morning, before i use it, now.

    Ignition? Or? 641

    Hey guys, I've got an intermittent..."thing"(?) going on with my 641 that I've been unable to pinpoint. The majority of the time my 641 runs great-hot or cold, but occasionally it develops a rough running situation (backfires, wants to stall etc) for only a couple seconds and then returns to...

    Parts prices

    Yeah it's starting to get a little nutty on used parts, some guys out there think an old dented up and rusty fender should be worth more than a new (undented/unrusty) reproduction fender, for example.

    641 fuel issue?

    Wow! Pulled the 216's and they were black, threw in some new 437's [email protected] and turned the main IN about a 1/4 turn (sitting at 1 3/4 turns out now) because I figured it was to rich and I could smell gas on start up. It runs 100% better now, I can increase and decrease rpm's without it...

    641 fuel issue?

    I am using 216's, are those the wrong plug? Wires are copper core. I increased the main out about a 1/2 turn and I can increase the rpm's even more now but it still runs like garbage. Ill pull the plugs and look at em and also pull the plug wires 1@a time to see if any make a difference. I...

    641 fuel issue?

    At the time, I really didn't think much about it because the new rotor had a really solid and firm fit, it really wasn't loose at all BUT if there's nothing pushing the rotor up to the correct position or its sitting to low-if that's possible (which i suspect) then that would explain a lot.

    641 fuel issue?

    Thanks Ray, that's what I needed to know, looks like ill be tracking down a spring clip or whatever Ford called them. I wondered why the manual showed one but this 641 doesn't have anything above the dust cover.

    641 fuel issue?

    Okay, so it seems like I solve 1 problem and another pops up...anyway, so my 641 starts on the first button push whether its hot or cold and I rarely have to touch the choke, and I can putt around all day and night below 1000rpm's. I've cleaned the screen and jar on the sediment bowl, ive also...

    600 Ford Fuel tank valve:(Ideas for a BETTER replacement???

    Hey Doug, I'm sorry to hear that's the response you got, I think it's a great idea and I commend you and Bill for taking the time/effort to experiment. I can tell you that with a loader on my 641 it's darn near impossible to get to my current/orig valve now. By chance, does your write up...

    600 Ford Fuel tank valve:(Ideas for a BETTER replacement???

    Well, Bill it may have been a long post BUT its a great post! You just gave me my next project and I'm planning on following your instructions exactly. One question though, couldn't you put some braiding on the new line to protect it from contact burns, heat and hard corners etc? I was playing...

    600 Ford Fuel tank valve:(Ideas for a BETTER replacement???

    It's not the mounting that's the biggest problem, the majority of fuel petcocks mount with 2 bolts, the main issue would be flow rates (IMO)

    600 Ford Fuel tank valve:(Ideas for a BETTER replacement???

    I've been playing with the idea of using a Harley style fuel petcock, the plus is that it has a filter in it, but im uncertain if it will flow enough gph (?) but to be honest ALL petcocks have the potential to leak, I've had them all leak over time on Harley's, sportbikes, dirt bikes etc etc so...

    Rear axle capacity with tires extended (641)

    Well under *normal use, I'm not concerned, however, some of the farmers out here (when they bale their brome) will sometimes make really large round bales to finish up a pasture and couple that with several rainy days (or several days of snow) and those bales tend to get REALLY heavy, to a point...
