    3pt or tow behind plow

    I did find a Ford 101 plow on Craigs. It's a three bottom which would be nice if I end up with a bigger tractor later. What do you think on price ?? https://eauclaire.craigslist.org/grd/6043000319.html

    3pt or tow behind plow

    Or maybe this one. I would have posted them together but I couldn't find it at first as it's in a different area about four hours away. https://mankato.craigslist.org/grd/6057504429.html

    Resister

    Or you could just get a 12 volt coil that has an internal resistor and remove the external resistor and eliminate the connections at the two terminals where you can have problems. The separate resistor is is cheaper but the coil is cleaner.

    3pt or tow behind plow

    Thanks Tim. I'm going to have to go through that a couple times to take it all in. Mine did come with the Parts List and FO-4 Shop Manual. I purchased an Operators Manual so I still need to track down a Service Training Manual and what is the one in the upper left corner ?? Dean, I understood...

    3pt or tow behind plow

    I have to say that the idea of a three point with the drift controls make a whole lot more sense and justify the expense of the three point over the tow behind. Being a tractor virgin I just wanted to ask to make sure I wasn't missing out on something. Thank you for your expertise and...

    3pt or tow behind plow

    Thank you all for the input. Makes sense the best way to go is three point and that against the law to tow a plow sure doesn't make sense. Sounds more like some bizarre urban legend. I figured the 8N would work best with the 3pt and that sure seems to be the consises. Not looking to reinvent...

    3pt or tow behind plow

    I have no clue. I have an 8N and I'm looking to break sod to make a food plot. Is it best to get a 3pt 2 or 3 bottom plow or save some money and get a tow behind plow and figure out a way to hook it up. The tow behind plows are one, two or three hundred less than the 3pt so .... I'm clueless...

    8N thermostat

    I ordered the one from YT in the link above and I have the same issue. That being it has a lip near the top that makes it hard to fit into the hose plus it's pretty sharp. Was wondering about filing it down some before trying to install it. I'm a little worried over time it will cut into the...

    Electric Power steering

    Looks like you should be able to get a used pump and the wiring harness off Ebay for 100-$200 dollars. A PS motor from a Saturn Vue 02-07 from a salvage yard, ... or Ebay and the harness with the control for about $60 on Ebay.

    Cylinder head

    Found out it's the tap in the cheap Menards set I bought. I'll be returning that. Went to Oreillys and got the thread restoration loaner kit and the 7/16-14 in their set did a slick job of cleaning up those threads. Glad I didn't try to force my tap in there as I'd likely have to helicoil...

    Cylinder head

    I agree (about hijacking) but I'm still hoping to have some input on what my chasing the holes in the block might be. Tomorrow I'm going to try and get a hold of the thread kit from Oreilly and see if that makes any difference in cleaning out those threads. Having problems chasing the threads...

    Disappointed with 12v conversion kit, any suggestions ??

    I guess it's not a big deal as you're likely not to need to adjust it very often but all the alternators I've seen on cars have the alternators bolt in the adjuster slot. Reason being you only need one hand/one wrench to loosen and tighten it since the alternator has threads and isn't going...

    '49 8N generator?

    What is the part number of the one you ordered and what about it was incorrect for your setup ?? From the photos the one above looks to match the one in the first posting. Before we get too crazy are you sure you can trust the diagnosis that the alternator is bad ?? Did you do any testing...

    Loose radiator cap on 8n

    You can call and see if an auto parts store (NAPA, Oreilly, ...) in your area loans out a pressure tester. That way you'd know for sure if the caps holding pressure. I haven't used one on a tractor but I'm hoping they just used the design from a car so the size isn't something odd. This is...

    Disappointed with 12v conversion kit, any suggestions ??

    Well, still recovering from the cataract surgery but I'm out of the eye drops so I'm back to the tractor. Finally managed to upload photos. Was using Mozilla/Firefox and they won't load but in Microsoft Edge I'm good. No clue why ?? This is one example of the different size holes in my...
