    2N Oil Problems

    Are you sure this is oil fouling? Saw an air filter that the internal diameter of the intake shrunk to the size of a nickle coin due to dust buildup. Governor constantly hunted trying to keep it running.. Wrong oil weight in filter cup or too much can cause it to be sucked into engine...

    2N Oil Problems

    Tried cleaning the filter in the oil fill cap? Clogged crankcase breather builds internal pressure causes leaks and blowby possibly. If it feels heavy it needs cleaning.

    Crossed generator wires

    Generator wires were crossed. Traced and disconnected everything was bright and put it together. Ran a few tests and everything seems ok now. Discharged battery by running lights for a time as it read a high charge to begin with. Ammeter wires may have been a bit loose. Might have been...

    Crossed generator wires

    Looking at 51 8N sidemount with original 6 Volt Positive ground system. High ammeter reading at high RPM. May not know full details and tractor not close. The generator wires A and F were switched. Did this kill the regulator? Read the manual page 51 on field grounded in generator but would like...

    Proof Meter

    Looking at what I wrote needs fixing. Was saying that the 1580 is about three quarters of 2200 top RPM and still just guessing.

    Proof Meter

    Making me think and hope someone would answer this and looking in specs in the manual gives a chart for gear choice and reduction and speed for plowing or cultivating and a footnote that 1500 is recommended for power take off tools and 1750 revs when power takeoff tools are not used. I have...

    Proof Meter

    Same here..was looking thru oil recommendation in a 1940..and 1943 and the 1950 manuals and all have differant viscosity and temperature charts.

    Proof Meter

    Took this from the 1950 copyright version of the operators manual for the 52 side mount 8N.

    Proof Meter

    One hour on hourmeter represents one clock hour of tractor operation at 1580 revs per minute. Revs below 1580 will accumulate hourmeter hours slower than clock hours. In excess of 1580 registers faster than clock hours

    Do I need an over-running clutch with a 4ft mower?

    Just my guess but I saw a cracked cam gear that I think resulted from lack of ORC. Hitting something hard slows down everything inside really fast.

    Metric Pipe Threads

    Cold Weather Tip

    I won't sit in a muffler repair shop when I can see a kid cutting and welding next to the tank from fifty feet away. Hope everyone realizes when I said I hesitate to suggest a torch as I don't know if you have a gas leak that this is SATIRE meaning don't do something stupid.

    Cold Weather Tip

    good to see all these tips. duey has the better way to heat it up quick and safe in an emergency situation. Mine normally starts but I read about a lot of flooded plugs and low batteries. Vaporizing the fuel on an updraft carb will keep you from fooling with plugs even warming the air...

    Cold Weather Tip

    This is not for accident prone people. Do not burn your tractor or garage down. If you are praying for the tractor to start because you need it NOW, try warming up the manifold with a spotlight so the gas vaporizes instantly rather than trying to pull cold, heavy gas up into manifold...

    Block oil pan rail scores

    A score across a pan rail from sliding across the floor or truck bed or dirty benchtop can sometimes be fixed with a crosshatch stamp. It looks like the end of a meat tenderizer mallet or a construction hammer that tears the skin off your knuckle and your afraid to look at it. The checkerboard...

    leaky freeze plug

    May be wrong on this applicaation but most freeze plugs are to take sand out of the part in manufacturing. Many can be permanently sealed. They are not true freeze plugs. Is this a JB repair anyone? Brass seals better than most others. Shim stock could be a good idea .. don't really...
