    Filled front tires

    In motocross and enduro racing we use solid foam inserts in the tires to pretty much guarantee no flat tires. The only drawback to them is, if you are driving on hot pavement, the heat buildup will ruin them. They also make these inserts for ATV's and UTV's, so there might be an appropriate size...

    Fuel Line

    Just wanted to show you all the fuel line that was in my 8N when i bought it. Left side was connected directly to the tank (no sediment bowl) and the right side to the carb. The bend at the very right is kinked...looks like it was bent with pliers. Needless to say, i replaced everything with a...

    Another 8N that wont start

    UPDATE: The good...i have a good spark at each plug and the plug tips are clean and dry. The bad...the engine just cranks but won't fire up. I've verified the fuel flow is adequate, but when i took the air inlet tube (?) off, a bunch of gas spilled out so maybe i flooded it. Currently...

    Another 8N that wont start

    With the points open, i have 12.1 volts. With the points closed, i have zero volts. I removed the center wire from the distributor cap and hald it near bare metal while cranking the engine and got a nice blue spark. Distributor cap looks to have no cracks or other obvious issues. Not...

    Another 8N that wont start

    I've got a 51 8N converted to 12v that i start up and run every week (for 17 years now). Today it just would not fire up. It cranks just like normal. I've determined that there is no spark to the plugs. I checked the coil and got 4 ohms. I checked the connections/wires and all looked good. I...

    Snow Tractor

    For small depths of powdery snow like that, i turn the blade backwards and at 45 degrees and it works fairly well for not taking gravel with it

    FNG... intro and 8N

    Sounds like your situation is very similar to mine...i live in a hilly area (VA...where VA, TN and NC come together) and do all the tasks you list except the wood chipper. I've had my 8N for 17 years and had only minor issues. First thing i did was install a ROPS on it, then made sure the...

    Mowing with an 8N

    Just curious if anyone else uses their N's for finish mowing? I picked up a BEFCO 96-inch finish mower about 20 years ago and it has worked great to mow 3.5-acres. The mower is probably on the upper end of what my 8N can handle, but so far, no problems. [/img:81b4443c4d]
