Just another example of Farmerizing

[Dan in CO]

Last week I posted a message regarding a “Farmerized clutch rod. I got a lot of responses that talked about how the farmers would have to do quite a bit of improvising in order to get their tractors running and “git er done”. I thought I would keep up the theme.

The throttle control lever on my 2N was worn flat and the throttle quadrant was worn out as well, causing the throttle to slip back to idle. This picture shows how I cut a short piece of poly tubing lengthwise, slipped it over the rod and cable tied it in place. The lever has stopped slipping, but the tubing will likely need replacing frequently. Just another example of “Farmerizing” or maybe better said, “Agricultural Engineering”.

I had the same problem with one of my tractors--there is a friction disc set up under the batt box with some pressure fingers holding it down with a castellated nut-- also a spring is attached to the throttle control lever coming out of the friction assembly and hooked up to a spot back toward the dash--no doubt you are aware of this but it takes a bit of doing to replace the friction material with gasket stock-- worth the effort tho as it puts her back to original function even if the quadrant notches are worn-- looks like your fix works fine but thought you might like to try this one sometime

I like your new term - A+

There is no set up like that on yours Dan. He must have an 8N.
2N's only have a throttle rod system, as far as I have ever seen.

It's not on an N tractor as far as I know anything about, Gary, Dan...

Dunk;
I just got to thinkin' about that, so I went to the book and checked.
You're right, NO such animule, on ANY "N" tractor!!!!!
:? :?
Gary :lol: [/b:b9da425acf]

There are no friction disks on a 9n or 8n , maybe the naa ? I dont have one of them ,,,,yet .

You can also do some welding and make the lever round again the cut new groves in the quadrant with a die grinder..

 

[Dan in CO]

Yea, but that would be the right way & the beast wouldn't understand. Wait till I get "Beauty", I'll do it that way then if needed.

the tractor in this pic is a t series ferguson, see the serial tag above the steering shaft? dead give away, just like the to 30 i own if i ever get time to see just what i bought

 

[Dan in CO]

Nope, Not a Fergie. It is a 2N ser. # 9N280423 Born on date 2/23/47 Plate above the streeing wheel is a patent plate.

Here is another good one Joe T posted it awhile back...He drilled a small hole and JB welded a ball bearing in the hole... Seems like it would work good if you had any groves left at all in the quadrant...

NAA, Hundred series and others use the friction disc as described. Both my NAAs have it.

 

[old 9]

The throttle friction disk is the same as the friction disk on lift quadrent lever. In Dennis Carpenter catalog part number is 9N-518 .. all of one dollar each in 2005 catalog.

Merry Christmas Joe

Dan in Co, Im wondering why you farmerized it to that extent. I had the same problem on my 1943 2N and took a 4 in grinder with a thin cutting blade on it and groved the notches on the plate out a bit then I bent the trotle rod down about 1/4 inch and its working perfectly and looks really natural, meaning nothing hanging on it making it look farmerized.
