Need a little help here

Book says Champion H10. Don't like Chmpion plugs. What do you reccommend? What is plug gap? Is Wix 5101 right oil filter? Where can I find that list of dos & don'ts for the 8N? How can I get ahold of Royse about a carburetor?

 

[Kid Shileen]

Try autolite 437. Hotter than the champion so it should start easier. Gap is .025.

Royse will be along soon.

Re plugs, see tip # 7.

I agree with the Kid!

The Wix oil filter is a 51010, but order one from this site (if you can wait a few days), they are half the price of the Wix.

The original Ford 14mm spark plug gap is .025" - .028". The original Ford Tractor spec was Champion H-10 14mm spark plug because that's what was around and what they designed the engine on. Since then Champion came out with a hotter plug, the H12, sold today sometimes as both H12 and 512 part numbers. The AUTO-LITE 437 Plug is also available, and an equally as hot plug. I've used both the H12 and the 437 plugs for years interchangeable, and never had problems with either one as they both performed equally as well. It depends on what my auto parts store has in stock when I go buy. Some don't like Champion and say its because they are made in Cheena. Well, guess what? I am looking at a package of each right now and they both say "Made In Mexico". See, some folks get a mindset, a prejudice, and make statements without any data to back it up with, and/or repeat what someone else said, again with no proof on their own. Typical is, "...I did a tune-up and put Champion H10 plugs in and my tractor ran like crap...". Didn't think that one through did ya? You just replaced a bunch of electrical parts and you're blaming the new spark plugs. HHHMMM. I'm not condoning Cheena understand; I hate everything about them. ALL N's, '39-'52, use oil filter p/n 9N-6731 or equivalent. I use the FRAM C3P unit mostly. It depends where I'm at when I need one. If in an auto parts store, I'll get one. If I'm in a CNH dealer, I'll get one of theirs. If I'm ordering from Carpenter, nnalert, or STEINERS online, I'll get from them. Can we assume you are talking about an N and not a John Deere? It's always good to put that info in your subject line or at least in your post. How long have you had your N tractor for? As an N owner, if you don't have the essential owners manuals, well, what's the reason? Original Operator's Manuals have Safety Tips. You should know what your N is capable of doing and not doing before turning the key switch. Here are the essential manuals, three in particular are required reading: I&T F-04 Manual covers all Ns, '39-'53 MPC (Master Parts Catalog) covers all N's, and original Operators Manual and/or Service Manual, specific for your model. If Royse can?t help you out, I have a M/S TSX-33 and TSX-241 carb rebuilt and ready to go ?my email is open.

Napa's 1010 Gold oil filter will work on your 8N.

The carbs on these things are pretty simple. If you have mechanical skills you should be able to rebuild it yourself. Several key factors are involved. The first is CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN! Every passage, every crevice, as clean as you can get it. And 2: A good rebuild kit. Cheap kits normally give poor long term results!

roblem is, mine isn't the cast iron original, rather a Zenith. I've cleaned thoroughly & installed a kit that looks like the right one, & everything fits, but I still couldn't keep the gas from dribbling out the bottom. no #'s on this carb.
