Just a gasket? Any thougfhts are appreciated. Remember……. I wasn’t getting oil pressure and there is antifreeze in my oil. Thanks y’all ..read more

My 1954 NAA usually has between 40 and 60 psi on startup. Lately when it started, gauge only went to 20 then started back down. Could be oil pump needs replaced? Might it be anything else?

Hi I just recently picked up a 1950 8N. Trying to get her cranked up. I cleaned out the fuel system. No leak in the bowl and fuel is flowing from the carb drain plug. It’s cranking freely and sounds good. I pulled a plug and not seeing spark on the manifold.… the tractor was painted before the previous owner passed away. I am trying to get a spark through the paint on the manifold but I should see a spark in the plug regardless right?? Any quick check items you guys might suggest? This one...

Sorry I know I’m going to catch hell ha but….. I’m new to the tractor thing. My 8N is turning over but won’t start. Plugs, wires, etc are new. Is there a way to prime the fuel or a trick that you guys may know of that would maybe save me some troubleshooting? Thank you
Also is it common to pull the fuel tank and clean and seal it? My glass bowl under the tank had some rust/grime in the bottom but from what I’ve seen on videos EVERYONE’S does. No? I stuck a magnet in the fuel and there was...

1977 Ford 2600 Gas will run fine for about 30-60mins, then gets really rough and eventually dies and won’t start until cooled down. My battery is dead (yes need to replace, but just been jumping). Could the dead battery be causing this?
Also, I noticed when it dies it smokes underneath the left side (left when in seat) and looks like a filter was splattered with either fuel or oil not sure. See picture.
Also, I rebuilt the carb a few years ago and I don’t...

Hi Folks Got my tractor this year and found it sputtered trying to climb a hill. I put a new carb on it and it is doing the same thing. Now I find it has lots of power going downhill and or going uphill backwards. It sure seems to be the floats in the carb. I have a 6v fuel pump I was thinking of trying , but thought it best to ask advice first. Thank you in advance. JP ..read more

I am restoring my 1962 super Dexta. can someone please help me with the factory color on wheels and fenders. Everything I am reading tells me they are supposed to be Fordson super gray. All the pictures I am seeing on line show then to be white. I am trying to keep everything factory colors. Also none of the paint stores have anything paint code wise on this tractor. I was able to have the paint matched from the under side of hood. But the paint on the wheels was to far gone to match...
