Grandkids has to be the best chapter in our life book. Enjoy every moment Don.

No 9n,2N,or 8N tractor ever came with any sort of fuel pump. Gravity feed is always enough if everything is clean. You fuel system starts at the gas tank. Is it clean or has it accumulated loose rust or dirt? On top of your glass bowl/shut off valve there is a standpipe with a fine screen covering it maybe an inch tall. I have had that plug up on various tractors. If I am feeling lazy or in a hurry, I might close off the fuel and remove the glass cup, gasket and screen. Remove the gas cap. Then aim my compressed air nozzle up the hole leading into the tank, blowing air as I open the valve. This reverse flushes the screen on the standpipe. It is a temporary fix cuz the debris is still floating around. Turn the valve off, clean the screen and glass bowl and reassemble. Remove the fuel line and blow it out. Remove the elbow fitting on the carburetor. It has a screen reaching into the carburetor. Blow it out. If there is no screen, replace the elbow. The carb is pretty simple, but unless you really want to rebuild it, you can probably get by just by blowing through the passages and cleaning the float bowl. Keep in mind that the float and needle and seat were designed to work with the low pressure of gravity feed. You may cause new issues with any pump. The real solution for the gas tank is take it out and clean it. I've just sloshed gas around in some then poured in a bucket along with the loose rust or dirt. I cleaned one with Simple Green. Lately I have read about using white vinegar to remove the rust. I will probably try that next time I have a problem. I hope this helps, Kent

1054 Hydraulic Cylinder Not Functioning

This is physically impossible. The handle is bolted directly to the valve, if one moves so does the other. -

If the spool valve is in the neutral position there should be no fluid flow from either hose. Now, since the fluid has already escaped, and the hoses are disconnected, you can GENTLY use compressed air into the ports to check the function of the lift ram. The other potential possibility here is that the pump is worn. It is very possible that the pump is able to produce flow, but not enough pressure to operate the lift. Remove plug #4 and inspect spring #3 and check ball #2. Those should be the components that provide the restriction that allows the pump to build pressure. I have taken apart a few of these and seen at least one of them with those items stuck. -
Even if I got it out, fitting a new bearing over the gear shaft would likely be problematic. It's already on a stand, degreased, and fluid drained. Might as will go ahead and take it apart and clean the filter and check the other bearings. Once I'm done, I'll swap it out with either my C-120 or 16 Auto - as both of them drip from the transaxle gasket. I've had both of them apart for repairs but did both of them on the tractor and didn't get the surfaces clean enough when reassembling. I have all the time in the world to do this one proper. Besides, you never know what you'll find when you take them apart!

The gas tank in my '72 Chevy C10 is right behind the seat. There is a piece of fiberboard between the seat and gas tank.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!! Being a grandparent has got to be the best thing ever! I bought a 2 family house with my daughter and her husband so seeing the grand kids everyday from the time they were born and being a huge part of their life is a wonderful thing. No responsibilities as far as parenting goes, they act up, send'em home. My wife got to babysit everyday which she loved doing. If my daughter gave me any lip, I just threaten her "I'll just buy them dart guns and drum sets. Maybe even a clarinet to really punish you!" LOL Well, what seems like such a VERY short time they're all grown up.( I still see them as little kids sometimes ). My Granddaughter is now working on her masters degree (24) and the Grandson is going to start his 3rd of college soon (20). My threats have come back to haunt me as now I'm getting older. So if I give my daughter any lip, she threatens me that she just won't wipe my a$$ ! LOL Touche' to her as she has learned well. Enjoy the time with them kids Don, it goes by too quickly

$4.85 in centraL PA on Sunday. Speaking of: Does anyone happen to know if there’s limits on how many gallons your average Joe Sixpack can haul in legal containers? I assume that would be a federal not state limit?

Thanks for exhuming that old topic. Posted long before I ever stumbled across this place, it’s really marvelous reading. With bonus pics, too! Great stuff.

transaxle 1532 bearing
gwest_ca-(File Mod) replied to Bar Nuthin's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
Can you weld a 3/8" nut to it and pull with a slide hammer? You would need to ground good on the case to prevent the current travelling through the bearings which would damage them. -
Today I became a grandpa for the second time! My granddaughter is four and my grandson was born at 2:03 today. 10lbs 6oz ! Praise god everyone is doing great ❤️ We are going to meet him in the morning ❤️

Yeah, I went ahead and power washed it in anticipation of taking it apart. Drained the oil and it looks clean.

to Red Square. Nice looking tractors.

37" mower deck that was on my 416H. P/N 23785. Tried it briefly & it functioned. I'll include mule drive. Not sure what other models it will fit. Has been patched/repaired.

We have always heard the phrase attributed to Henry Ford that “you can buy a Model T in any color as long as its BLACK” well not at the beginning. In the first years of production from 1908 to 1913, the Model T was not available in black, but rather only in gray, green, blue, and red. Green was available for the touring cars, town cars, coupes, and Landaulets. Gray was available for the town cars only and red only for the touring cars. By 1912, all cars were being painted midnight blue with black fenders. In 1914 the "any color so long as it is black" policy was implemented. Also, Henry Ford was an early environmentalist (or tightwad). To save space and lower shipping costs—especially for international destinations like Australia and New Zealand—Ford shipped Model T cars disassembled inside large wooden packing cases. According to historical lore, Henry Ford instructed his component suppliers to build these shipping crates using exact dimensions, specific wood types, and pre-spaced measurements so the boards could double as Model T floorboards once unpacked.

@Wild Bill in VA, can you answer this for us.

At least VW provided a fire wall. Model T (1908–1925), the fuel tank sat directly under the front seat inside the passenger compartment, meaning no firewall separated it from the occupants. For the final 1926–1927 model years, Ford moved the tank into the cowl dash directly ahead of the driver, but it remained unseparated by firewall.

That's OK - Proms during the week, but put the working clothes on for the weekend....

@Bar Nuthin I will not be attending this year with tractors, I might go to see everyone else’s though!

416-8 with the Ark front end loader. A pretty good first WH Then I picked up a RJ58 and went out of control for a while buying round hoods. Have since sold all of the attachments and most of the tractors. Still have 2 RJs, a 400, a 401, a 654, an 855, a 520-HC with 2 stage blower, 418-C and only 2 customs
