I will second the electric fuel pump, let pump run for a second or two hit the starter and almost an instant start. The mechanical pump I replaced would squirt fuel across shop but must have lost its prime after setting any length of time because you would have to crank for ever to get her to fire. I know a lot of guys have used primer bulbs like you would use on boats but figured it wasnt to much more trouble to install Epump and not much cheaper if you get a good quality primer bulb. pic of where I mounted mine.

Tractor is actually a crappy cheap paint job. Considered & bought a citrus based paint stripper but just havent gotten around to it. Hard to tell whats hiding under paint. Even the engine is painted with same wrong color. The plow is from a 604 & I keep it oiled .

I took two wires out of the 9 pin when I got my 520-H. The power wire and the start wire soldered each together. I also replaced all the safety switches as they were all rusted. My 520 had set in a car port or open sided shed as the right side wheels had some surface rust and none on the left. I bought some new connectors but haven't installed them. The two PTO safety switches were badly rusted they also have isolation plates below them that were coated in rust. After getting all that sorted out the biggest improvement I made was an electric fuel pump.

1054 Hydraulic Cylinder Not Functioning

I'll be out of town next week but will troubleshoot the relief valve when I return. -
Good sleuthing! A depleted battery can completely consume the stator's output without charging and at the same time leave insufficient “juice” (i.e. the 2-4 amps) needed to keep the electric PTO clutch fully engaged.

I'm probably over my depth here but something is allowing fluid to be forcefully expelled from the pump with the cylinder removed and the control in neutral. -

Mine still runs. It is my primary mower & snow removal tractor.

2027 Featured Tractor ?
Sparky-(Admin) replied to sqrlgtr's topic in Wheel Horse Collectors Club Show
So the feature is “non-running Teccy tractors”? -
Bonnie & Clyde is probably my favorite gangster movie. The "shot up" Ford Sedan "death car" was on display somewhere in Florida in the early 80's. I can't remember exactly when or where, (I think it was near Disney World) but I saw it.
-
I heard it was the "6" series with Tecumseh engines EDIT: But I could be wrong. I heard it while standing in the ice cream line watching Kevin.

I think i have everything, lots of notes! Thank you!!!

Wow!!

Do you smell what the @Pullstart is scooping?

Sounds like you have been very busy for almost 20 Years now. Keep them running Bud. -
That makes an excellent firewall - for a short time. One of the issues of older pickups with the thin tall vertical fuel tank was moistute collecting at the bottom and rotting thru - first you smell it, then you wear it.... not good.

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

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.
