Thanks for your reply.:)

I checked the gas flow and it was quite brisk. I pulled the dizz and found the dust cover I was sent is incorrect as was the broken rotor I suspect. I'll take the distrib to the local parts house and fit a rotor, use the new cap if it fits and try over. Plus drill the hole!

I will follow your advice and do the fuel flow. I seem to always loosen the gas cap. I tighten it down when I stop. That is a good question on the carb. 30 years ago I wasn't so concerned on where the parts were made. I am now when I can. I still have the old carb. I'm not a farmer. Just...

New screen on the carb, cleaned the screen in the gas valve. New gas line to the carb. Clean gas. I did not remove a plug from bottom of carb. I replaced the carb and head gasket when I purchased the tractor. I was wondering if someone bought a knock off distributor and stuck it in. I could...

Parked and sat for short period. Hot battery and just would not fire. Got gas, hot batt, good ground. I started with wires and new coil. Set the points. New plug wires. Caps from Gingel, New Holland (2 different). No NAPA in vicinity. I've enjoyed this old girl but don't have time in my...

My 8N ran good for 25 years then quit. New starter, coil, went through all wires and connections. Then started buying parts. Caps would not fit. Rotors wont fit. I'm ready for a new distributor. Lots of distributors on line. But quality wise, where to buy. I drive a 73 F100, Never had...

There is a vacant 12v 3 pin female connector under the hood. One 12V when the key is on, one ground and the third? I would like to know what is the ID name for that kind of connector and is it safe to run a small extra running l light to it? I cannot locate any male connector for that plug.

The inlet pipe to the RTV500 air filter canister appears to have a foam filter stuck into the top. I found this while evicting a used bird nest. I can't find this filter listed anywhere and can't get it out with out disassembling the intake pipe and hose. Any ideas on how I should proceed...

Fan belt was starting to squeal and thought I would replace it. There is not enough clearance to remove the old belt from the crank shaft. No loader or any attachments on the front. Appears to be a plate on the end of the crank shaft with four allen screws. Does this plate remove with the four...

I have a 4' "Texas Red" brush cutter that says it was mfg by King Kutter. I noticed the gearbox bolts have become loose. The four nuts and the bolt that holds down the gearbox turn. I tried to tighten the nuts. Under the mower is a "stump jumper" as they call it. Are these bolts designed to be...

What caused the contact areas in an 8N distributor to carbon to one side? Contacts in the cap have carbon on one side and rotor the same. What is the correct gap setting for side mount distributor? Thanks

I noticed today my Kubota does not sit level and leans to the left. I measured the front end from ground and their is a difference of 3/4 inch in the left front low. Is there an adjustment to level this machine that I can do? Just had the 50 hour service done.
