Hello, I have a brand new tractor and an antique tractor that I will in the near future participate in parades or displaying at the local county fair. My tractor club fees include coverage while at the fair or in a parade, but not the in-transit time, either driving on the road or trailering...

soo very sorry for the delay in responding to you all. Mid stream here this spring took an unusual turn for my family, but sort of back on a schedule now. This Ford I have is the LGT 16 diesel. It is 30 years old now. I have been much impressed with this tractor as I plow, mow and rototill...

Hello, I've not heard of reverse tiller direction until I started looking for a sub-compact. At least in the Kubota make, I'm uncertain between the BX2380 and B2301. This is what I've read here and/or heard by Messick's and others: a. a reverse direction takes more HP b. a reverse is better...

Hello All, I pulled out my Duralast battery for replacement. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the date of 10/08. This was in my Ingersoll 448. I've not been so fortunate with my 16HP Ford diesel garden tractor. Seems like the batteries are only going a few years. It started today fine...

Hello All: December 4, 2017 was a great day. I just replace the fuel assembly and line to the carb, rebuilt the carb, and put fresh gas in the tank and primed with heavy lube the oil pump through that plunger port in front of the engine. With barely a pull of the choke and one push of the...

Hello, after the first winter or two of hard starting, I had the dealer install an engine block heater to my Ford 16HP diesel. One of my better decisions. That was about 25 years ago. It went well below freezing the other day so I plugged in the tractor. Was hard the next day but started...

Hello All, I was happy to get spark in all four plugs. Then went to the fuel. No fuel was going from the sediment bowl assembly into the fuel line. I took it out and drained the old gas. I guess it had that dreaded kerosene small I read others having. I took the bowl and filter off and the...

Hi Friends, when we ended some time ago, I primed the pump like advised via that relief valve and had good pressure quite promptly. I replaced a few plug wires and the tractor faithfully started and still does start. But after about 8 months, after starting every month or so and having...

Ford garden 16hp 3cyl diesel. aftermarket filters available? Hi, Tractors is about 25 years old. I use 134 hydraulic or transmission fluid which operates forward, reverse and all lift mechanisms. I have two filters for this system, one called a line filter and the other a suction filter. Each...

Hi, Tractors about 25 years old. I use 134 hydraulic or transmission fluid which operates forward, reverse and all lift mechanisms. I have two filters for this system, one called a line filter and the other a suction filter. Each, from Ford, costs around $33. I wonder if there are cheaper...

Hi, well, I'm very pleased to report back that I got prime back to my oil pump, but then it would not start until I put a little gas in three cylinders. What is not working? I took #2, #3 &#4 plugs out one at a time unserted back into the plug wire and touched the end to the block while...

:laughing: dear Soundguy, was I ever thrilled today. I ran some sae 80 through the relief bolt and started cranking. It did not start, but I knew it as pumping as oil was coming out of the tubes at both ends, at the gauge and at the other end of where that tube ends - I forgot to tighten...

Hello, In getting ready to prime the oil pump through that plug on front of engine (it is 15/16), I changed the oil, new oil filter, and new oil in the air filter container. I cleaned the plugs - oh separate question on them. I heard autolight 437 is what I should use, but auto dealer said...

hello again, its been a few months but now I'm ready to get started. I removed both ends of the tube going up to the oil pressure gauge and no oil. I was getting pressure two years ago, and then it sat for a year and now just getting around to dealing with it. The suggestion that came back...

hello everyone, is there more than one "official" hood for a 1949 8N? My hood does not have the air filter little door on the right side (from the seat view). Should it? on another in the family, I think a '50 or '51 has the door but no little canister fixed outside. Should it? Or was...

Hi, we replaced plugs, points, distributor cap and coil . don't get a spark at the coil.. Cranking is strong. What is my next troubleshooting step? thanks

hello, guage was working when bought the tractror a few years ago. did not get much use, but started it periodically. last year did not start, ended up getting it started with a new ignition switch, but got no oil pressure and in short order, cranking stopped. I disconnected both ends of the...

hello, I have a '49 Ford 8N I purchased a few years ago with the intent to do some restoration and drive it in a few parades with our local Farm Bureau tractor club. I just joined so I could begin asking questions. I'm afraid the interchange may only be one way for awhile as I don't really...
