    Ford 8n Hard to Start and No Spark

    Here’s the situation. Bought the tractor back in 2020. Started up nice and easy. Was always pretty easy to start until I parked it for a month maybe in late fall 2022. Went to start it up and it was difficult to start. It would pop but hard to keep it going. Eventually it would start and run...

    Ford 8n Oil Pressure

    I got a Ford 8n few months back with a supposedly rebuilt engine within a year before I got it. I didn’t notice it had no oil pressure at the gauge until I had already brought it home. I did the ole “crack the line and see if oil comes out at the gauge” test. Oil came shooting out of the end and...

    Dirt Moving  Cub Cadet 149 Owner

    Pictures of your Garden Tractor Sleeve Hitch Implements/attachments you built

    I got a 1974 Cub Cadet 149 with the sleeve hitch in the back, I want to see what others have made for their garden tractor sleeve hitches or their garden tractors equipped with a hydraulic pump and connection abilities. A description of how you built it would be cool too! Thanks in advance.

    Shielding Gas Bottle Leaks

    I have a shielding gas 75/25 bottle that I have had leak down to 0 PSI two times now by my LWS. I honestly maybe used 100PSI out of it the first time and maybe 50PSI the second time.

    Anyone Make a REAL Garden Tractor Anymore?

    Does any manufacture make a real ground engaging gasoline power garden tractor anymore? I see the old John Deere's all the time that could actually pull a small plow and other small scale implements. I can't seem to find a "real" one anymore.
