How do you know the carb needs a rebuild to run perfect? Could be bad timing, misadjusted points, fouled plugs, poor float setting, bad carb adjustment, burned etc, etc. For 2 g"s with a loader and a bush hog, it could be a good deal. [Reply]   [No Email]

Coat the interiorof the fuel tank an the fuel system is set for the next 20 years. The loader is off it now so it steers hard with no loader. I'm just not familuar with the massey steering. been around tractors for 50 yeaqrs. Love them -started plowing with a CC Case on steel in Massachsetts. ANy back to the steering how are they normally - I didn't see any play to worry about - maybe kingpins seizing - steering box adjustment -Havent looked to close - not a good idea when purchasing - just need to find the problems then the idiosyncrocies of them Thanks Mr Bill [Reply]  [No Email]

They don"t have lite steering forces statically but once you are moving they steer real easy. [Reply]  [No Email]

I remember driving a 9N when i was in my early teens -I thought I would remmeber if it was hard steering. The unit really is nice - straight clean ,the loader isn't on it ,and I wonder if it has ever been on it. Due to my poor typing I said I "used a wire drill on the carb I ment to say when I do Marvel carbs I use wire drills. The gross jet I mentioned was invented by a guy in MA. I consists of 2 small balls on top of each other in a screw in sleeve w/seat that replaces the needle & seat. The balls turn when the float moves them mking them self cleaning. I have one on my Case 300 its been in service since 1994. The solinoid fuel shut offs are just a back up. This is basically my plan here if I can sfford the Massey. It will be permantly hitched to the bush hog as it is difficult for me to unhook and hook 3pt attachments.I am on a fixed income so $$ are short sometimes. As usual when it comes to old tractors and such the people here are great,I spent 5 years hauling antique tractors and farm equipment ,covereng the Eastern 1/2 of the U.S. so many great people out there -many good memories. - thanks.
