hello. i have a 8n that has a noise in the front
of the engine and i'm not sure what it is. i don't
really know much history on the tractor but it
does not run. i can get to run a little bit by
spraying carb cleaner in the carb while cranking
it. i drained the fuel tank and found water and
and alot of trash and rust. when i pulled the carb
down it had a lot of like a rusty red type of clay
or putty texture that had settled in the bowl. i'm
trying to flush the tank and clean carb but not
having much luck. the throddle arm is so worn it
will move side to side but the part that worries
me the most is the noise that is in the front of
the engine. it's a nasty type squealing sound that
sounds like it maybe coming from the front of the
engine. but ust don't sound like a rod or main
bearing type squeal. it sounds like it could be
coming from the governer area or maybe the
distributor... anyone have any ideals on what the
noise may be?..thanks for your time and any help i
can get.
