Hello all.
I am new to this forum, and to owning a ford 8n. I have been through several issues, the latest of which is gear ring that is dislocated from the fly wheel.
Let me start first by saying I am in no way a mechanic of any type. I am using trial and error and a whole lot of youtube to stumble my way through this.
I have mt tractor all blocked up and ready to be split, but noticed something odd. (Maybe it's just me)
I went to shut off the fuel valve on the back of the sediment bowl and it is already screwed in as tight as it would go. I thought it was odd because I am assuming that when t is screwed in the fuel line is closed, but we have been using the tractor for several weeks now and as far as I know the valve has always been screwed in tight.
My question is this... First, can anyone confirm that screwing the valve valve knob tight in towards the sediment bowl is considered the off position? Secondly, if it has been in the off position how am I able to run the tractor? Thanks all, am looking forward to hearing from you!
