How can I tell if my thumbscrew to the sediment bulb is open or closed? It also appears to be leaking at the nut before the sediment bulb. Is there a gasket inside there that may require replacing?

All good info...my dad used the string from feed sacks to pack the valve..just unscrew the cap, turning counter clockwise from rear of tractor, wind up some floss, thread, thread tape, etc., then tighten it up. The gasket where the bulb mounts to the valve is notorious for leaking...be sure and check there.
Also, I bought the inside tank filter that attaches to the sediment valve from here...it forces your tractor to use fuel about 2 inches above bottom...really cuts down on crud in the carb/fuel line. Best money I've spent on my tractor.

Try wrapping Plumbers Tape around the shut off thing. Or dental floss also works

Gently snug the nut down a little until there is a slight resistance when you tighten the thumb screw. The gasket at the top of the sediment bowl could also be leaking. The gasket is probably sold on this site for a couple of dollars. Ellis

I am replacing the bulb / sediment glass bowl on my Farmall H. Got a new one from this site, which I will install shortly. Both the new one and the old one, all have right-hand threads. In other words, looking at the knob from the driver's seat, turn everything clock-wise to shut it off, to tighten it up.

If you are talking about around the nut holding the shutoff shaft you turn there is packing inside that nut. You will have to adjust it to not leak yet be able to turn the shutoff.

Show Coverage: Fair Weather Tractor - by Dave M.. No, Fair Weather isn't some rare brand. It's the kind you can't leave out in the rain. Here's how it happened. I had been casually looking for a tractor for weeks. I saw a few 9N's, but they had even fewer amenities than the 8N my Grandpa bought new in '52 with a Dearborn loader. That was 10 years before I was born, so I grew up thinking that 8N was the world's best tractor. Grandpa had greenhouses, with over half an acre under glass, and that 8N did almost everything. It was the only
