Ford 841 today's update

grandpa Love · Aug 24, 2021

Got home from work, miserable 100 degrees, installing black aluminum fence. Anyway...... Took carb off our 950, it has a Zenith, took Marvel off the 841. Stuck it on the 950,fired right up and a quick tweek of main jet it runs perfectly.......uh-Oh, but wait, put zenith on 841 and it's 99 percent better!! No smoke. Smooth running, ran it around the yard then took off up the road in 4th, zero issues. Looks like the carbs will stay swapped!! Lol

Whatever it takes, glad you have it running.

I knew you would get it going!

Just means what ever issues the 841 had swapping the carbs fix it. Could have been as simple as a vacuum leak where the carb bolts to the manifold or a simple issue with gas flow in the carb it self

That temperature is hard to work in. Hate to know what the feel like temperature is with the humidity you have done there.

Good on getting the tractors running.

This is best argument ever for having more tractors. They can actually fix each other once you reach critical tractor mass.

That's some inexpensive troubleshooting, good going!

I have used the same strategy to troubleshoot a Super A.

That's a bit too hot.

Nice that you have both tractors running good now.

Look at the brass 90 elbow where fuel enters carb. It has a screen and blocks fuel flow. Take the elbow off.

Good deal !! Glad you got the new Ford running good . 100 degrees-That is pretty hot , too hot for me.

That's strange...

How, why? Same size engines, drawing the same air volume, same fuel ratio needed.

Unexplained mysteries!

old · Aug 24, 2021

Not on the 841 or 961. Both have the sediment bowl at the carb if factory and a banjo bolt into the carb so no screen

Just goes to prove they work on voodoo

I'm glad you got it smoothed out. I was about to get worried since I don't think I've ever sold you a dud. Don't want to start now either. Hey, I just got in a low hour Belarus, wait, never mind...

Did you buy a SD Cub at that Weiman auction? 8/29 sold for less than $800, CLetrac at $3500, Total sales price was about 20K
