Hey fellas, I'm having another one of those wonderfully simple challenges... My tractor isn't running well all of a sudden. It's:
A: Not getting proper fuel flow
or
B: Not cooling to the point of shutting the tractor down. So, first of all, I cleaned out the radiator grill and front last night as it was coated with grass and stuff. I could run about 3 hours with no problem, then it went to about 2 hours, then an hour and half, then an hour and so on until now, within a couple of minutes it begins to stutter and hesitate under load. I added fluid to the radiator reservoir, but I can't get that darn square nut/bolt off to drain it back to the proper level so the thermo-siphon will operate properly (I guess-- by the way does the Thermo-siphon suck or just blow? ;) ) I am also getting ready to pull the carb off as it looks like the needle valve is sticking (one of them there rubber tipped goombas) and I might be having a little stickyness to the floats. Oh yeah, I can't seem to keep the idle speed working, either. So my questions are these:
1) Does all this sound like I am working sensibly?
2) Does anyone know where I can get a total brass valve solution for my MS-carb?
3) In the parts catalog (Binder's Books) p 77, items 6 and 7 from the diagrma on p 76, are the metal fuel line and the coupling nuts for the A/B models. Does anyone know where these items can be purchased new or a place where a suitable replacement can be had-- mine are starting to leak from all the work I have been doing and the fitting nuts are worn (that way when I got the tractor-- like someone worked them with pliers instead of a wrench.) The part Nos. I require are: 58138 DX for the line and 29899 D for the coupling nuts. Once again, thanks for all the support and sage wisdom before I receive it. Christopher

The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
