$600 Ford 8N. Call and get the specifics. rear tire looks ok, check both. If it's something you want to pursue, take a can of carb cleaner from Walmart, and a battery over, and stop at the local Auto Zone, borrow a compression tester.

Hook up the battery(pay attention to the positive ground if it's original), Loosen the black rubber boot hose to the carb, have the spritz can of carb cleaner ready when you crank the engine, spray the carb cleaner into the intake where the boot was. Hope it will fire.

If it runs briefly on the carb cleaner, then take off the ignition wires, remove the spark plugs, and use the compression tester on each cylinder with the hand throttle all the way open. Should get about 70-80Lbs on EACH cylinder. If this check out, pay the man, and take it home.

There may be 15-30 different things you'll need to fix or upgrade. Clean the fuel tank, and petcock. Clean and adjust the carb. Set/replace the points. Drain gear lube and replace. Adjust or rebuild the hyd unit. Lots of learning to go on, and this gets you started at the low end. Good luck. Keep us informed.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
