Anxious to hear this thing run

Well, it would be had I not found the radiator issue. I was ready to mock up the tins and complete the final assembly. after that it should be just fluids.

Cannot believe I spent so much time on this valve. I went to a few stores to try and get a new one and met with failure. So I figure no problem, I will just fix it. I have a drawer full of nuts and other similar fasteners. I tried every one in an attempt to repair it. I figured I could braze it on or find some other way to make it work. I failed once again. I guess I will have to find one on line somewhere. So far all I have found is the complete bowl assembly.

I meant a drawer full of wing nuts.

Learned some stuff while at TSC today. I had no idea most of the parts I need or will need for this 2N are hanging on hooks and sitting on the shelves in stock at TSC. New fuel bowl assemblies are $29.99 and they have all the individual parts for them. Well, with the exception of the valve I need. The other thing I learned is the fuel bowl on my Ford is actually for an Allis-Chalmers. It does the job so I see no reason to change it.

I think I recommended Yesterdays Tractors to you in a previous thread. I went with a Tisco overhaul kit from them and everything went together perfect. The hardest part of the whole rebuild was removing the old engine sleeves. I've only had one issue with YT and it was a bad solenoid. I emailed them about it and they sent me another one in no time. If you have a Tractor Supply in your area you might check there too. I'm surprised how many parts they keep in stock for Ford tractors here.

No idea?

Perhaps I should have worded that differently.

I figured little things were be there. But damn man, I can almost rebiuld this thing with off the shelf parts from TSC.

 

[Lonesome7.3]

Man I have been busy as of late. And on top of it all I just inherited yet another tractor. But, I will get into that at another time. I have a little update on this 2N. I got the lower tank off so I can repair the leaks. Thanks to the new torch I picked up recently, I should have this knocked out. Well, when I have the time that is.

Thats looks awful.

TSC should have every common maintenance part for that tractor. If they dont have it in store they have a 6 inch thick catalog for every part of every common tractor brand hidden at the service counter.


The trick is finding someone who knows how to use the book AND special order.
