The Fordson Tractor Pages Forum

Now she wasnt empty on fuel but wasnt full up. But she just would not start up again.....arfter nume...

Hi all,

Have another question for you all. What oil should i put in my engine and transmission as well. My N is a 1942 petrol so guessing that makes it a high compression engine.

many thanks

Hi all,

as the title say im arfter a new zenith carb for my model n. As my float screw has been butcherd and i need to remove it as its no good. Let me know what you got.

Kyle

Many thanks, for replying.

Hi All,

Got what is probabaly going to be a stupid question, But what implements were used with the Model n Pto's. As my 1942 n Has a PTO,were they designed for a special Job/implement?

many thanks

Hi All,

Quick question, my fordson n Has a PTO fitted straight out of the gear box. What i was wondering is, is it possible to fit a Pulley as well as i do have the blanking plate over where the pulley would be.

Many thanks

BUMP..... No one got any old tyres lying about don't mind if they are heavily worn, just would rather older tread pattern then modern ones.

Buster

Hi all,

Does anyone know the what model code and manufactuar of the orignal model N spark plugs were please?

Buster

Hi All,

Im arfter a set of rear tyres to fit my model, would like original tread tyre cross overs made by Dunlop (not sure the propper name of them) . Or will consider new tread ones.

Buster

Hey,

Many thanks for replying back to me. I will get pics up as soon as possible once i have her back home in the garage.

Hi all, Now i have finally managed to have a look at my latest purchase a 1942 fordson n. I now have a few questions that i'd like to ask you all, so hope you don't mind me doing so. 1. Looking at my carb and comparing it to others i have seen my seems to look newer as it's a Zeneth carb, is this a ...

Thanks everyone for all the help. Was chatting to a friends of mine father who has some tractors. Asked him what he ran and he said he uses normal parafin with some 2-stroke oil in it, as it wont seperate up. what do you guys think to that?

Buster

Hi all,

What is the correct starting procedure for a fordson n, guessing it would say in a manual if someone happens to have one.

Buster

Hey,

Yeah sorry guess it would have helped had i mentioned waht tractor. It's a 1942 fordson n.Havnt picked her up yet but will hopefully this week so just wanted to know more about her, as not used to vintage tractors. More used to modern ones.

Buster

Lastly you mentioned peoples own TVO mix, is this because we cant get paraffin in large quantitys any m...

Hi all,

Im new to this forum so please bear with me. I have a quick question. If a tractor is petrol/paraffin, can you run it on either or is one just for starting the engine then you switch over to the other?

Sorry about the (what im guessing) simple question.
