Re: Fordson Assistance
Interesting thing is the coils don't buzz - ever. Have started it probably a dozen times and no buzz. Previous owner said they never buzzed for him either.

Re: Fordson Assistance
Nikolaus - would you happen to have the length difference in timer rods (might as well check that too - even though it looks original)? Fordson House lists 2 styles (17-27 and28-38) - but gives no information on lengths.

Can you clarify what you mean by "the F timer is rotationally indexed differently than a T?" It has a New Day flapper style timer, so I k...

Re: Fordson Assistance
Kevin,
I greatly appreciate the reply. But there would have to be flow between the needle and the seat or fuel would never make it up to vaporizer plates and tractor would never start. They couldn't really be sealed.

Fordson Assistance
Am hoping there are some Fordson folks on here - the antique tractor forums don't seem to have many active Fordson enthusiasts. I recently acquired a 1923 F. Starts (when it wants to) on mag without battery assistance - not easily, but eventually. Has a lot of trouble starting when it's hot (very di...
