    A few months ago I bought a new fuel valve to replace the leaky one that I had on my 800. The new one leaked when the valve was in the on position even more than the old one did so I brought it back to the store and got a different one. That one leaked too. No leaks when the valve was off but there was a steady drip when it was on. I was frustrated, but the leak was slow enough that I didn't think the tractor would start on fire plus I had to use it so I sent it. I few days later I went to use the tractor again, turned the valve on, and there was no leak at all. Months have passed and the thing still doesn't leak. I'm guessing that the o-ring in the valve gets dry and has to be exposed to gas to swell up a little bit. Once it has done that (?) it stops leaking. It's the only explanation I have.

    Good call. My IP was missing the governor rubber ring, just like yours. Back together now and working perfectly on my 861. My biggest problem on the tear down was the cam bolt removal. Luckily I kept from breaking it but I did break several tools. Finally ordered the Bristol spline wrench. I then cut an inch and 1/2 off the new wrench, then pressed it in a number 7MM, 1/4 socket with some epoxy. Then snapped in 3/8 to 1/4 adapter, and was able to finally loosen the cam with a breaker bar and some tapping. Took me 2 weeks and a lot of cuss words. Again your good explanations theory, timing was right on. It gave me the courage. Thanks.

      @johnbuchel7220 glad to hear you got it working. That bristol bolt can be a pain. On my 861, I got it out with a torx bit, but on the 4000 I used a 1/4" hex and it worked just fine. It was pretty tight though. Had me worried before it came loose.

    • @chickenhousemechanic
      @chickenhousemechanic 23 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @TroyTyler-p5p depending on how long tractor has sat, it could be multiple things. If tractor has set for a while it could be gummed up inside, metering valve stuck, insufficient fuel flow to pump. If it hasn't been sitting, something is probably broken inside the pump and will need to be disassembled and inspected.

    Maybe someone else has said this but... When you were adjusting the draft, etc. you were repeatedly measuring the 26.5" distance from the wall. As I was watching this part of the video I was saying to myself, just take a Sharpie and mark a line on the lift arm and a line on the top cover. Then you have an easy reference for when your lift arm is 0.5" from the bottom so you know it's in the right place for making the adjustments. You don't have to keep measuring the distance from the wall. That said, I have to add that this video was very, very helpful for me. I bought an 851 a few years ago and the main reason I wanted that tractor was because of the three point hitch. However, my three point has never worked right. It goes up and down just fine (or at least it did) but it wants to settle and jerk up, settle and jerk up, etc. I use a box scraper or back blade to grade my driveway and the way the 851's three point works makes the tractor useless for grading. I can't keep the implement at a constant point since it wants to sag all the time. Last year I rebuilt the top cover. By "rebuilt" I mean I replaced all the o-rings and the seals on the piston. It didn't make any differnce. After I did that I realized I'd forgotten the o-ring on the back pressure valve/check valve on the front of the cover. Last weekend I serviced that, put everything back together, and now I have no operation at all. I took things apart, checked this video to make sure I'd put things together right, and reassembled it. Still no lift. So I took the top cover completely off and now it is sitting on my bench waiting to be worked on. I think part of my previous problem with the sagging was that things were out of adustment. That will be part of the job this weekend. The other part will be looking for foreign matter that may have gotten into the cylinder assembly while I was working on the back pressure valve. I'm hoping I'll find something that will explain why I suddenly have no operation in the three point hitch.

    • @chickenhousemechanic
      @chickenhousemechanic 25 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @schafn the sharpie mark would work great. Nice idea. I probably wouldntve done it on this one since it was fresh paint but one I was repairing sure. Usually that jumping like that is air in the system or fluid leaking passed a seal. My 861 did that for a while. It eventually stopped. As for the no operation your pump may have lost prime. Unscrewing the hex head plug at front of pump and running tractor until fluid comes out will prime system. If that doesn't fix it then something may be binding in the top cover. On some of those valve, like the unload valve, incorrect size o-rings can cause them to stick and lift not work properly.

In my shop manual it reads to " Install the large seal journal end of the control valve pointing toward the sleeve and flange end of control valve" and this is the way I observed it as I was disassembling,,,, after new seals and reinstalling, on start up mine runs away turning to the left and hard turning back to the right.

      @danielgeorge2735 Not sure what manual you are using. I have the red shop manual and it says "install a new seal at each end of the valve spool with cup side in. Make sure the seal with the largest I.D. is positioned at the cylinder end of the valve housing". This is how mine came apart. As for it turning to the left, mine did that as well. When I took it back apart the 1/8" pin broke on me and had slid out of it grove causing the valve to be pushed in the valve housing causing fluid to be pushed into the cylinder making the wheel turn. Once I replaced the pin, the wheels held straight. Didn't film any of that though.

      I would look for a 2 bottom plow that is either a 12 or 14 inch spacing. There's many brands of good ones that parts can still be had for. A good one usually runs around $500 in my area. As for a cultivator, a simple single row works great. Bush hogs are a little tricky on 8ns. A 4 foot will be OK in high grass and a 5 foot in shorter grass will work but you'll want an over running clutch on your pto for either size. Prices can vary widely on bush hogs.

      @narcissistinjurygiver2932 you'll want a disc harrow to smooth your field after you plow it. That's pretty much the basics. A rototiller is nice but would be a nightmare to run on an 8n.

      @@chickenhousemechanic the reason i am looking at a 8n is because it is cheap, easy to fix, parts are cheap. Is there a better tractor that meets all those qualities that you can recommend?

      @narcissistinjurygiver2932 the hundred series up through the thousand series are great tractors but they are more than an 8n for sure. An 8n will do most work needed for a small farm but if you ever get a chance to use a newer tractor you'll see the shirt comings of an 8n. Pretty much all I use the 8n for anymore is cultivating and pulling a trailer.

    When I look up this part number it comes up as an automotive seal is that correct?

      Yes. They were used on many cars and trucks back in the day. I actually got mine from Napa.

    Where did you order your tank to filter and filter to pump fuel lines?

    • @chickenhousemechanic
      @chickenhousemechanic 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The tank to filter lines I made from 1/4" tubing. The hose from the filter to the pump came from New Holland. Part number 84252200.

    Enjoyed your video except for the old rummie panhandling at the start babbling about malarkey.

    I have a possibly 1956 ford diesel tractor. I’m hoping you see this and can help me out. The numbers on the engine block are: B8NN 6015B. And the only numbers I can read behind the starter are 2120. 6. Is this enough to identify what it is.

    • @chickenhousemechanic
      @chickenhousemechanic 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hard to say since those numbers aren't adding up. A diesel wasn't available in 1956. The engine number should be a B9NN-6015B to be a diesel engine. That would be an early 172ci engine vs the 6015J. The 2120 could be a serial number but if it's the model number than that would be a 2000 model tractor which puts it as a 1963 or 1964 but with the smaller 144ci diesel engine or 134ci gas engine.

    Very good video but I need one for a 6000 commander I think it's a 1964 since it has the orange paint underneath the blue
