The CNC has nothing to do with it. Just take that carb apart and clean it, it probably has just a single gasket you can make if you ruin it disassembling it. I really like working on these old tractors because a clean carb, a sealed tank, new lines and all the screens /filters cleared and it should be pretty reliable with what really isn't that much work. And as a bonus you don't even have to crawl around on the ground to mess with the fuel tank like you would for a car. And I don't know who needs to hear this but I say it all the time. These days you want a plastic fuel tank ideally, if you can't get one, seal your steak tanks. The OEM coatings are gone or we're not designed for the blends of fuels that we have today and they will just ride away and put dirty fuel into your screens/filters.

@@berryreading4809 9N's(39-42) and 2N's(42-47) were dark grey, just like the Ferguson's. Some stories indicate that Ford initially bought up all the surplus battleship grey that predated the US Navy standardized paint colours, and the tractors shared the paint colour inconsistencies that the battleships did. Considering the 9n's were US market tractors, worries about the Luftwaffe definitely do not apply. Story goes that when Ferguson and Ford parted ways Harry took the paint codes with him. Hence why the 8N is a lighter grey with red castings.

About that manifold setup. Old Munktells had two fuel tanks. One small for gasoline, and one bigger for kerosene. When it's warm and cozy, you could run it on kerosene thanks to the pre-heated intake manifold. Back in the day it was way cheaper than gas. Bet this one could run on it too.. maybe. But like you said. It's not the way if you want some power 😅

[@MrTheHillfolk]

Down here in the 845 area code ,as I was filling up at the station the other day I glanced at the kerosene pump price and actually had to go inside and wipe my crack as a little bit of poop came out. 8$ a gallon 😳

Be sure to check the googlator valve just shy of the blinker fluid dispenser, wouldn't want your mufler bearings seizing up causing your automatic seat inflator to overheat

@@MrSiloketh That's the problem with you shade tree mechanics. You know damn well the linkalator is the first thing to go, then you look at the other stuff.

You know what - those Chinesium shiny carbs DO make good lamps for the shop. Be sure to keep them away from any tractor since the Retro-Fabricators (yeah - the Cloners) never did get ANY training on replicating ANY tractor carb. 1 in 1,000 will work (by accidental mis-crossed construction and middle of the night upgrades). The very best advice you can be given is to meticulously clean and then rebuild the old carbonater. Mind you - that would be THE VERY BEST advice if someone were to, say, share it with you.

That is a Fugerson probably 20 the carb you got is for a 8N ford the holes are threaded because it takes studs. Side note I recently put one of those on a 8n and it surprisingly works great. Nice find on the tractor could get a rebuild kit if you can't find a diffrent carb. Good luck on getting it running they are good tractors.

found it: Because of the sudden absence of traditional enemies, "new enemies must be identified."[2] "In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill...All these dangers are caused by human intervention, and it is only through changed attitudes and behavior that they can be overcome. The real enemy then is humanity itself."[3]

i've had decent luck with chinese carbys, but they definitely take some finagling. looks like you should mail that one back to bezos and try again though, don't worry he has plenty more. Too bad about the old feller, just like the tractor he was running fine until he wasn't, then the lady got rid of him.

Thanks for making some videos closer to your old style of content AvE, i appreciate you spitting some truth too, keep your stick in a vice.... bought a UK hub for a US tractor, well it was cheaper to get the UK bearings and build it, and then i found out the wheel bolt holes were metric! lucky me i spent too much on tools and i have the drill bit and tap to make it work... then found out the center cap was different too.... F me, well now the engine is in 500 pieces spending my money faster then a senile prick that craps his pants, way shes goes bud, way shes goes

I pretty near proved the widow maker aspect (except wasn't married at the time) when pulling logs out of the bush. Let the clutch go and WHOA NELLY she got up on her hind lags...slammed the clutch back down, changed m'drawers and hooked up a little lower for the rest of the logs. Wish I still had that little tractor. The carb is pretty rudimentary, does it need to be replaced or just need a good cleaning?

[@scoutin1637]

I had one of these tractors go up in flames while I was on it for that exact reason. I was working in an orchard which had 4 or 5 of them which saved me from being fired for supposedly overfilling the gas tank and causing the fire. The mechanic checked the other tractors and they all had substantial leaks starting. We got the fire out by re-directing the 3 inch sprinkler hand lines which pumps a shit ton of water, basically like dumping bath tubs of water. Exciting morning in the country for sure!

[@freelectron2029]

modern ethanol fuels eat the coating on the inside of the old steel tanks and corrode brazing and the steel itself. this is ALL old tanks now leak. it wasnt your fault, it was a maintenance issue. the tanks should have been replaced with plastic ones.

[@gantz4u]

@@freelectron2029 Install an inline filter. It takes 2 seconds and has a petcock to store your carbs dry.

[@freelectron2029]

@@gantz4u how does that protect the fuel tank 🤔

[@gantz4u]

@@freelectron2029 Because large particulate from rusting of the fuel tank dirties the carb. Small pieces of iron oxide pass thru but get burnt in the combustion process as they are able to pass the jet and needle seat. Whatever dude IDC. All my stuff cranks first pull with out touching it every since the last time we had that convo. on a pressure washer, he stored wet. he just doesnt listen. If you mean why we store carbs dry its because the evap of the small amount of gas in the bowl leaves a gummy film and the ethanol absorbs water. water floats on gas. So youre first pull is a shot of pure water and a fuel tank pulls gas from the bottom.

@@gantz4u the problem isnt dirty fuel. its disintegrating fuel tanks that leak fuel all over a hot engine.

Those old updraft carbs are stupid simple. Easy enough to clean it out and get it burbling again. The gaskets are probably hard as heck to find, but those will be really simple as well. Should be able to find a sheet of gasket material at nearly any parts store and just cut it out to the shape you need. Tear it down, try to save as much of the old gaskets as possible to use as patterns, soak the bits for a while in your choice of cleaner that isn't overly aggressive, and blow out any passages with compressed air. That's one of the things I like about working on those older engines. Damn near indestructible as long as they have/had oil in them when running and simple as the day is long. My buddy has his grandfather's old Model A that hasn't run since the 40's. Poured a little gas down the carbie and a few drops in the cylinders, thing fired right up.
