General Discussion / Quick Hitch
« on: August 27, 2010, 08:59:24 AM »
Does anyone have any experience with Quick hitch or any type of easy three point that you don't have to get off the seat to engage?

Please give feedback!

Myself and another N owner are looking into getting these, 'cause they look EASY.

Better yet. My father in law took it to a tractor mechanic. Now it is his problem to throw money at. When it comes back to the farm it will be running great, never to have problems again. LOL

I installed electronic ignition in it and it has found a multitude of other problems since. I think it is all fuel system related, because it has to be under a load and then it starts sputtering and stuff.

Next stop is remove the original fuel system and install a elbow off the tank, fuel shutoff, and an inline filter. Then, rebuild the carb.

Any advice on a carb kit: Basic or Comprehensive?

Some outside opinions would be helpful here. :-\
Thanks in advance,
James

Forgot to mention the sediment bowl last week was completely full of rust. cleaned it and an hour later it was full again. I know rusty tank right.

Welcome to the forum.

I live in Enid and enjoy the little ford I use occasionally. I am having problems my own with the little jewel I run. I just don't have time to work on it. The 9n I run is my father in laws. He bought several years ago and paid 2500 for it with out a brush cutter. He also installed an ORC and sway bars.

Changed the oil and the wiring so there is less resistance. Changed the rotor bug and sharpened the blades. It ran like a champ, but I did not get a chance to mow with it.

Ran the tractor for a couple more hours this weekend. Bought a disc for deer plots and it seems to run it fairly well. After pulling dirt for an hour, I hooked up the mower to see if I could adjust the carb. for better performance. I checked the fuel line then went to mowing. Right off I killed the tractor. Then after some tinkering I got it to run pretty well by opening the jet. Still runs well while cutting, but I think a carb kit is next. :)

I then will set out to completely rewire the thing, spool of #12 and #16, a pack of connectors, soldering iron, solder, shrink wrap, and it is off to the races. :o

Now it starts and runs just fine, first crank.

New problem >:( As soon as the mower hits the grass, it bogs down. The mowing appears somewhat short, but the engine rpm slows and then it starts to backfire. I then have to depress the clutch to prevent it stalling. I back up and try again. It even gave my brother in law trouble driving uphill in road gear.

I will replace the oil and filter, oil pressure gauge, and rotor bug this weekend.

ANY SUGGESTIONS? :-[ :-[ :-[

This is the little jewel I use and work on, with me on it.

Anyone have a fix for the 3-point moving on its own. I release the handle and the next thing I know the implement is all the way up or all the way down.

Got a cure for that?

Yes

A friend of mine changed his to that configuration when he was in high school for his uncle. Weld new outer rims on or something.

I'm following you.

I need to overhaul after the ignition too. I don't want to, but my father in-law is likely to balk at the price of a new carb. Remove and replace is my normal mode of repair, but funding must be available for projects.

I think I will start by fixing or changing the breather, maybe K&N filter. Any comments on this?????

I installed the electronic ignition wires to the + and - poles on the resistor coil. I think the ignition wire is acually from the resistor, kind of in a hurry yesterday and did not look very close. I live 35 miles from the little jewel so I don't see it every day. Connected the coil and spark plug wires a few times, then it started. I had also replaced the plugs and wires at the same time. The only part not included in the kit is a rotor bug. I will replace it when I see the tractor again.

The funny thing is, the tractor did not want to start immediately after this change. I took everything apart twice and finally right before being forced to leave for work it started. Then I had to run it around the yard and pull some trees to see how it would pull. It did just fine.

I just got mine, but I have 12V Neg ground. Not much help am I. I will install this very soon.
James

Just finished the install today and the tractor runs GOOD.

To answer the above question: the wiring diagram might be correct. Did your kit come with a 'resistor coil'? If it came with a coil, it will have a resistance on the box label. If so it will wire directly through the ignition switch avoiding the resistor. This is how my diagram shows it, yours will be similar if it is "Pertronix." JP
