Hello there tractor folk
I'm new to the forum and am seeking some help. 2 issues are on top of my list
I purchased a '48 8N from a shirttail relative in Wyoming and I'm starting through it.
1)
After 10 years in a field, I've just started thru my 8N. new wiring , clean carb new rad, new oil pres. gage. When started, gage quickly goes to 60 or so --may be pegged and stays there.
2)
It barely runs (when pulled to start) on one lung with only 35 psi in #2 and 0 to 5 psi compression in the other 3. Wet testing with all plugs out takes #2 to 70psi and barely affects the others. Amazingly, it let me drive it around for a couple of miles and up a pretty steep hill back to the barn.
What is the cause of the high oil pressure that I have?
Are there places on the forum I should be looking for "low compression overhaul tips"? I'm brand new to the forum and have read many many interesting posts.
