Several months ago I sold a 9N Ford Tractor with some accessories to a guy. He paid cash the day of the sale and agreed to come back for the bucket/loader & two bottome plow. To date he has not made any attempt to return nor contact me as promised. Have left several messages on his voice mail but not heard back. Also when I wrote him the receipt of the purchase I included his address of which I stopped by same the other day and discovered by the current person residing that no one knew of him.

The guy is now imposing upon you. He?s taking up your valuable space, he?s taking up your valuable time, and he?s making you do the legwork of tracking him down. Sometimes it?s hard to know when you?ve stopped being a gentleman and have become a doormat. Once you figure out where that fine line is, you?ll know it?s ok to get his junk out of your garage. If you feel bad about selling it twice, give it away to a school or church or anyone with a truck who will haul it away. If you want to give have one last shot at tracking him down, try zabasearch.com or pipl.com. From swilliams268 at frontier.com Mon Jul 1 13:27:47 2013 From: swilliams268 at frontier.com (Steve W.)

One do the leg work yourself and try to find the guy. OR - Send a registered letter to the address. When/If it comes back as non-deliverable then contact your local police department and explain the situation and ask if they can trace him in regards to abandoned property. The clock starts ticking when you send the letter. Then the limit depends on your area but it usually ranges from 60-90 days. -- Steve W.

If the transaction was a few months ago and the person living at that address doesn't know that person, then my first question would have been how long has the current person lived there. If they moved in after your transaction it would be possible that address is correct and the buyer has moved, otherwise it would indicate the address was incorrect. If you have a working phone number for the person, I'd keep calling it at different times and days until someone answers. If space is not a concern, I'd personally hold the items for a year before attempted to dispose of them to someone else.

While worthwhile, it's NOT what you asked for! The answer to your question is that the time period varies from state to state. Further, in some states, it varies dependent upon the value (or the amt. paid for) of the item. Only someone knowledge of the law in your state (and the state of the buyer) can give you a reasoned opinion in answer to your question! Dave PS, On a happier note: If he has no record of the sale (i.e. a receipt, etc) and if you are willing to lie under oath, you are free to do as you wish! PPS, The fact that the government now has a record of the sale (proven by your first post) may cause you to reconsider my first "PS".

The guy had payed him a visit about a month before he bought the tractor asking to borrow money but was refused and started to bad mouth him and his wife so through him off his property. He did suggest that I call there sister and maybe she would know where he was so did. She told me that he had showed up at there farm just prior to him paying me for the tractor to ask if he could store the tractor there but her husband refused and he cussed them out and left. She had heard he was living at a cheap motel in a town 20 miles away and heard the tractor was being stored by the owner of the resturant next door. I dicided to drive over and look for him. Got there about lunch time and stopped at the resturant because I knew the owner well and discussed the issue while eating lunch. The owner said he did have the tractor in one of his building nearby but the guy was not paying the storage charges so thought he would try to reposes it for the past rent due. After lunch I went over to the motel and talked to the lady who owned it. She asked how well I knew him so explained the sale of the tractor and what the family had told me about his condition. She warned me that she had given him notice last week to pack up and move because him going of the wall disturbing other motel quests plus not paying his rent. Also she advised that it might not be a good idea to call on him today as he had had another blow up runing in out of his room yelling and cussing earlier.

Let's see if I can answer the questions posed here: The engine is a 5 HP Acadia engine with an ignitor for ignition. It is two cycle and direct connected to the driveshaft and propeller. To reverse the boat you flip a switch that kills the battery. While the engine is slowing down you retard the timing with the timing lever. When it is just about to stop rotating you fill the switch and if all goes right it will kick against compression and reverse direction. If it doesn't go right you run into the dock. We did get pretty good at changing engine direction. The previous owner had put the outboard on the back of the boat. We will be removing it first chance we get. We controlled the speed mostly by adjusting the throttle in the carburetor. Moving the timing lever didn't seem to change the speed much. Arnie, I think I need to get a few more hours of running under my belt before we set sail on the Mississippi. :-) Bo, yes, JB has a great event, we've been to it twice. Hopefully next year we can take Putt Putt to Louisiana. If anyone has additional questions please let me know.

Fair Warning, LOL. I need to talk to a good ford mechanic if we have any on the list. I need to run through some ideas. Its in the van I just got to replace the Hawkins Machine I lost in the wreck nearly three weeks ago. . Its had all new plugs, rotor and cap, fuel filter and now I know its throwing a code 33 as I bought a code reader today for the old ones. OBD 1 . . Heres the rest. I knew this when I got it but Its got a bad stumble at all rpms. Idle, light acceleration and at speed. Seems to not stumble under hard acceleration. Goes pretty good. It is throwing a 33 EGR code. After several hours of cussing and misery in the sun and heat I checked out the EGR as best I could and finally tore it all out. One cuss of a job. Not an easy job considering where its buried. All parts check out. I have 5 V power to the solenoid switch on, Continuity of the solenoid windings. No vacuum at idle. The EGR valve itself works as it should but I have an egr code and the stumbling. Maybe the two are not related? In either case its throwing a 33. I am starting to think I might have a bad computer. So if anyone is very familiar with these beasts please help. At least just running through some ideas. I am going back out now to reassemble. If I could just get the stumble to go away I would not give a hoot about the 33 . Will try to check the timing chain tomorrow.

Old Ford 5.8 liter 351 Windsor Engine Problems Message-ID: <702b9012.3e22d8.13fea730d68.Webtop.49@charter.net> Mark, check ignition timing, probably should be 10 degrees with the "spout" disconected, the spout is spark out, a wire, usualy near the distributor, some are an inline connector, some have a gray plastic shunt that you pull, brings it down to base timing. The 5 volts is on the egr sensor, not the solenoid, it's on top of the egr valve. Three wires, one should be 5 volts, one ground, the other is signal return, I believe .5 volts on this one, some of the early ones were 1 volt. If the voltage is high, you can grind a little off of the punger to lower it, if it's low I squeeze the very tip of the plunger in the vise to make it longer. The EGR valves build up carbon on the seat, lifting it and showing high voltage when it should be seeing closed voltage, it will set a code, usually won't affect running much. Map sensors are critical on these, you need a hertz meter to check it, I have one on my Fluke, it's been a long time since I checked one, seems like 159 to 160 here, were just a few feet above sea level, there are charts that will give the specs for the baro reading. Be sure the vacuum hose ot it is open, if it's colapsed or clogged it will stumble because the sensor isn't reading vacuum drop quick enough, if you can find a sensor it's easy enough to just try one. Fuel pressure, guessing 34 psi on this one, I can look it up tomorrow. Try unplugging the O2 sensor, see if ti runs better that way. If I think of anything else I will let you know. J.B.

Didn't the 351W have a problem wit sloppy timing chains? I seem to remember there was something in one of the trades about chain stretch causing timing shift. -- Steve W.

Still trying to understand the procedure of the running test. I suck at understanding written instruction but I can catch demonstration instantly. The problem with written instruction is its written by people intimately familiar with the procedure so important minor details get glossed over. But I will try to do it tomorrow. I do remember Ford is great for using the fiber or plastic timing gear and it likes to wear along with chain stretch. I plan to do a chain and gear set on it as soon as I get the other problems ironed out. I am going to investigate the EGR solenoid tomorrow. It may have a leak. If the EGR is not opening due to not enough vacuum from the solenoid at higher rpm the timing is then wrong for the resulting mix of combustion gas. This could create the P I Ping I am hearing under acceleration. If the solenoid is leaking it would also explain the stumble. Will have to check it out. My poor old 93 had 260K on it and running strong. I had planned to take it to at least 300. But the inner body was getting really rough.

The final solution was the PCM ( Powertrain Control Module ) was at fault. A capacitor was bad on the board. I repaired the board with a new capacitor of the correct rating and reinstalled the computer to find a great running engine. No more stalling bucking stumbling or spark knock.

The guy is now imposing upon you. He?s taking up your valuable space, he?s taking up your valuable time, and he?s making you do the legwork of tracking him down. Sometimes it?s hard to know when you?ve stopped being a gentleman and have become a doormat. Once you figure out where that fine line is, you?ll know it?s ok to get his junk out of your garage. If you feel bad about selling it twice, give it away to a school or church or anyone with a truck who will haul it away. If you want to give have one last shot at tracking him down, try zabasearch.com or pipl.com. From swilliams268 at frontier.com Mon Jul 1 13:27:47 2013 From: swilliams268 at frontier.com (Steve W.)

One do the leg work yourself and try to find the guy. OR - Send a registered letter to the address. When/If it comes back as non-deliverable then contact your local police department and explain the situation and ask if they can trace him in regards to abandoned property. The clock starts ticking when you send the letter. Then the limit depends on your area but it usually ranges from 60-90 days. -- Steve W.

If the transaction was a few months ago and the person living at that address doesn't know that person, then my first question would have been how long has the current person lived there. If they moved in after your transaction it would be possible that address is correct and the buyer has moved, otherwise it would indicate the address was incorrect. If you have a working phone number for the person, I'd keep calling it at different times and days until someone answers. If space is not a concern, I'd personally hold the items for a year before attempted to dispose of them to someone else.

While worthwhile, it's NOT what you asked for! The answer to your question is that the time period varies from state to state. Further, in some states, it varies dependent upon the value (or the amt. paid for) of the item. Only someone knowledge of the law in your state (and the state of the buyer) can give you a reasoned opinion in answer to your question! Dave PS, On a happier note: If he has no record of the sale (i.e. a receipt, etc) and if you are willing to lie under oath, you are free to do as you wish! PPS, The fact that the government now has a record of the sale (proven by your first post) may cause you to reconsider my first "PS".

Believe it to be a model N, 1 1/2hp. This previous owner had completely torn down the engine and was planning to restore and get running so all the parts were still there. It also has both the ignitor asy as well as the spark plug asy so its possible to run it either way. I am chosing the ignitor method. When sorting through all the parts yesterday discovered that the ID serial plate was missing off the hopper, just the two brass screws were there. I can't remember if I bought it that way or have missplaced the tag. My help question is does anyone know where the serial number might be stamped if at all? I have pretty much wire wheeled all the of the engine and checked the most likely places like water hopper, flywheels, end of the crank shafts and flat areas just forward the crank shaft.

I kept the the original manual and advertising booklets and it appears that the older models had the clutch built into the gear box and as soon as you lifted the saw assemble out of the cut log it shut the saw off.

Let's see if I can answer the questions posed here: The engine is a 5 HP Acadia engine with an ignitor for ignition. It is two cycle and direct connected to the driveshaft and propeller. To reverse the boat you flip a switch that kills the battery. While the engine is slowing down you retard the timing with the timing lever. When it is just about to stop rotating you fill the switch and if all goes right it will kick against compression and reverse direction. If it doesn't go right you run into the dock. We did get pretty good at changing engine direction. The previous owner had put the outboard on the back of the boat. We will be removing it first chance we get. We controlled the speed mostly by adjusting the throttle in the carburetor. Moving the timing lever didn't seem to change the speed much. Arnie, I think I need to get a few more hours of running under my belt before we set sail on the Mississippi. :-) Bo, yes, JB has a great event, we've been to it twice. Hopefully next year we can take Putt Putt to Louisiana. If anyone has additional questions please let me know.

Fair Warning, LOL. I need to talk to a good ford mechanic if we have any on the list. I need to run through some ideas. Its in the van I just got to replace the Hawkins Machine I lost in the wreck nearly three weeks ago. . Its had all new plugs, rotor and cap, fuel filter and now I know its throwing a code 33 as I bought a code reader today for the old ones. OBD 1 . . Heres the rest. I knew this when I got it but Its got a bad stumble at all rpms. Idle, light acceleration and at speed. Seems to not stumble under hard acceleration. Goes pretty good. It is throwing a 33 EGR code. After several hours of cussing and misery in the sun and heat I checked out the EGR as best I could and finally tore it all out. One cuss of a job. Not an easy job considering where its buried. All parts check out. I have 5 V power to the solenoid switch on, Continuity of the solenoid windings. No vacuum at idle. The EGR valve itself works as it should but I have an egr code and the stumbling. Maybe the two are not related? In either case its throwing a 33. I am starting to think I might have a bad computer. So if anyone is very familiar with these beasts please help. At least just running through some ideas. I am going back out now to reassemble. If I could just get the stumble to go away I would not give a hoot about the 33 . Will try to check the timing chain tomorrow.

Old Ford 5.8 liter 351 Windsor Engine Problems Message-ID: <702b9012.3e22d8.13fea730d68.Webtop.49@charter.net> Mark, check ignition timing, probably should be 10 degrees with the "spout" disconected, the spout is spark out, a wire, usualy near the distributor, some are an inline connector, some have a gray plastic shunt that you pull, brings it down to base timing. The 5 volts is on the egr sensor, not the solenoid, it's on top of the egr valve. Three wires, one should be 5 volts, one ground, the other is signal return, I believe .5 volts on this one, some of the early ones were 1 volt. If the voltage is high, you can grind a little off of the punger to lower it, if it's low I squeeze the very tip of the plunger in the vise to make it longer. The EGR valves build up carbon on the seat, lifting it and showing high voltage when it should be seeing closed voltage, it will set a code, usually won't affect running much. Map sensors are critical on these, you need a hertz meter to check it, I have one on my Fluke, it's been a long time since I checked one, seems like 159 to 160 here, were just a few feet above sea level, there are charts that will give the specs for the baro reading. Be sure the vacuum hose ot it is open, if it's colapsed or clogged it will stumble because the sensor isn't reading vacuum drop quick enough, if you can find a sensor it's easy enough to just try one. Fuel pressure, guessing 34 psi on this one, I can look it up tomorrow. Try unplugging the O2 sensor, see if ti runs better that way. If I think of anything else I will let you know. J.B.

The stumbling means something is wrong, but probably not in the EGR valve. If you hold a steady RPM of about 1500+, the valve should open - that's just a 'guess test" My first guess is one of the hard vacuum lines has developed a crack. Unfortunately, the process of doing a through check requires a manual and can't be summarized in an e-mail. ALSO - do an engine running code check, something may come up there.

Didn't the 351W have a problem wit sloppy timing chains? I seem to remember there was something in one of the trades about chain stretch causing timing shift. -- Steve W.

Still trying to understand the procedure of the running test. I suck at understanding written instruction but I can catch demonstration instantly. The problem with written instruction is its written by people intimately familiar with the procedure so important minor details get glossed over. But I will try to do it tomorrow. I do remember Ford is great for using the fiber or plastic timing gear and it likes to wear along with chain stretch. I plan to do a chain and gear set on it as soon as I get the other problems ironed out. I am going to investigate the EGR solenoid tomorrow. It may have a leak. If the EGR is not opening due to not enough vacuum from the solenoid at higher rpm the timing is then wrong for the resulting mix of combustion gas. This could create the P I Ping I am hearing under acceleration. If the solenoid is leaking it would also explain the stumble. Will have to check it out. My poor old 93 had 260K on it and running strong. I had planned to take it to at least 300. But the inner body was getting really rough.

Old Ford 5.8 liter 351 Windsor Engine Problems Message-ID: <20130724050304.68C62AA2F@smtp.wcoil.com> Hi All, The diagnosis is in. The final solution was the PCM ( Powertrain Control Module ) was at fault. A capacitor was bad on the board. I repaired the board with a new capacitor of the correct rating and reinstalled the computer to find a great running engine. No more stalling bucking stumbling or spark knock. The only absolute problems was the fuel filter and the computer. You can see the repair at my face book. Thank You to all who replied!! The support of the list is great.
