D-17 does not like t NH baler

old · Sep 18, 2019

So I have the D-17 hook to the NH271 baler and it is giving me fits. It will run good for a bit and then start to spit and sputter. Open up carb to do a quick look see and clean out but that did not help. I did find one plug wire off which did help a bit but still not enough. So I have the carb soaking in Chem dip carb cleaner and will pull it out tomorrow and do a better clean up job. It has never given me any problem when I use it to bush hog so not sure if the shaking the baler give it has any thing to do with it.

Check the tank while you are working on it. I just cleaned mine on the Super C and found the petcock plugged solid.

Well, your equipment is old and cantankerous like me and you. Kick back--- have a brew-- take a breath, and kick arza. You are much smarter than that old tractor.------Loren

Letting the big Oliver rest?

Sounds like old gas or obstructed fuel line. If the tractor has been sitting for more than 8 weeks you should drain the gas out and put fresh in. Pull the carb drain plug and make sure you have a good steady flow of gas that will fill a pint jar in less then 3 minutes. Yes catch the gas to look for water/dirt.

My dad?s tractor was running then not running, etc. I filed the distributor points. Runs like a champ now.

I never loose spark but do loose fuel but oddly the plugs all look like it has been running rich

Fresh gas and I did drain the tank to make sure it did not have water in it. I do my trouble shooting as I tell people here to do

Super 88 has the NH850 round baler on it. I'd use the 77 but it has a bad rear tire and when it is in the 90s I do not feel like working on a tire. I may have to fire up the A/C WD45

Well it is one of the newer tractors LOL. If I did the figuring right it is a 1961. Serial number 33331. Odd thing is the plugs appear to be looking as if it is running rich but when it messes up it is not getting as much gas as it should. I have pulled the sediment bowl assembly off and cleaned it out and drain the tank and all. Maybe tomorrow it will act right once I clean the carb up a bit more. I even pulled the fuel line and blew it out. I have one windrow that is maybe 150 feet long to bale before the rains come in that they are calling for

First thing I did was pull the sediment bowl assembly out of the tank to make sure it was not the problem and the stand pipe was clean and so was the assembly.

I have a D-17 and a WD-45 Allis. Two of my favorite old tractors to use. Brings back a lot of memories of growing up on the farm in the 50"s

Bad condenser will make a tractor act like it has a fuel problem.

How is the fuel coming in from the tank? Shaking might be stirring up the rust or sediment and causing a problem. If it runs OK for awhile then starts having a problem, it could also be that the vent in the gas cap is plugged. Easy test is to see if you get air rushing into the tank if you loosen the cap when the problem starts.

Forget about the D-17 till you are done, the 584 will run that baler and pull it fine. Even with a wagon behind it. Is about the same size engine wise as the Allis.

Our club has a JD 420 that usually ran great, except when it didn't. Occasionally it would just shut off. We finally found what looks like a label from a fuel funnel floating around in the tank. End of problem.

Yes I could use the 584 or the S88 or the WD45 or the Ford 841. But each has equipment on them or have not run in a year or more. So since the D-17 is hooked up and should be easy to fix I'll fix it

Already pull the gas cap off when running and made no difference. Flow look ok but hard to tell if it is flow since you cannot run it and also have the baler spun up to see if the flow slows

Never seen a condenser go bad out of the clear blue. I have not tuned this thing up in years and has always ran well

My 350 Farmall was doing that - would run fine for while, then rough as a cob for a while then it would run OK again. Turn out my points were practically gone.

I just came in form putting the carb back together and then installing it on the tractor. Fire it up and kicked the baler in and let ti run a few minutes and it ran just like it should have so not sure if it was the carb or the fact I also cleaned out the fuel line
