Description
When you’re noticing air leaks around your carburetor’s throttle shaft or dealing with an erratic idle, those old neoprene packing seals have probably hardened and cracked after decades of use. These little seals face constant temperature swings and vibration that eventually makes them fail. Fresh throttle shaft packing restores proper carburetor sealing so your engine runs smooth and maintains consistent idle speed, just like it did when it rolled off the Ford assembly line.
What You’re Getting
- Quality neoprene material that handles fuel vapors and temperature changes without hardening
- Proper sealing around the throttle shaft to prevent vacuum leaks that cause rough idle
- Direct replacement for original factory packing – no modifications needed
- Multiple seals in the package so you can service both throttle shafts if needed
Built for Real Farm Work
These seals fit the classic Ford N Series tractors – your 8N, 9N, and 2N models that are still earning their keep on farms and small properties today. Whether your tractor’s running a brush hog, pulling a hay rake, or handling loader duties around the barn, these workhorses from 1939-1952 depend on proper carburetor sealing for reliable operation during those long workdays.
Made to Last
Farm equipment needs seals that can handle the real world, and these throttle shaft packings are made from quality neoprene that resists fuel, oil, and the temperature extremes your tractor faces. Unlike cheap rubber that gets brittle after a few seasons, proper neoprene packing stays flexible and maintains its seal through years of operation.
Good to Know
Installation involves removing the carburetor and carefully working the old packing out of the throttle shaft area – take your time so you don’t damage the carburetor body. Clean the shaft and bore thoroughly before installing the new packing. A light coat of engine oil on the packing helps it seat properly and prevents tearing during assembly.
