Description

If your old Ford tractor is running rough or won’t stay choked when cold, a worn choke shaft seal might be the culprit. This little felt packing sits around the choke shaft where it goes through the carburetor body, keeping air from sneaking in where it shouldn’t. When it’s worn out, you’ll get erratic idle, hard starting, or the choke won’t hold properly—problems that can make those cold morning starts a real headache.

What You’re Getting

Precise replacement felt that seals the choke shaft opening properly
Dense, oil-resistant material that handles carburetor heat and fuel vapors
Easy installation—just remove the old packing and press in the new piece
Direct replacement for the original Ford factory part

Built for Real Farm Work

This felt packing fits all Ford N-series tractors from 1939 through 1964, including the popular 2N, 8N, and 9N models. These workhorse tractors are still running strong on farms and homesteads everywhere, handling everything from brush hogging to hay work. The Marvel-Schebler carburetors on these tractors were simple and reliable, but like any 60-plus-year-old machine, they need attention to keep running right.

Made to Last

Quality felt packing material resists fuel, oil, and the heat cycles that come with carburetor operation. This isn’t just any felt—it’s made specifically for carburetor applications where it needs to maintain its seal while allowing the choke shaft to move smoothly.

Good to Know

Installation is straightforward—remove the choke shaft, clean out the old felt, and install the new packing. A thin coat of light grease helps it seat properly and keeps the choke operating smoothly. While you’ve got the carburetor apart, it’s a good time to check the other small parts that might need attention.
