    Alternator adjustment bracket

    Your going to need some more brackets. Look at 8n parts on this site and check out the electrical system section, there are several different mounts and top brackets for 8Ns. I think you need the one that bolts to the right front corner of the head. Search Google and also look at YouTube videos...

    Simpson analog multi meters?

    When I was in vo-tech school in the late seventies when I began radio and tv repair, the instructor explained to us not to use the Simpson VOMS to troubleshoot tube circuits (which were right at their extinction level in tv and radio) as they were low(20Kohm per volt) impedance meters and to use...

    Oil coming out of dipstick tube, oil fill tube smoking

    I named my ‘51 8N “Smokey” after I got it running.That thing starts emitting smoke out the breather within 20 seconds. I poured a whole bottle of MMM in the oil after valve job but Smokey’s rings are so shot that you can turn the engine over just by tugging on the fan blades. I could rock the...

    John Deere 80.

    Replaced the PTO assembly in our 560 years ago and that thing was heavy. Strapped it onto a floor jack and wrangled it in there. I thought that was an Ertl pony in the background and then noticed the exhaust stack, air cleaner and lift handle and realized it was the real thing.

    Tractor Seat Recommendation

    I just checked tractorseats.com and they have a replacement for my 5105. I bought one from seatwharehouse before they closed down and it is better than the original. Too bad they closed. A slip on seat cover makes them last longer too.

The technology boom was getting into full swing, the music business was exploding with new bands and sounds in...
