    Air pressure of rear tires with calcium chloride -12-14 lbs?

    A while back, I thought i saw a thread about the proper inflation pressure for tires loaded with calcium chloride. I believe it said 12-14 lbs. Can anyone confirm this? One tire on my 1948 8N is low after sitting for the winter, and i don't want to overfill it. Thank you,

    How big an air compressor to fill rear tires on 8n?

    Hi, all. Thought I posted this a few minutes ago, but don't see it on the board. Can anyone give me an idea how big an air compressor I'd need to fill the rear tires on my '49 8N? Thanks.

    just an observation

    My '48 does not have headlights, either. I do like the look, so maybe one day I'll add them.

    Plowing done - first time ever!

    Thank you all for the feedback. I appreciate the technical advice. My plow is a 16" Dearborn Economy moldboard plow, with both a colter and a rolling landside. It sat for a long, long time before I bought it, so I haven't been able to free up all the adjustments yet. We've had a lot of rain...

    Plowing done - first time ever!

    This is part of the field behind my house. Never plowed before, lovely Timothy hay, but there's a spring running underneath. The farmer who owns the field doesn't hay it anymore, so he's letting me use it. I made one test pass with the plow - had to adjust the depth of cut. Cut the first...

    next (dumb) question - size of linch pins?

    Hi, all. I'd like to have extra linch pins on hand, because I lose stuff. Of course, I'm at my 'city' house now, without a linch pin, but with my nut/bolt gauge. What size linch pins are used on the 8N 3 point equipment? Thanks! julian

    Proper squence - activating PTO and hydraulic control?

    Hi, all. Sitting on my 8N today, with my reprint of the 'Ford Tractor Model 8N Operators Manual' in my lap. Sec 121(e) states, "depress the clutch pedal when engaging or disengaging the power take-off shaft when the engine is running". So, engine running, I depressed the clutch, and moved the...

    My 'new' Dearborn Lift-e disc - bought today

    A buddy of mine knew I was looking for a disc, and spotted this about 6 miles from my property. I owe him a finders fee, or a beer. Beautiful condition, and the seller delivered it to me within an hour of cash changing hands. Now I just need a cultivator.
