    Ford 8N wiring

    JMOR, I have looked up your diagrams and they have been a huge help and I appreciate your efforts to assist all us 8N guys greatly. My only question, in the case of my 51 8N with 12 volt conversion, is why didn’t you use the same color code as the harnesses, such as mine, that are ordered thru...

    8N Engine Code ID

    Thanks for the link. Can definitely narrow down the tractor serial number batch based on tractor characteristics with info provided. Obviously 50-52 model based just on side mount distributor. Will keep narrowing it down and work on the engine as well. Got link saved this time! Thanks!

    8N Engine Code ID

    I have had this 8N a few years now. Have photos on my page showing my splitting it in half, putting in a new flywheel, clutch, etc. Think I remember something before indicating it may be late 51 as far as engine date. If like cars would still be a 52 release year. Putting a new radiator and...

    8N Engine Code ID

    Forgot about the other location. And, of course it is different than yours. There is a 2 after the diamond that may designate the year 1952 that previous owner advised. Just wish there was a serial number. Photo is what is behind starter. Thanks!

    8N Engine Code ID

    Can anyone break down this engine code for me or provide a link to do so. Hopefully saving hours of research time. I believe this to be a replacement engine since there is no serial number on the left side of engine at the usual place. Believe my 8N to be a 52 based just on previous owner...

    Splitting tractor method

    Welding Man you are correct, that is him! Joe is in Renick and I am in Marlinton. I had called him and got directions never being there before. When I drove in I said to myself, OMG it is a shade tree mechanic! Boy was I wrong! I walked down a narrow trail thru the weeds to an open door into...

    Splitting tractor method

    [size=18:54835d17e9][/size:54835d17e9] Just an update ref Splitting the Tractor. Thanks for all the suggestions. I did the Lifting of the Steering Gear Method instead of taking the hood and gas tank off. Worked just fine. Jacked it up just enough to clear the battery box lower mounting holes...

    Splitting tractor method

    I may need to remove the hood if I need to replace the timing gear gasket. Usually everytime I look I see something that could be done. But, it is also an 8N and it has all worked this long. "If working leave it alone" I think is a good rule with this tractor! Thanks for info!

    Splitting tractor method

    Thank you for the info. Thought it was a good approach if no other work needed to be done up front. Thanks!

    Splitting tractor method

    Thank you for some good information! This is what I will do after I look up front a little more and see if I need to do something up there. May have to put a gasket on the timing gear housing, may be a leak coming from there. If no leak I will do just what you said. Thanks!!

    Splitting tractor method

    Thanks for the info. I think that is the general rule that the shortcut is easier unless there is other work to be done up front. Thanks!

    Splitting tractor method

    Have all the original manuals and the Ford/Haynes manual from Tractor Supply. The traditional method to split the engine is to remove the hood and gas tank. In the Haynes manual it states you do not have to do that. You can lift up the steering gear enough to clear without removing the hood...
