    8N Fuel Trouble

    My spark tester is one of the adjustable type. So I spent some time on the tractor today and found that the fuel flow out the bottom of the carb would fill a pint jar in under 2mins, nice steady flow. While running the tractor I found that if I gave it about 1/4 choke wile it was surging it...

    8N Fuel Trouble

    It is a front dizzy 12 volt system I went through and redid the entire ignition system last weekend. cleaned plugs and set gap , wires, cap, rotor, points, set points, new coil and ballast resistor. I have an inline spark tester, all wires show good spark. I didn't have time...

    8N Fuel Trouble

    I am slowly working on redoing all the systems back to the way they are ment to be. This week I endeavored to redo the fuel system. my tractor had the sediment bowl for something else installed on it and a duel line that was comprised of copper, rubber, an additional fuel filter and an extra...

    8N-Nuts N Bolts

    In the parts catalog that I got for my 8N there was an entire section the specified the various fasteners. I didn't spend a ton of time going over it but I appeared to show the design and specs for each type of fastener. It is the master parts catalog for our tractors 1939-1953.

    Blue 8N

    The bottom coat of paint on my 49 8N is blue also. I figure someone stripped it down at some point and gave it the blue treatment. then some else put it back to red. It is part of the fun of these things in my opinion, quite a lot has happened to these tractors over 60+ years, it adds to...

    New 8N update

    That does sound like a good idea. I don't have any real work to do with this tractor. I just have a affinity for old iron. I am looking to put the mechanicals back to the way ford did it, or as close as I can without spending 3 times what it is worth. I plan to run it in some parades when...

    New 8N update

    I am interested, where are you located? I have found a guy not to far from me that has a "junkyard" of these tractors. He has hubs for $20 a side. seems like a good price. I bet shipping the hubs would cost that much.

    New 8N update

    After quite a bit of digging, and with some info folks on this forum provided I have figured that it is a late 48-49. the steering sector, dash layout, and castings all point to this. the engine serial number says it was made in mid 1950 ( 8N-B casting mark on the block). when the engine was...

    New 8N update

    I Got the opportunity to get some better pictures of my tractor over the weekend and thought i would share them. I got some time to start cleaning her up over the weekend. I have only 2 small leaks, one at the governor oil line that won't quit even after tightening ( i suspect...

    New 8N owner

    That's great advise.. I actually bought all of the manuals before i picked up the tractor. I have spent quite a bit of time going over the 75 tips. my long term plan is to get all of the mechanicals sorted out just the way i want them. once that is completed i will break it down for a paint...

    New 8N owner

    As to the history of the 8N here is what i found; 1) the block has the 8N-B casting mark making it a mid 50's production engine that should have a side distributor 2) The dash has just a ammeter and oil pressure gauge 3) I have the old style steering sector 4) I found a date on the...
