    2N Manifold Stud Removal Help

    All, thank you! There's some variation here, but I see common threads - a lot of heat and a lot of patience.

    2N Manifold Stud Removal Help

    I’m just west of Fort Worth TX. I suspect there are several shops in the area. I just haven’t looked yet. There’s a reasonable fair chance my car club contacts would know of some. The studs are intact so there won’t be a problem gripping them. I don’t have a welder to weld a nut on the ends...

    2N Manifold Stud Removal Help

    Thanks, I see your logic and don't disagree. It's just to avoid the machine shop route I'm looking for tips on how to get them out if they don't simply back out. In my mind it's heat, maybe tapping the sides when they cool, and at some point maybe penetrating oil. Maybe even more than one round...

    2N Manifold Stud Removal Help

    Folks, I need to remove at least two of the manifold studs on a 2N. The threads at the manifold end are so deteriorated I can’t torque the nuts enough to seal the gaskets. What I’m looking for are recommendations/suggestions on how to remove those studs without breaking them. My fear is I’ll...

    At 71 years old, just doing the sure seals correctly, on this tractor, will be a repair that outlasts me.

    Questions on Axle Sure Seal Removal, and Axle Housing Ga

    Thanks guys. I need to think through this. This started out as project to pretty up the son-in-law's tractor. Up until a few years ago it was a working tractor, helping to manage several hundred acres of land. Now it's used for seasonal displays. I doubt it sees as much as 20 operating hours...

    Questions on Axle Sure Seal Removal, and Axle Housing Ga

    Folks, With much gratitude to this forum, I was able to get a very stubborn rear wheel off a '47 2N and pull the axle. To my surprise it already has an axle sure seal installed. Since the brakes are saturated, and there are numerous punch marks on the seal's flat surface, it needs to be...

    2N Left Rear Wheel Stuck

    Thank you, sir. It appears I'm on the right path. I have been using a 2x4 and small jack as a spreader bar, overnight, between the wheels. My thinking was a little pressure couldn't hurt. I didn't want to overdo it and damage the bearings. Don't know if that's a reasonable worry or not. Bill

    2N Left Rear Wheel Stuck

    Hi All, I'm new to old tractors and this forum. When looking for a winter project I offered to paint my son-in-law's '47 2N. Paint is being delayed for badly brakes and axle seals. With that, I'm not able to free the left wheel. I've seen videos of beating the tire with a sledgehammer and...
