    Ferguson/Dearborn Single Disc Harrow

    I have a Lift Type Single Disc Harrow,11-1 - 11-3, for which I need a few parts. Specifically, a lower bearing cap 110039, an upper bearing left end cap 111612, and a bumper plate 110032. Does anyone know where they could be found?

    Steering Problem

    Thanks to all, I had the acorn nut off for steering box work years ago and I'll handle that when I get back from a trip. Hobo and Den N have put my mind at ease, I think your diagnosis makes great sense and hits the nail on the head. I've used corn head grease in the box for years and since I...

    Steering Problem

    1948 8n. After making a turn, it felt as though the steering wheel came loose. The steering wheel turns with a clicking sound but is ineffective in turning the steering or sector shafts. It sounds and feels as through it is moving over splines on the steering shaft, or broken a woodruff key...

    Dearborn Disc Harrow 11-3 Wood Bearings

    Yeah, that seems to be the only way to go. I'm 90 miles away for the disc though so I hoped perhaps someone may have it.

    Dearborn Disc Harrow 11-3 Wood Bearings

    Does anyone have the dimensions of the wood bearings used in the lift type Dearborn Disc Harrows? I have a model 11-3 that needs all bearings replaced.

    Starter Question

    I have a 1948 8N. Last spring I bought a new starter with drive from this site. For the past few days, when I first engage the starter, it turns over very slowly at first (while making a lot of noise)and after cranking for about 5 seconds it speeds up to normal cranking speed and then starts...

    Draft Control

    I had the same issue a few months ago. It was the quadrant adjustment - see 151 in the FO-4 manual and photographs FO135-137. If you have time, I'd get a "Zane Thang" as I will next go around. I got lucky and it was a simple adjustment. Afterward, I recalled that a rope had been looped around...

    Pipe Joint Compound on Sediment Bowl Assy?

    I used a product called Seal-All. It worked very well. I had to remove the assembly about three weeks later and the sealant came off easily and I used more to re-install. No leaks. It's relatively cheap. I even used it to fix a crack on the bottom of an old gas tank for an outboard motor...

    OT Copper Wire

    Dunk: do you know how copper wire was invented? It was from two lawyers fighting over a penny!

    Draft Control - 1948 8N

    Now it all makes sense. I've wondered what the jig was for but having never messed with this before I wasn't certain where it figured in! Thanks Zane.

    Draft Control - 1948 8N

    My draft control quit working (lever in the horizontal position), but when I push down on the lever further as Zane once suggested, it lifts just fine. I removed the lift cover and adjusted the draft control spring which, according to the specs, was close to 1/8" too long. My question is this...

    8n eating bendix gears

    Check to see that the shaft on your starter is not bent. That happened to mine when a ring gear was torn up.
