    Atlantic Parts Quality

    I just purchased an axle for an 8N. The axle would not fit into the differential....a few thousandth off. To make it worse, I did not check the fit before having the bearing pressed on. Junk.

    8N Axle Threads

    I went to torque my axle nuts (following a seal rebuild) and I think one side may be stripped. I bought a different style nut (Wheel Clamp Lock Nut) from Steiner. Have any of you used this and can you provide some advice? I really don't want to tear into this thing again, I've got mowing to...

    48 8n Wheel Won't Turn After Repair

    48 8n Wheel Won't Turn After Repair

    I just replaced axle seals and hubs on my 8n. Installed axle nut and tightened (haven't torqued all the way to 450 ft-lbs yet) and the wheel doesn't want to turn. If I back off the axle nut a bit, it will turn. It appears I've compressed the inner rubber axle seal against the bearing? Has...
