    Herbie Horn

    Threw a VW horn on the ‘50 8N 8N with a Herbie Horn

    Drag tube lengths

    So it sounds like I got OEM and you might have got one that’s been “Farmer Browned” lol. What I’m seeing from the chart is that with the NAA rear links I need to get one 8N3314D (32-3/4”) and one 8N33315 (34-1/2”). I can’t fathom why that extra 2” makes the 8N33315 so much more expensive.

    Drag tube lengths

    So I took some measurements on what is out on my machine and referenced them against the clear as mud chart in the parts manual. They might as well have been written in cuneiform for as helpful as they are. I have a side mount 8N with 28.5” drag tubes. I’ve successfully retrofitted the front...

    supercharging an 8N?

    Me when I hook up a vacuum advance for better fuel economy at idle.

    supercharging an 8N?

    But I won’t be talked out of installing a VW meep meep horn in it. For no better reason than I have one and think it’d be funny. So keep your words of caution to yourself Sagacious Unc!

    supercharging an 8N?

    I mean my original post reviving the thread was asking about the much lower pressure smog pump theory and seeing if anyone had anything helpful to add for figuring the pulley size. I think I got one answer that specifically addressed the question. So I appreciate that. Everyone else’s words of...

    supercharging an 8N?

    When I rebuilt it at the end of winter. I should clarify that my tractor isn’t underperforming in any way. This is one of those pervasive ideas that I want to try out of an abundance of curiosity and a tinkerer’s desire to know the limits by getting right up to them.

    supercharging an 8N?

    Sorry to revive a nearly 20 year old thread, but if someone were to be ambitious enough to give it the old “college try” what pulley diameter would they aim for for the smog pump? I’m not looking necessarily for more power, but fewer instances of bogging and stalling under a heavy load. I also...

    N series valve lash adjustment after rebuild

    I honestly didn’t back them all the way out to see. It was such a frustrating day that I mostly blocked it from memory. I did find success working the bolt in and out a bit before putting the lifter in the bore to make the actual lash adjustment.

    N series valve lash adjustment after rebuild

    When I originally set the valve lash I absolutely ruined the sheet metal tappet holders. The only way I could get any movement on the adjustment screw without rounding the head was to take the valve completely out of the head and go in with a long extension to use a 6 point socket. Quite a long...

    N series valve lash adjustment after rebuild

    Sounds like I’ll add it to the 15 year PM lol. It’s developed a little cough at idle and once up to temp at about half throttle. But I suspect it’s likely an issue with the Chinesium Carb because I just can’t tune it out. Otherwise it runs good, the cooling system keeps up in the Louisiana heat...

    N series valve lash adjustment after rebuild

    I know the recommendation is to do a valve lash adjustment after a break-in period once you’ve done a valve job. My side mount 8N is probably coming up on its 50 hour mark and I’m starting to wonder if those of you who did this lash adjustment post break-in found any that actually needed...

    Got my 8n running again still issues

    You need to tune your carb. See attached (assuming you have a Marvel Schebler and not a Zenith; unlikely but calling out the possibility)
