    best stuff for preserving and prolonging tire life

    Talking about tractor tires ofcourse. What product is the best for keeping them from dry rot, etc. I think the Ultra Violet light is at fault for that, but what snake oil do you guys put on your used tires to make them look and feel like new.

    do sleeves need to be replaced

    Worn piston rings / sleeves dont have an affect on oil pressure. Most likely, your main and rod bearings have worn enough to reflect the drop in oil pressure. BTW.. what kind of oil pressure are you getting at operating temperature? Keep in mind, these motors have solid lifters, unlike todays...

    Rear axle nut problem

    Cutty.. I just went through the same ordeal but my whole wheel and hub came off while I was driving the tractor. The threads on the axle will strip if the hub is loose and bangs back and fourth on the nut. Previous owner said he replaced the axles seals due to oil leaking on to the brakes /...

    12v round to 12v square coil

    48 front mount 8N had a 12V conversion when I bought it. It has a round coil that is mounted on top of the cylinder head and what appears to be a hollowed out square coil on top of the distributor . I want to go with a 12v coil that mounts on top of the dist cap so I can get to plugs / wires...

    8N rear axle / seal replacement

    The other day my axle nut came loose and the left wheel and hub fell off. I towed the tractor to the driveway and began evaluating. The right side nut was loose also.
