    high compression

    Thanks for your input. Interesting comments. Whatever caused the excess is just going to the buyer as is. There should not be any problems only a more powerful engine. Thanks again.

    high compression

    I need some input from you 8N scholars. I bought an 8N from a guy that bought it from some lady where it had sat in her barn for around 20 years. He put on a carburetor, battery, etc. He put it for sale. I saw it and he cranked it and it ran well. I bought it for a rebuild project. No...

    Low Compression rebuilt engine

    Replies. Rings were set properly. Engine ran an hour or so. Engine was hot, plugs removed so engine would spin faster. Valves were ok. Only ground and set them. Sleeve went in with only a hand push. Had to use plenty of sleeve retainer to secure them. I did not bore the sleeve. If I had...

    Engine knock. solved

    On 11/4/21 I requested assistance from the forum with knock in engine after it was rebuilt, engine knock. I found the culprit. The rod on no. 4 was oversized for some reason. I put in another old rod and cap, torque to 40 lb. Noted a slight more effort in rotating the engine with hand...

    Engine knock.

    I may have found the source of the knock. I pulled the head, manifold and valve covers. When I spin the engine with the hand crank the intake valve on no. 4 was making a must louder noise than the others. Oddly enough it was knock sound. I stuck a tool under it when up and noise stopped...

    8N shared sump

    If you drained all three plugs your ok. I've done that and it works ok. Put your finger in the larger drain holes and see it there is a great deal of sludge and grim there. If so, take off your gear shift plate and you use a pressure and remove a great deal of it in the transmission base.

    9N transmission noise

    Jack up the tractor and put it on jack stands. That way you can crank it and sit next to tractor and can listen and can tell if it's Sherman, transmission or hydrolic pump.

    transmission shims

    I found it. Apparently one of the bearings (front or back) was not seated completely. I removed all shim and tighten the cap and it pressed the bearings into place. Torque is find now with three shims. Thanks for input.

    transmission shims

    I had a bad bearing in the transmission so decided to replace all bearings an bearing cups. All is fine until installing the rear bearing retainer on the mainshaft. I have used all available shims I have which totals over 1/8 in - 3mm. It takes this much to for it to move required torque...

    transmission noise

    I have an 8N and I have question. With tractor running it has a roar, like a bad bearing. It only does this with clutch released. Mass clutch and it's quite. Thought it was throw-out bearing and replaced. Is there a bearing in the tranny that fails?

    BRAKE DRUM SCREW RETAINER

    Does anyone know a way to remove the retainer screw (4) in the brake drum on an 8N. Tried to chisel to loosen. Used torch an chisel - no luck. Finally drilled and used an extractor bit. That was work to do 8. Was told to weld Nut on screw face and wrench off. There must be a simpler way...

    I acquired an old 8n engine that was all to pieces, parts in box. I decided to put in together. Put in new sleeves, pistons, etc. Had the crank turned. 20 on mains and 30 on rods. Installed crank and bearings properly. Torqued mains to 100. Would not turn. Installed 3 thousand shims on...
