    Does my cam follower pin look ok?

    I did manage to get the control quadrant hub off today...thanks for the help. The cam follower pin has been replaced. Now I just need to fix the draft control linkage part and hopefully I'll be ready to put it back together and do some adjusting.

    Does my cam follower pin look ok?

    Anybody know what the proper name of that linkage is? The one that is part of the draft control. I've looked on Yesterday's Tractors and don't see it listed new.

    Does my cam follower pin look ok?

    Thanks on all accounts. I'll see if I can straighten or replace the link. On the other linkage I'm trying to disassemble. I'll keep being patient. Can I persuade a bit by pushing on the shaft with a bras punch toward the inboard side? Oh...I bet not because the key won't allow movement...

    Does my cam follower pin look ok?

    Next question. As I try to disassemble the linkage, I'm having a hard time trying to get the link with the cam follower pin out. I believe I need to remove the control lever hub, but before I break something, I wanted to ask. Mine's stuck on there pretty good. I've got it soaking in some...

    Does my cam follower pin look ok?

    As I attempt to disassemble the linkage so I can remove and replace the cam follower pin, I have run into a couple things I thought I'd ask about here. First off...is this linkage supposed to be bent like this, or should it be straight? This is looking at the top cover from below. The rod...

    Does my cam follower pin look ok?

    I did find a new pin at the local New Holland Dealer. I went out to the barn (12 miles from bed) the other night to disassemble the linkage so I could replace the pin. But it was too darn cold. Warmer weather is arriving, so I should be able to replace it soon. Can't say I'm "proud" of...

    Does my cam follower pin look ok?

    Hey folks, I've had my 8N for a couple years now. The hydraulics have "worked" all along, but they always bleed off after about 10 minutes and the lift has never gone as high as it should. I did some googleresearch and am in the process of replacing the lift cylinder and piston (the old...

    Brush Hog fit on my 8N, have a look, please

    Exactly as I mentioned. Your arms seem to be closer matched to the angle of the fender. Again, I do expect I need to repair my hydraulic system. It's just a matter of digging in there and figuring it out and getting it done. Thanks, Clem

    Brush Hog fit on my 8N, have a look, please

    I want to clarify that only the first photo I posted is in the full up position. The second post (second and third photo in the thread) are NOT full "UP" position. This may already be clear to some...but I just wanted to clarify. Here is "full up" (which still does not look as high as R...

    Brush Hog fit on my 8N, have a look, please

    That is really cool. I'd appreciate a good photo (several, actually, if you still have it) and any info you can provide. Within the month, I'll have access to a full welding/fabrication shop, so I can hopefully replicate the proper setup for this. If you don't mind, I might ask for some basic...

    Brush Hog fit on my 8N, have a look, please

    I expect this could be an issue. I'm pretty sure my pump is in need of an overhaul. It'll drop after just a few minutes with a load on it. I do, however, think that is the max height of the arms with or without a load...so maybe I just have a bad adjustment or hodgepodge of parts on my 3...

    Brush Hog fit on my 8N, have a look, please

    If that is the case, I'll probably lower the two bottom link attachment pins and fabricate a new fixed top link to tie in with the existing top link support (which will also be lower) Is there a standard spacing/dimension for top-to-bottom links on Category 1 equipment? Or does it vary by...

    Yes there is an ORC on the tractor.

    Brush Hog fit on my 8N, have a look, please

    Here are a couple of shots of it on the limiter chains. As you can see, the lift arms aren't too far below the top position as in the photos above. This is as low as I'd really want to run the brush hog...so It seems I should want to be able to raise it a little higher. My only...
