    Tech Question Early 8N Rear Axle Side Seals

    Lots of good advice. I had checked with the autparts stores and they didn't go that high. I will try the cheater bar and my more then 200 pound weight with a bounce to finish the job. Thanks!

    Tech Question Early 8N Rear Axle Side Seals

    I just hate to buy one as this will probably be the only time I get to use it. I don't mind buying tools when I need them but would rather the $$ went to a nice mig welder instead. Much more needed tool.

    Tech Question Early 8N Rear Axle Side Seals

    I have a leaking outer seal on the right side. Read the nice write up found on a link here. Read the manual. Everything seems within my abilities as a shade tree mechanic without a lot of courage, except for one thing. That is the the spec calling for 450 foot pounds of torque on the axle...

    Mower Deck Size

    Well we ordered the Land Pride FDR1672. Would have liked the Woods but the price differential was too great for the budget. Thanks one and all for your input, it has been very valuable to me.

    Mower Deck Size

    Can I ask what your issue with Land Pride was?

    Mower Deck Size

    I think it is a little over 600 pounds. We do a 5 foot bushhog type mower without too much trouble. Only thing is it is kind of pushy on grades. After trying it the first time I realized the wisdom of the ORC.

    Mower Deck Size

    We are mowing weekly. No irrigation on the grass. Grass is not thick nor is it allowed to get tall. I presume the rear discharge is lower HP requirement then our current side discharge King Kutter. :D Thanks to everyone for your input. a bigger mower deck will help us speed things along.

    Mower Deck Size

    I have a 1952 8N. We are in the process of buying a new finish mower deck. Narrowed down to Land Pride or Woods brand. I had been planning on getting a 60 inch deck. The Woods people claim that I can run their deck on this tractor with their 72 inch model. That seems big to me but is the...

    Chosing Finish Mower Deck-Land Pride vs Kodiak vs ????

    Ok one last question. I had been planning to get a 60 inch mower deck. The local Ford dealer states that the biggest Land Pride we can get should be a 60 inch deck and not to go to the 72" deck. The local Woods dealer states that for our tractor (Ford 8N), that the Woods can go to 72" and not...

    Chosing Finish Mower Deck-Land Pride vs Kodiak vs ????

    With the 8N I was looking at the FDR 1660. We have a 60" mower now and the tractor seems to handle that well. Being from Kansas and the Land Pride being made here is also a plus! :) In looking at the Woods and First Choice the dealer options are best for Land Pride with 4 or 5 dealers...

    Chosing Finish Mower Deck-Land Pride vs Kodiak vs ????

    There are no Land Prides in town to look at but I did go look at the Kodiak. I think it would be ok but it has chains on the back that the Land Pride doesn't. I also haven't found any manuals or instructions on the Kodiak. The Land Prides are on line and very helpful. They both have the same...

    Chosing Finish Mower Deck-Land Pride vs Kodiak vs ????

    Hi, We have an old King Kutter finish mower deck which is about shot. It is also probably not a good fit for our property as we have a few stumps and rocks around but we do need a nice finish to the grass. We do have a bush hog for the really bad areas but I would like a recommendation for...

    8N Hydaulic Arms Lock Up Problem Solved

    I don't think anyone would do it on purpose. But it does get bent up frequently.

    8N Hydaulic Arms Lock Up Problem Solved

    I had to do this repair early this spring on our 8N. When I pulled it apart there was just a fleck of dirt in the valve causing it to stick. What I found curious was the amount of sludge in the sump under the rear differential. I spent a lot of time and got very dirty removing the stuff by...

    Rebuilding Distributor, Side Mount 8N Question

    In case anyone cares to know I got the rest of the parts for the distributor Friday and I finished rebuilding it today. Having never rebuilt a distributor or retimed a motor after pulling a distributor I now have it all back together. I am very happy to report that she purrs like a kitten and...
