    Dearborn/Danuser 22-11 drive shaft

    The important part is around the 3 minute mark. Basically the telescoping arms were cut off just after the link that connects each arm to the lift arms. They also reversed the arms and welded the telescoping part to the fixed part. They then put category I pins in the lift arm links so you can...

    Dearborn/Danuser 22-11 drive shaft

    I was browsing today and stumbled across this conversion, I think this is the route I’ll go.

    Dearborn/Danuser 22-11 drive shaft

    Resurrecting my old post here... Finally got back around to this auger. Got the extension arms freed up pretty easily by chaining the auger to a barn post and chaining the end of the arm to the tractor. The tube was full of old grease, dirt, water, and rust, so it was just stuck with gunk. With...

    What's this doohickey?

    Ok, you gave me some keywords there. I found an informative doc on n tractors about drawbar attachments and found out that my “plumb bob” is indeed the pin for the swinging drawbar bracket, and I also realized some other mystery arms that came with the tractor are the drawbar stabilizers that...

    Is there a decent way to get this tire off a bad rim?

    So you’re giving me (another) reason to want a backhoe? 😀

    What's this doohickey?

    Here’s a side view. This 8N has a bracket below the PTO that looks like it would fit this, and the “plumb bob” looks like it would be the appropriate pin for it too.

    What's this doohickey?

    What kinds of attachments use this kind of hitch? Is it very common?

    Is there a decent way to get this tire off a bad rim?

    This tire isn't terribly old and has minimal weather checking, but the rim is all rust jacked and leaks fluid from who knows where. I'm not sure if the rim itself is full of fluid or if the tube has a small leak, as it takes a while for it to visibly air down but there's always a puddle wherever...

    What all gaskets/seals do I need when I get into the three point lever?

    The cork(?) gasket behind my three point lever is dried out, so the handle has a tendency to flop down randomly unless you have it fully vertical. I started taking it apart the other day but realized that I might need some additional parts to fix it correctly. It looks like there's a rubber...

    What's this doohickey?

    I inherited a pile of random tractor parts, implements, and accessories with my Ford 8N, and I think I understand most of them. But this one in particular has me stumped. It looks like some sort of quick attach mechanism, but I only have one, and I don't know what it would work with. I assume...

    Debating if a SoS is worth the “risk” for loader work

    Great advice here. The thing is, I'm not running a big farm operation or doing commercial work. I would be getting a loader for occasional use moving whatever around a 5 acre property, with only occasional dirt work. I feel like an old school loader would be fine for this. Basically I'm trading...

    Debating if a SoS is worth the “risk” for loader work

    I’m curious, what’s the issue with the sweep back axle on the 800 series?

    Debating if a SoS is worth the “risk” for loader work

    Great comments, thanks. I’m not doing commercial loader work or anything, but it does sound like a gearbox would be a better choice in my price range. Hydrostatic is definitely not in the budget at this moment!

    Debating if a SoS is worth the “risk” for loader work

    I’m looking at getting something with a loader, I’ve found several 600 and 800 series tractors with loaders and manual gearboxes, and I also found an 1801 with a nice loader an a select o speed. It seems to me that the SoS would be a nice upgrade for back and forth loader work and a local...

    Going crazy with ignition problems

    My only experience before this was a 9N with a very worn engine and it required a decent amount of choke, even after you got it started, before it was happy enough to stay running without choke.
