    Ford 1500 4wd front tire size question

    What's your source for that information? TractorData website has this: Which does not match what is on the tractor. Hence my confusion. Ford 1500 Tires 2WD Ag front 4.00-12 4WD Ag front 6.00-14 Ag rear 9.5-24

    Ford 1500 4wd front tire size question

    I have a Ford 1500 4WD with really bad dry rotted front tires. It has 6-14 tires on it now, but tractor data states that they should be 6.00-14 which are about 2" taller and narrower. I think that either will fit the rims, but I would like to get the correct size to avoid any mismatch with...

    uhaul car transport for 8N

    I am thinking about buying another 8N as a parts tractor. It has no compression on cylinders 2 & 3 and from what I have read here that probably is a head gasket. Plugs looked like they had wet mud on them too so that seems reasonable. Anyway, it won't start, I was thinking that I need...

    Ugly 8N followed me home (pics)

    The fourth category is where mine fell when I got it. Looks rough and does not run at all.

    can you turn 8n brake drums?

    Can you turn the brake drums from an 8N? Brakes were in really sad shape on the tractor I am working on. One of the drums is grooved pretty good. There is an auto skills shop on base where I work that will turn drums and rotors for $5 each. There equipment is for auto's of course, but I...

    underbelly drawbar

    Just noticed today that my tractor has an underbelly drawbar. What is this typically used for? I'd like to be able to pull a small trailer that has a ball, but I can't see a good way to make this work. Would the floating drawbar be a better option for this?

    rear axle wear and seal questions

    I am working on a '52 8N tractor that was given to me. It has a major rear axle seal leak so I decide to tear into it and see what all it needs. I have read the good write up here, http://www.oldfordtractors.com/rep.htm#q15 and have some questions that I need help with. The axle has both...
