    Right Brake pedal not engaged

    I have a 1949 front-distributer 12 volt 8N with a brake problem and could use some advice. The other day I had occasion to lift up hard on the right brake pedal. Something came loose inside and now the pedal is useless - just lies there on the step accusing me of doing something monumentally...

    Brake pedal alignment

    If there is a way to adjust the left side down, might there be a way to adjust the right side up? I'll have to check the manual. The right side is down far enough that I can't get serious brakeing on that side, so bringing the left down to match doesn't sound like a good idea. :)

    Brake pedal alignment

    I just had the brakes done by the local New Holland shop, as part of fixing the usual leaking seals. They said the pedal was bent, but I was hoping for something simpler...

    Brake pedal alignment

    I did miss that! So the pedal shaft might actually be bent then. If so, I should be able to warm it up with a torch and bend it back right? I have some asbestos sheet left over from the old days that will protect the tractor from the heat so I won't have to remove the pedal first.

    Brake pedal alignment

    The right brake pedal on my '49 8N is about two inches lower than it should be (and that much lower than the left pedal). My theory is that the joint where the pedal clamps to the camshaft slipped when a really, really BIG person stomped on it! My clever plan is to loosen that bolt at the...

    Swinging Implements

    I'm new to tractors and mindful of the messages about safety, and I have a wife who is sure my old 49 8N side-mount 12 volt is going to kill me, so I'm taking my time. I have a five foot brush hog, and had the PTO shaft safety shield replaced, leaving only the purchase of one pin so that I can...

    Willamette Valley?

    Any other N fans in the Willamette Valley Oregon? I've got my 49 near Alpine, about half way between Eugene and Corvallis. It would be great to BS about these (Bad-boys? Beauties? Works-of-art?) fine tractors in person!

    Hood attach bolts - toolbox questions

    All four bolts that attach the hood on my '49 8n are missing. I have the shop manual and see the bolts on a couple of diagrams but the sizes are not listed - does anyone know what bolts I need? Another question; there is no toolbox on my tractor - I remember two schemes for under-the hood...

    Hog driveshaft length needs adjusting.

    It turns out that the problem is with the guard that covers the driveshaft. It's not too short - it's just so beat up that it does not telescope. If I install it there is an opening at the tractor end where the spinning shaft is accessible, so I'll be replacing it before I use the mower...

    Hog driveshaft length needs adjusting.

    New guy here - just read "How do I get old hog ready?", and am in the same place; I"m just about to hook up my used 5" hog for the first time and the driveshaft does not collapse far enough to hook up. It looks to me as if the safety guard just needs about two inches trimmed off it, but is that...
