    Newly Restored 8N

    Thank you to everyone else for the kind words! This is the first tractor I've ever played a part in restoring and it's come out looking good (for what it is). I've got a '54 NAA in terrible shape which needs an engine rebuild and a paint job, plus a 930 Case in need of cosmetic and mechanical...

    Newly Restored 8N

    In terms of prep work, I believe the old paint was sanded off and/or scuffed, and the new paint sprayed on. Not sure how many coats, Pap did this during the heat of the quarantine and I tried to stay away. Luckily the red was in pretty good shape and only needed a few touch-ups. You're sure...

    Newly Restored 8N

    Thank you Bruce! I believe Pap used the TISCO Dark Grey but I can certainly check it out next time I'm at his house. And believe me, I sure wish I'd gotten some more before pictures as well. We picked it up and brought it to his house and I didn't think anything of it, then went back to...

    Newly Restored 8N

    Thank you both for the kind words! Yes, Pap (grandpa) was very concerned with getting the correct "dark grey" paint which would have been original to the tractor. I can't quite remember, as it was a while back. Something regarding shims or something inside the box, the tractor would barely...

    Newly Restored 8N

    I should also add that the tractor did need some work before its cosmetic fix up. We needed a new steering box, replaced rotor, cap, wires, and plugs, new sediment bowl, fuel lines, and carburetor. Also, despite my misgivings about it, the tractor retains its original 6 volt, positive ground...

    Newly Restored 8N

    Take a look at my grandpa's quarantine project: a "quick and dirty" restoration of a 1952 8N. I wish we had snapped some pictures when we first got the tractor but alas, we forgot. Some things that I do remember: -incorrectly colored seat -faded "light grey" paint looked almost white -front...

    Memoirs of an Oliver 77

    I wrote this back in high school and found it today. Figured you Oliver guys would like to read it, so here goes: Memoirs of an Oliver 77 I m pretty sure one of my first words, if not my first word, was "tractor". With a childhood like mine, how could anyone have expected anything...

    930 3pt hitch issues

    Loren - thank you for the help. It's good to have a place to start. I'll get to removing the seat and floor panels ASAP. If its the DOM control valve hopefully its not screwed up too badly - if not I'll post a picture of the leak in progress and we'll go from there. Evan

    930 3pt hitch issues

    Loren- thank you for the reply. I’d hate to contradict, but I’ve seen it leak multiple times. Every time the tractor is running hyd oil streams out both sides of the rock shaft (if those are the two arms mounted underneath the fuel tank that control 3 pt hitch movement). Both LH and RH of...

    930 3pt hitch issues

    My 930 case has a pretty bad hydraulic leak right around the point where the 3pt arms go into the side of the tractor. Hydraulic fluid pours down the side of the tractor in a steady stream anytime it’s running. Has anyone disassembled the 3pt hitch assembly and seen what’s inside? Are there...

    Farmall F12 carburetor

    Hey all. My grandads got a ‘33 F12 with The Waukesha engine. You know, the one with the odd carburetor? Well i could really use everyone’s help here to help me find one. The one on the tractor has cracks in it and a piece of the Venturi is broken off. It’s hashed out. I’d really like to get...

    My 930 Case

    Well I found the picture from when NOVA turf went to the RFK stadium. I also got to talk to the guy who ran the tractor the most when it was at the farm. He told me the story of that day. They brought all the equipment to D.C. via semi trucks, along with all the sod they were laying. They...

    My 930 Case

    Under the black stripe is painted "NOVA Turf Farm". That's the farm my grandpa worked for. His boss told me the story of why he painted that on there - sometime in the 90s (I'm not too sure when) NOVA turf got the contract to lay turf at RFK stadium, so that tractor traveled from Manassas VA...

    My 930 Case

    Yes, I tried power steering fluid, atf, hydraulic oil, and even some Lucas transmission fix as a last resort. I believe the pump is shot - odds are the fluid leaked out over time and the farm employees were never good about maintenance. The pump grinds something awful, and flat out shrieks at...

    My 930 Case

    Thank you everyone for the kind words and encouragement. I'm glad I was able to get the tractor back into our family, and save a piece of local history from the scrap yard. I have a feeling that this forum will see some more of this tractor - I'm sure I'll have questions and be needing advice...
