    satety triangle

    GB, I like your method. Is that seat adjustment your invention? I don't believe I've ever seen that before. Just need an long piece of .32 aluminum.

    About to go crazy.....

    Hello Mark, I seem to have published the picture of the arms down. Trust me, with the arms up I have the exact same problem (just went out and checked)

    About to go crazy.....

    The bottom picture with my hand on the control handle is as far up as it will go. Note the spring is starting to compress on the LP pad. Brian

    About to go crazy.....

    1948 8N Hydraulics rebuild. Hello, I purchased Zane's kit and cant seem to get past page seven. Here is my problem. It says to place in draft mode position the arms "up" and move the touch control handle up. My touch control handle moves freely a few inches then starts to compress the control...

    8N hyd

    I want to make sure I have the nomenclature correct. It's the control handle (one you grab with with your hand and has the ball on the end) This handle does not move more than an inch or so. I believe that I should be able to move this control handle vertical. The link above this has the...

    8N hyd

    Purchased Zane's kit and found my cam following pin worn in half. The pin tapped out with a few punches but inserting the new pin is a pain in the rear. I also note that I can not move my control lever more than two inches from this picture. The spring compresses within an inch. Is this normal...

    Farmall Cub

    A friend of mine has a Farmall Cub that does an outstanding job of grading a field with rippers. It uses a set of springs to apply down force and works great. I wish my 8N could do such a nice job. I live on a piece of property that is on a hill and is uneven.

    Ethanol in gas

    I fill up two five gallon cans with 100LL at my local airport. 100 octane leaded fuel. I usually mix a 50/50 ratio with the MO gas from my local station. Guess what? Fifty years ago when you pumped gas it was 100 octane leaded fuel.

    8N front bumper

    I envy you talented types that can make your own bumper. I do have the material to form an hitch myself. Thanks for the idea Carson. Looking at the shadow of the bumper gives a little to the weight of the bumper. Brian

    8N front bumper

    Our 8N has always had a weighted bumper installed. Lately, I have needed to move a boat which requires a trailer hitch ball installed. I have thought about installing the stock bumper. Also, can someone point me to a decent contact to purchase a stock front bumper? Many thanks.

    Mounting sprayer on 8N

    The local Tractor supply store has a perfect 12 gallon electric sprayer for 79 bucks. I was thinking about mounting it on the front bumper I have weights up front to help secure the sprayer. Any other locations that do not require a cart? Thanks

    8N oil filter modification

    Sounds fair, I realize that keeping the old Ford stock is important. I was just inline with the thought of the new filter being superior. Thanks....
