    What is this part?

    Thank you Soundguy. Would you be able to point me in the direction of a part number for this? I can't seem to find it. I never had problems starting this tractor. Would you suppose it is just left over from a previous fix?

    What is this part?

    Guys, I have sinned. I took my early 50 8N apart in August of last year to rebuild the motor, replace clutch, pressure plate, release bearing and shaft seal. Got the motor back together in the fall and then got really busy with life and such. I had a lithe time today to go out and see if I...

    Pistons in - how much drag is acceptable?

    I am certain they are where they belong. They were marked by someone before me. I kept them the same. I put the crank and pistons in today. I can turn it with an 18" breaker bar. Seems tighter in some places but I think I'm ok. I left the crank pulley on and now I see it must come off to...

    Pistons in - how much drag is acceptable?

    Thanks all. I pulled all the caps and checked clearance with plastigage. They all came within spec. This is my first rebuild with rope seals. I'm gonna put it back together and hope it is just that. It's not like I have to jump on the breaker bar, it is just a bit more resistant in certain...

    Pistons in - how much drag is acceptable?

    I did clean the grooves well. I pulled things apart and used plastigage. The mains and rod checked out to be in spec. It looks like the #1 piston is ever so slightly cocked toward the front of the motor. I did not check the exact measurements, but there is just a bit more room to the rear...

    Pistons in - how much drag is acceptable?

    Hi guys, Just put new rings on my pistons, honed the cylinders to remove the glaze and had the crank polished and all new bearings. Now that I have the crank in, and the rods and pistons I'm wondering how much effort it should take to turn the crank. Seems the oil rings are fairly tight. All...

    To rebuild or not

    Hi Folks, Just separated my 49 8N to replace the clutch. As I suspected, there is a lot of oil in the bell housing. I'm not sure if it is the upper, lower or both main seals. The tractor runs well, but I feel like I need to replace the oil pan gasket, so I'll be "in there." Obviously to...

    Splitting a 49 8N question

    JcinKY, thanks for your suggestion, but I can't find a transmission input shaft seal. Do you appen to have a part number for this? I am ready to order parts and would like to get it all at once. Thanks.

    Splitting a 49 8N question

    Thanks guys. It took about three hours from the start to achieve separation. Came apart very nicely. And how I imagined it would. Yes, the pressure plate was stuck on the flywheel. Looks like a parts order is in my short term future. This is a great board. Thanks to everyone who...

    Splitting a 49 8N question

    Hi all, About to do my first split on my 8N to replace the clutch. I have almost everything ready to accomplish the split, but for the bolts around the tranny housing. My question is this... is the purpose of using a hoist through the steering wheel only to keep the back end from falling...
