    I951 Ford 8N - Upper radiator hose tapered or straight?

    S: Thanks for pics and explanation. Oops on the wrong connection of the upper hose - cylinder head snout, of course. I'll try the soap trick next time I work on "Ole Chug".

    I951 Ford 8N - Upper radiator hose tapered or straight?

    On my new-to-me '51 8N, the upper radiator hose I took off (ugly!) was larger in diameter at the water pump end and smaller in diameter at the radiator input end. It was supposed to have a thermostat stuck up into the hose at the pump end, but there was NO thermosat at all! Ordered YT water...

    How to add gear oil to steering case if steering wheel is welded to the steering column?

    J: I've pulled the rusted-out Proofmeter (and already have a replacement from YT) and can see this bolt. I'll remove it and use a bore light to check for gunk blockage.

    How to add gear oil to steering case if steering wheel is welded to the steering column?

    I was recently gifted a 1952 Ford 8N, Ser. # 410,998, that was last started more than 30 years ago. Biggest issue, so far, was the 6"-8" steering wheel backlash. Pulled left-side sector cover plate of the steering gear housing, expecting a slosh of old gear oil ... got about 1/2 cup of greasy...
