52 8n axle nut
I did not remove the wire keeper. It looked like two nuts seperated by 1/2 circle keeper. I was trying to remove the "outside" nut 1st and then remove the keeper....As you can tell, I'm really new at the 8n stuff....learned a gang of things, thanks to folks like you willing to share their...- Johnny Smack

52 8n axle nut
Keeper? There is a channel on the axle but i dont see any key on either channel. I think I saw a picture of what looks like a 1/2 wire loop that sits between the outer and inner axle nut...it looks like there are two nuts separated by the 1/2 wire loop....could it be one nut and the wire loop is...- Johnny Smack

52 8n axle nut
Any trick to removing the rear axle nut? I've got a 7/8 drive with a 2" socket along with a 36" extension pipe off the breaker bar. Can't budge it...the axle nut does come off counter clockwise....right? I want to check the inner nut for tightness as I have slight rear wheel play on one side....- Johnny Smack

8n rear wheel loose
I have a 52 8n that had a 13.4x28 tire on one side with a 11.2x28 on the other. I replaced the 13.4x28 and put a 11.2x28 to match both tires. I noticed the wheel "wiggles" compared to the other side with the lug nuts tight....are there shims behind the axle nut? I realize tire size would not...- Johnny Smack

1952 Ford 8n carb Venturi
Thank you! I found some illustrations that showed the right orientation. Its an aftermarket carb (no markings) and the venturi does fit in either direction. I have a float issue as gas keeps coming out the throat as soon as i open the gas supply. I dont think it a venturi problem as the length...- Johnny Smack

ford 8n carb
Wow! Thanks for the illustration! I"m going to pull it apart again today and check- The float needle is rubber tipped but i did not include the spring as the old one did not have a spring- I also used 1/4 brake line to change the fuel line- but that appeared common to the old one. I bought the...- Johnny Smack

ford 8n carb
Finally got this 1952 8n to run for a minute or two! If i leave the fuel on until fuel drips out of the carb throat, the tractor runs for a few minutes- It will then stall after a minute or two, and not start again. If i let it sit until fuel drips from the carb throat, it will run again- I...- Johnny Smack

Jubilee NAA starter
We have a 53 Jubilee that the starter will not retract or release from the flywheel at times-seems to stick a lot. A friend said you should not lubricate the starter for fear of lubricating the clutch disc and getting slippage...any advice? The starter was a rebuilt a few years ago, just replace...- Johnny Smack

Ford 8N Alternator upgrade
Yes- I did buy a new coil at NAPA (got the coil # from this site). Its a 12v coil as i did not want an extra part as you advise. The new coil has a notation "no external resistor required". I thought the purpose of the resistor was to drop the 12volt battery voltage if someone did not want to...- Johnny Smack

Ford 8N Alternator upgrade
I have been trying to get this 1952 8n started for awhile now...6v battery/6v coil...with no luck. Tried a 12v battery and it started instantly...I decided to change the alternator & coil to do a complete 12v conversion. The directions in the kit I received had a ballast resistor shown between...- Johnny Smack
