    Frozen lift

    Thanks Hobo! I'll check the safety valve out and see if that's the culprit. For some reason when I get one thing fixed and another thing pops up that needs repair I kinda look forward to it. Guess that's a good thing!

    Frozen lift

    Was mowing this week and half way through the job and my lift froze about a quarter of the way up. The arms won't go up or down. It has a new cover gasket, safety valve, piston, steel rings, cylinder and cam pin (the one that wears out). There is play in the friction disc area and I need to...

    Pin removal in control arm

    Thanks Zane! I'm opting for using a hydraulic press to do the job. Got a New Holland dealership nearby that would take it on.

    Pin removal in control arm

    Finally got it off!! Didn't know that was a woodruff key! Got the arm out and now I can take it to a machine shop and have the pin pressed out. I appreciate everyone's help on this one. Many good lessons learned while working on this ole girl. Many thanks again to a great group of folks who...

    Pin removal in control arm

    Finally got off the aluminum piece, however since it's keyed the shaft doesn't want to slip past the quadrant. I don't see any keyed area in the quadrant. There is a hole in the shaft, am I to slip something in there to unscrew the shaft into two pieces? Sorry to keep bugging everyone on this...

    Pin removal in control arm

    Thanks again ya'll! I've been soaking the aluminum hub these last couple of days and will continue to work on prying it out. Using a couple of flat head screwdrivers as the friction (pad?) behind it has greatly deteriorated over time. Can't do much mowing without good hydraulics.

    Pin removal in control arm

    JMOR, Here's what it looks like now. I've removed the 4 quadrant bolts and hit the friction plate with some PB blaster. Am I missing that nut that you referenced earlier? Thanks again!

    Pin removal in control arm

    I'm trying to remove the hardened dowel pin from the control arm in my 8N. This is the pin that wears out over time and needs replacing as about half of it is worn down. I've tried driving it out and pressing it out with a vise to no avail. I tried to remove the control arm out of the cover...

    Early 8n Hydraulics

    The springs look good on one side, I'm going to inspect the other side and if they look good I'll leave them as is. I don't have a cutting or reseating tool. I figured the replacement parts were correctly sized and ready to go. I will order a new control valve however if I can simply install...

    Early 8n Hydraulics

    Thanks guys!! I was thinking about using mineral spirits to clean it out. Still have some left from removing the cosomline from my Mosin. Sound like that will work?

    Early 8n Hydraulics

    Hello all! Working on the hydraulics now and have run into a wall again. The lift fails to lift at all, upon inspection the pump would bubble from the top, I didn't notice any fluid leaking from the top of the cover down into the sump. Seems like a pump issue so I'm in the process of...

    Headlights kill engine

    Would this old resistor work that is below the ammeter instead of using a diode or light? It might be the original, but I'm not sure. Thanks again!

    Headlights kill engine

    That was the setup she came with when I bought her. No doubt it was set up incorrectly. I'm going to rewire according to the diagram. However the wire going back to the ignition switch passes through something else a (LARRP?) Not too sure what that is. Thanks again and I'll send pics back...

    Headlights kill engine

    Here's a picture of the alternator before I restored it. Where are the other tabs? What is the excite tab? Also the key switch is a 2 post.
