    How to preserve the "patina"?

    I have a ex military Humvee that I spray down with WD40 about once a year. Not sure what it would do to the decals but sure makes the Humvee look nice.

    New guy with a NAA with Burch loader.

    Ive had a 8n and a 2n just picked up a 54 NAA with a loader. Need paints and a rear rim, other than that it is good as is. It has a nice Burch loader on it. I see Burch made farm implements but i found nothing about loaders. Anyone out there seen Burch loaders.

    John Deere Disc

    I got this disc with my 2n, because it is green I think it might be a John Deere, but not sure. Anyone know the brand/model. It is about 6ft wide. It looks to big for my 2n but not sure. I've never had or used one so I'm not sure. Is there an adjustment so I could tow it around without...

    Axle housing/governer questions

    I just picked up a 2n and have a couple issues I need resolved. #1 - the housing pivot point on the left bottom 3pt arm is leaking. It appears that I need to pull the axle housing to fix this problem. I saw some directions online on how to do this. Can I keep the axle/axle housing/brake...

    53 Jubilee- Grey engine oil

    I"m looking at buying a 53 Ford Jubilee. It has a Ford 1200 loader, and is in good shape, and the price is right. Now the item that concerns me is that the engine oil is greyish. I"m guessing it is because water is in the oil but the oil is still fairly thick. Has anyone ever dealt with...

    Hydraulic control lever

    The line for the loader runs off the bottom of the hydraulic pump. Do all 8n"s have this pressure port? To run the 3 point the loader needs to be locked down, to run the loader the 3 point needs to be chained down. Have no idea about the line pressure.

    Hydraulic control lever

    The hydraulics in my 8n are stuck in the up position. My question is in regards to the lever that controls the piston in the valve. I took the inspection cover and watched the arm that is tied into the up/down lever. When I move the control lever I couldn't tell whether the arm in the case is...

    Burnt 8n 6v coil with 12v?

    I recently converted my 8n over to 12v. Eveything was working great until my 3 yo daughter got ahold of it. She playing around on the tractor and flipped the ignition to on. It sat that way for over a week. I went out to do some work and the ignition was on and the battery was dead. Now...

    Hydraulic Loader won't go down.

    Zane, I purchased a manual hoping it was going to help me. It helps me ID the various parts but that is about it. I pulled the inspection cover and the oil looks really, I was actually surprised it has been a few years since I changed it. But the tractor doesn't get used much. If I...

    Hydraulic Loader won't go down.

    I have a loader on the front of my 8n that gets stuck up frequently. Once it gets stuck up it will break free after 5 minutes or so. Turning the tractor off does not help. The line to the loader runs off the bottom of the hydraulic pan. I"ve read about problems with the 3 point arms getting...

    8n reading 0 volts - running

    I"m having a charging problem with my 8n. I"m under the impression that I should be able to disconnect the battery while the tractor is running and it should continue to run. If this is incorrect I have no problem. When the tractor is not running battery reads 6 volts. Battery terminal on...

    OT: neck deep in snow

    That's nothing, Spokane is buried. 25 inches on the ground in 36 hours and another 5-10 on the way. It was sunny and 10 degrees today. .5 degrees now. Crazy weather. The bump on the left is a Mazda, I parked it when there was already 8 inches on the ground. I think it will be another month...

    Won't start - carb issues?

    It is a 6v, front mount. I'll try the items that have been suggested. Thanks. I checked the compression with a hand held push in tester, far from perfect but it gives an idea. Tight quarters as well. I'll have to dig up a screw in one. The snow stopped, broke the 24 hour snow fall record...

    Won't start - carb issues?

    I"ve had my 8n for a couple years now and it has ran great until recently. It cranks over, gets gas and gets spark, just won"t start. I put a carb rebuild kit in it thinking that was the problem, it stills is very hard to start, that is if it even starts. I"m getting gas but for what ever...
