    track vehicle sighting (OT?)

    They look cool, would love to play with that model T, but still trying to figure out how the conversion works, looks like a lot of potential slippage. Smooth rubber tires depending on friction to drive the tracks? And front skis, would need to have the tires sunk in to touch? I like that...

    52 8n rear axle question.

    Head for a drug store, pick up some lipstick in your favorite color,it's great for checking how tight something fits. (But does raise a few eyebrows if you keep it in your pocket)

    Refurbing my 8N's shift gate

    That looks like a great fix. Mine is getting a bit sloppy, not bad enough to worry about yet, but nice to see an example for when I get ambitious!

    My live hydraulics setup

    I'm interested in that conversion, already have a loader with pump on my 8n, been wondering if there was a way I could connect it to the tractor hydraulics and run them both with the same pump. My tractor seems to have had something on the hydraulics before as there is a pipe, with a ball...

    oil pressure

    Oil will come out with tube removed, slip a rubber hose over the tube if it's steel, put the end in a bottle and crank it over. You can pick up a cheap 3 gauge set (Temp/oil pressure/voltage) from an auto supply for under $20, I keep one in the garage for trouble shooting etc because many...

    looking for half track ideas

    The problem I see with mounting behind is that none of the tractor weight would be transferred to the tracks. When under the belly, they carried a lot of weight I don't see the turning being a problem. Use the brakes and wheel in combination, slow or stop the track you're turning into...

    8n hydraulics

    I'll do that. Still plan on tearing into it and replacing any worn parts I find. Pretty sure I need to clean out the sump too, I reached down to the bottom and there's maybe a half inch of what feels and looks like axle grease on the bottom. The fluid itself looks pretty clean otherwise.

    8n hydraulics

    Does seem to be working correctly now, stays up approximately 6 hours after shutting down. New issue, now the only way it drops all the way to the ground is if I move the draft lever forward. when it's in normal position control, the 3 point only drops a bit over halfway down.

    Vent on top of dome on 8n gas tank

    Agree, it's completely unlikely, only way I could see it happening id if tank were filled to the brim when it was very cold out, then left alone till it warmed up a lot outside. Sloshing isn't enough to do it.

    8n hydraulics

    I'm not certain, but think I may have solved the problem. Went out to look inside pulled the cover and all I saw was a very slight drip from above. While inspecting anything I thought looked interesting, I noticed the the plate the quadrant is mounted is slotted, and there were 'slide'...

    8n hydraulics

    I'll take the advice of pulling and cleaning the pump and everything. Biggest problem I have so far is finding a cylinder, every place that has them listed has also marked them out of stock, or on back order. Only find them on Ebay, and I don't care for Ebay.

    Half track tracks on CL

    I'm over by Hardy pond in Newaygo, 5 minute walk to some great fishing. Nice and quiet except on hot boat weekend.

    8n hydraulics

    Have not yet opened it up to inspect. Plan on doing that before I order parts. That's what I've concluded, piston or cylinder, it's strong lifting so I've almost ruled out the over pressure valve, which seems like it would weaken the lift if it were faulty. Intend to swap it out anyway...

    Half track tracks on CL

    Thank you for the welcome! I figured it out, on the second set of parenthesis the closing one is too close to the 8.

    8n hydraulics

    Recently picked up a 1951 8n. three point is strong, but drops quickly when I hit the clutch or shut down. Did some searching and found the likely culprit(s), intend to order all parts I think I'll need so I can simply bolt everything in and get back to work. anyone have a list of what...
