    Motor Oil

    How long do you think motor oil will last in a can. Yes I said CAN no plastic jug. Do not know how old this can of oil is but I think it might have a few years on it. Found this today in my shed. Fell behind some cabinets and no telling how long it has been back there. Do not know if it still...

    Funk 6-cyl. Manifold install

    Howdy - looking for folks to weigh in with their experience. I've finally located a good replacement exhaust manifold for my '48 8N Funk conversion, and I'm getting ready for the install. Head surface is cleaned up nice, got both the intake/exhaust blasted clean and coated with Calxy, AND I've...

    Anybody ever have a stuck Radius Rod pin?

    This one seems weird; pulled my 8N into the garage after work today to replace the broken left side pin I just noticed last week. Got a new replacement pin, the job looks simple and about as straightforward as it gets - knock remaining piece of broken pin out, tap new one in, attach cotter pin...

    Funk Governor Front Seal

    If anyone is interested, I've located two manufacturer/part numbers for the Funk front casting: 1) TCM DICHTOMATIK Oil Seal, p/n 22X35X7TC and 2) SKF Oil Seal, p/n 8516 #1 appears to be a metal body with a rubberized outer coating; it's presently in the Governor, which continues to seep oil...

    Seeking Funk Governor Front Seal

    Whoops, let me try that again: O.K., I took some photos of my governor and bad seal to help explain things; the first shot shows the front casting with the seal removed, and the second shows the damaged seal where it fits on the casting. The O.D. of the seal measures 35mm/1.378" with my...

    Re: Re: 6 Cylinder funk questions.

    KCM wrote: "Governor: The difference between your Funk and '49 is that the '49 attaches directly to the engine, so the oil pumped in by the line goes directly into the engine. The Funk governor is totally enclosed. There is a small pipe plug on the side of the Funk governor pulley housing...

    Funk Governor Front Seal

    I posted this in the Tractor Talk forum a couple of days ago - Hello, good people - I've recently acquired a '52 8N with a dealer-installed Funk 6-Cylinder conversion, H series. One really pesky thing I need to fix is the oil seeping through a badly-installed governor front seal (behind the...

    Seeking Funk Governor Front Seal

    Have to admit I hadn't thought of that - O.K., I need to yank that puppy off anyway and pull it apart again. I'll report back later. Thanks for the heads-up, Bob!
