    Transmission "snapped" on 8N

    Nice! Thanks! I hope that is what it is. The question now is, what does it involve to fix it, or should I cross that bridge when I get there? It will suffice to tell me how long the average person would take to do it, and then I'll multiply by the time by 4. :-) It ALWAYS takes...

    Transmission "snapped" on 8N

    Both of you have been helpful; thanks. I went out and secured the bucket. The Hi-Lift jack fits right in the frame nicely to keep it off the ground. There is a layer of ice on the ground no from refrozen snow. I have not been able to recover it with winch and Jeep; I'm just sliding...

    Transmission "snapped" on 8N

    That looks like a start Sean. I guess I need to get it pulled into the barn first. It's still out in the yard. Pulling that plate requires I drain the fluid first I take it? One of the big problems is securing the front loader up so I can pull it. I used my hi-lift jack last time. I...

    Transmission "snapped" on 8N

    I've come to this list a number of times for help. Here I go again. After this recent epic storm, I managed to dig out using the front loader. It was sort of like eating a gallon of icecream with a toothpick, but it worked. I was finishing up and got bogged down. I rocked the tractor a...

    8N starter help

    Dunk: Once I got the bucket and the blade off the ground, I had my wife pull me in reverse. Started right up! Then it promptly started pumping hydraulic fluid on the ground. It blew the "oil filter" completely off! My theory is since I didn't change the hydraulic fluid, and it looks beige on...

    8N starter help

    Yes they appear to be the same looking at the old starter. When I had the starter out, I had my wife rock the tractor with Jeep and chain. I could see the ring gear at least wiggling back and forth. I jacked up the blade and secured it with a chain. That was hard. I am jacking up the front...

    8N starter help

    So I just went out and hooked some heavy duty jumper cables to the Jeep and tried to spin the starter. Loaded the Jeep down, heated the cables, but no joy. Is there any way to put that new version starter in wrong? I mean if it looks like everything goes over the gear ring, and I can tighten...

    OT Splitting Firewood

    I have owned a monster maul for many years. On the right wood, it will split faster than any other way. On the wrong wood, it will wear you out like no other way. Red elm needs hydraulics. Mike

    Maintaining and Grooming Gravel driveway

    I have a heavy old Land Pride blade on my 8N. Your first inclination in your first post was spot on in my opinion. I use a drveway groomer and think it's the best. I sometimes use 1/2 of the box on the back of it. Do order it with the galvanized box attachments. I had my smithy weld up a...

    8N starter help

    OK. So maybe put a new battery wire on it huh? Only thing open would be Thiesens and Walmart tomorrow. I'll take it out and see how long it is. Based on what I've said, is there anything that could be binding it up? The driveline gear for the Prince pump uses a replacement pulley, spline and...

    8N starter help

    Doesn't even sounf like it's trying to ingage, but won't spin either. Motor hums like the gears are bound. Is there some trick I'm missing putting it back in the tractor? It's cold out, and I've run out of light. Tomorrow I WILL take it all back out and make sure all connections are...
