    Trnasmission Cutch Seal and Gasket

    Hi Thanks for the info. I have an IT shop service manual and did not see anything about the length of the bolts, but maybe missed it. Is the IT shop service manual where you found this information? Randy

    Terrible Tractor Accident Death

    Hi The first tractor we had was an 8N tractor, because it was cheap, parts were plentiful and it would not lose a lot of value like a new tractor - this was thirty years ago and its still here and running. I was always told a tractor could be dangerous and I respected that statement, especially...

    Trnasmission Cutch Seal and Gasket

    Hi I replaced the transmission clutch seal and gaskets to stop transmisson oil from getting on the clutch, as advised on this site. I replaced both the lower and upper gaskets, and now I notice that four of the bolts are about 1/4" inch longer than the other four. Does anyone know which plate...

    8N Eratic Hydraulic Lift

    Hi This is how the arm looks. From what I can see above the oil, it does not look bent - if there is a bend in it, it is slightly in the direction of the pto shaft. Randy

    8N Eratic Hydraulic Lift

    Hi My 8N's hydraulic lift has no problem lifting and holding its implements up. However, when the lever is put all the way up, the lift will go all the way up, then drift down quickly. Sometimes it will stay up in a jerking motion. If the lever is put midway up, it will hold the implement up...

    8N Basket Case Questions - worth restoring?

    I would keep looking, often you run across a good deal because the owner for whatever reason, does not want to do some minor repair work. Ideally, I would prefer to see a running tractor with little smoke. I bought a good 8N with a good engine and good tires for $600 because the owner did not...

    STICKY CLUCH - REPLACE TRANSMISSION SEAL

    Thanks - that makes sense, a loose pilot bearing would seem to cause the seal to wear more than usual. I thinks since I already have it split, I will try to replace the seal. Regards Randy

    STICKY CLUCH - REPLACE TRANSMISSION SEAL

    No, this hole is at the very bottom, at the very back of the clutch unit, next the transmission unit. Regards Randy

    STICKY CLUCH - REPLACE TRANSMISSION SEAL

    Thanks - will do, but first I need to find the gaskets. Why is it the bottom one rarely leaks when it is lower in the oil? Regards Randy

    STICKY CLUCH - REPLACE TRANSMISSION SEAL

    Mr Smith When I pull out the input shaft, the other "stuff" - the bearing, cup, cone, etc. will not somehow fall off into the transmission? What about the bottom seal for the countershaft, below the input shaft, can I do the same for it, and if so, after I remove the four bolts, how should I...

    STICKY CLUCH - REPLACE TRANSMISSION SEAL

    No, I know about the hole under the fly wheel with the cotter pin, the previous owner drilled a hole at the very back of the clutch unit, opposite of the fly wheel.
