    8N lost full power

    Update i just ran compression test and it is exactly like you said. Front 2 cyl are 115 the back two are 30-35. So will head gasket buy me a couple more weeks? When this 8n was running it was running strong, maybe i will idle her down a touch baby it a little.

    8N lost full power

    Would a symptom of blown head gasket be oil in water or water in oil, the fluids look to be ok.

    8N lost full power

    I was using a spring plow out on deer food plot working tractor pretty hard, it was lugging it a good bit. After about an hour all of sudden the exhaust started cracking or popping. It also started to smoke a pretty good trail. It has always let out a little puff when starting it or going full...

    ford 8n lower link support pin

    Standing at the rear it is the one on the right side, it is loose just free spinning. It may just need to be tightened but it shouldnt hurt to replace it with a brand new one. I will probably do both sides while im at it. I read somewhere on here if you can access both if you remove only one...

    ford 8n lower link support pin

    I need to fix a leak at this pin. I am showing two different part #s. One is #8n-563 and the other is NCA-563C. I have no idea which one mine is, but those two pins look completely different.

It looks almost army jeep green sort of. I have a new powder coated headlight and the M2J945 color...
