    Power steering for an 8N?

    Thanks for the feedback guys. So a couple of questions about the discussions. First, I looked at both the epowersteering and Jackson Power Steering. I am assuming that you folks that have used epowersteering systems have adapted one of their kits to your tractor since I find no tractor specific...

    Power steering for an 8N?

    I'm sure this had probably been covered before in this forum but I can't find any reference to it. Can power steering be put on an 8N? Since I put the loader back on mine is monstrously hard to steer. Sure be nice to have PS like my 961 has. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks guys! Norm

    Carb issues on my 8N

    Hey Royse, I would agree with you. I have run a wire through every passage I can but the idle passages have some angles in them that prevent a wire. I have done things like spray WD40 in one end and see if it comes out the other. So far, everything appears open. Good fuel flow, float is set...

    Carb issues on my 8N

    When I read your response I had one of those EUREKA moments because I would have sworn I had it in the wrong way. I got up, pulled on a coat and went out to the shop. Took the carb off, took it apart, and.....it was in correctly :( Man, I really thought that might have been it. I wish that would...

    8N Transmission woes

    I posted another message several weeks ago about a strange noise my transmission was making. knock-knock-knock........knock-knock-knock...etc. Didn't know if the noise was from the sherman combo or the 3 speed. I've also had "something" lock up in the drive train that froze the tractor while in...

    oil filter housing leak....

    Is there a kit to do the conversion or did you do it yourself? I'd be interested in a spin-on! Thanks Norm

    oil filter housing leak....

    I recently put a new filter in my 8N and had the same leaking top experience. (I got the filter from YTMAG). The rubber gasket that came with the filter was too small diameter and it leaked profusely. I ended up making a gasket on my lathe with my handy dandy round gasket maker jig (which cost...

    Carb issues on my 8N

    OK, so I got this 8N last summer, finally got it running (but it needed major work) but I did get a kit for the carb and rebuilt it. Carb worked great. Took the tractor in the shop last fall and tore the engine down. Fast forward to a month ago when the engine was back together and running...

    Strange noise in the Sherman

    I didn't know it until I found oldfordtractore.com the other night, I have a combo. I've been associated with this tractor since my teans and I always thought there was just a low range and a high range. I never knew you pulled the handle out to get to "standard"! But thanks for the link, I did...

    Strange noise in the Sherman

    Thanks guys, appreciate the advice. The reason I suspect the Sherman is because it "sounds" like that's where the noise is coming from when putting my ear up to that area then the main transmission. Yes, the noise stops when the clutch is pressed, and speeds up when the Sherman is shifted into...

    Strange noise in the Sherman

    Hey guys, need some of your knowledge. When my 8N sits and idles there is a knocking noise coming from (I'm 95% sure) the Sherman transmission. But it's not constant, it goes knock...... knock..... knock.............. Knock..... Knock..... Knock, etc. Faster engine speed, faster set of...
