    3 point arm leaking fluid

    thanks guys!! I only had time to skim and I'll dive in deeper when I have more time, but for now I just wanted to say thanks and how much I appreciate everyone here. For what it's worth, it's a 2n (I'm estimating mostly late '43), not sure that changes much. Thanks, I'm loving this...

    3 point arm leaking fluid

    OK, total tractor (and generally mechanic) newbie here who's ready to learn by doing.... My right lower 3point arm leaks fluid constantly, so I'm assuming I need to tear things apart and replace seals. From the bit that I've read, it sounds like I need to pull apart the entire rear end to...

    3 point level won't stay where I put it.

    Well, that was a much easier fix than I thought it was going to be. All fixed, thanks! (as a tractor noob, I hesitate to start just turning bolts until I understand what's going to happen...thanks for the go-ahead ;) )

    3 point level won't stay where I put it.

    Thanks everyone...tried googling replacement of the friction disc but came up blank...waiting on my books in the mail...will just hold tight until then. Thanks for all the help!

    3 point level won't stay where I put it.

    Good question, helped me see what's happening: I push the handle all the way down and if I hold it, it'll go down. But, when I let go of the handle it pops back up to the mid-point and the lift rises. It feels like, at the lower position, the hydraulics are pushing the handle back up when I...

    3 point level won't stay where I put it.

    Ah HA! I kept seeing something about a "Zane Thing" and I was like...whaaaat? :) Thanks I'll check it out. So to keep it 'all the way up or all the way down', as mentioned, should I just do that/control that with the power (ie. how much power I'm sending to the hydraulics)? Or does...

    3 point level won't stay where I put it.

    So I'm a total noob with my 2N. I've used my dad's modern Kubota quite a bit, but the 3pt on there seems like a whole different story than this one. I have a blade and a simple hitch attachment and I've tried with both of them (thinking weight is going to make a big difference). My problem...

    SE Michigan Newbie Checking In....

    What great posts everyone. Thanks for being such a welcome community to a new guy! Here's some pics. My two biggest concerns are shown here, maybe I could get some commentary on them. First, the block was cracked at some point, probably 30 years ago or so and was rewelded(?). It seems...

    Haha, awesome. Every single person who's seen it so far says "Wow, that's cool. What the heck are you going to do with it?". I just shrug and smile. :)

    SE Michigan Newbie Checking In....

    Thanks, yeah, those manuals are on my list. I don't live far from The Henry Ford Museum here in Detroit, so I was able to pick up "How to Restore Ford Tractors" right in their gift shop (after oogling over the museum tractors of course). That may be more my speed to start (I'm no mechanic...

    SE Michigan Newbie Checking In....

    Hey all, just picked up my first tractor yesterday. From the best I can tell it's (mostly) a 43-44 2N (with plenty of 8N parts and modifications). I've always wanted an N tractor even though I live in a fairly suburban area (more small town than suburbs I guess)...I have no idea what I'll do...
