    Junk Yard 9N

    After my last post I remembered that I can see what it went for. $400 and it could have been mine. That's more than I would have paid...

    Junk Yard 9N

    You can't save 'em all! I feel that way too though. There was a lonely looking 9N at Repocast not long ago. I'm sure I could have had it for cheap. It's good I don't own a trailer big enough.

    suggestions needed...

    I have a pressure washer with a Honda motor that doesn't have a drain plug. I tip it to drain out the fill hole. Keeps the dust down in my driveway. :lol:

    Install new bumper, can't get the old bolts out

    I've had pretty good luck with an air hammer and punch in those situations. The rapid blows seem to break the rust better than big smacks from a sledge. Heat would worry me a bit since I don't know the metallurgy.

    Snow Cake, and B.G. pix

    I just finished clearing that crap with my 9N and back blade. I had plenty of traction with my chains but the deep wet snow had ice underneath so the fronts wanted to just slide. I did a lot of steering with brakes.

    Thanks Gary. My 9N would add "You're never too old".

    8N Cold Weather Starting

    I ordered a new style starter drive for my 9N as others recommended. There have been many posts here about the difficulty of removing/installing a starter so I put the job off for years. This fall I was having more trouble than usual getting the tractor started so I bit the bullet and...

    Hydraulic oil

    I switched from 90w to UTF and now, when plowing snow, the lift is usable immediately. I used to have to wait 5 minutes or so for the 90w molasses to warm up.

    It must be good stuff because if you follow the link you'll find it's been discontinued. :?

    CL tractor

    I didn't think so either, but then I had to put in 150' of silt fence for a project at home. The bottom of silt fence needs to buried in a 6" deep trench. My yard is all clay. The trench was done in less than an hour with the middle buster I bought for $50. It's not often I buy a tool that...

    You can't have too many tools

    Very nice! We switched to Gates fittings from Parker at work because of numerous Parker quality issues. They claim to have fixed the issues now but it's too late.

    8n challenge

    My 9N was acting the same. I jumpered the key switch and it ran great. She's sporting a new key switch now and I haven't had the issue since.

    Greatest Country Western Song

    The Kendalls deserve an honorable mention here. "Heart of the matter" and "Heaven's just a sin away" are at the top of my list.

    Chains

    And miss out on plowing, shoveling, scraping, frostbite, shivering, numb body parts, sliding off the road, frozen pipes and falling on my arse? Where's the fun in that?
