    Got my 8n running again still issues

    Im not aware of a drain plug for 8n steering box. (there is a 1 1/4" expansion plug in the base, but no access unless the box is removed from the tractor) Owners manual says this Prolly make a big mess pouring down the shaft. This is the fill bolt on early boxes, Tim Daley (RIP) suggested to...

    Rod bearing failure

    Can a cub oil pump pick up tube get loose, or crack, allowing the pump to suck in air, along with oil? Wondering if maybe foamy oil/vapor cavitation, along with low pressure. Just thinking out loud 🤔

    2N Hydraulics stuck in up position

    Glad the hydros are good! Lots of folks have left those bendix parts where they fell, and have not had a problem. However, if they get under the flywheel ring gear teeth, it can crack or bust the housing. A tip was posted the other day to stick a strong magnet on the flywheel, then slowly turn...

    850 Pertronixs conversion issues ?

    Nice job fixing it! Keep remembering to turn the key off, and hopefully your pertronix will last decades!. Keep an eye on the epoxy coil. Check its primary ohms every now and then. Needs to stay at least 3.0 ohms. If drops to ~2.7 or so, its too low for the ignitor.

    850 Pertronixs conversion issues ?

    Hi Don, 1244A needs full battery volts on its red wire. Check if ignition switch is resisting, wire end rings are tight on the two terminal block posts etc. Best to also pull the drain plug on the bottom of the carb and see if 2 min of flow is about a pint. You're right, smptoms could be fuel...

    Is it possible to switch a side mount 8N block to a front mount setup?

    Don't need to align bore/hone the block for a cam swap. Ive heard of guys machining the camshaft bearing surface on the BLOCK, then adding replaceable bearing shells... When an oil pump body gets ruined, putting in a new pump/main cap does require an align bore/hone job.

    Primary seal etc.....

    Hi TJ64, The black bushing large diameter is to the outside, and its smaller diameter goes into the dist hole. Here is an old one Copper strip goes on the terminal first, then the squarish insulator, then through the bushing, then first nut squeezes tight--- in theory.

    Is it possible to switch a side mount 8N block to a front mount setup?

    If getting new gears, make sure the new ones are not too short. Early pumps have 9/16" gears, and later 8ns have 3/4" gears.( actual dimension should be .724"-.725") Neway=is the goodway. Took a look at two sidemount flywheels. Noticed that a diameter going through two bolt holes, happens to...

    9N Camshaft Gear

    Hi dwb-ne, Sorry it busted. This site has the pressed on gear---says from 39 to 42. Prolly good to drop the pan to clean, and loosening the mains a bit to drop the crank gear a little so the new cam gear can line up properly.
