    Which Coil do I need?

    Thought about doing that. Anyone you would recommend?

    Which Coil do I need?

    I guess i don't understand the purpose of using a resistor. Seems like you should only need it if you keep the old 6v coil.

    Which Coil do I need?

    Hi all. Been a few years since I have posted on this site. I have a 1952 8N side mount (late model. My 6v generator has bit the dust. It's was an old workhorse before I bought it years ago, still has the old rag-wire harness. Time to rewire and convert to 12v alternator. I am thinking about...

    Update - 52 Ford 8N brake problems

    Thanks. I have been whacking the rear edge of the drum for a while. Got lots of penetrating oil around where hub meets the drum. I have backed off the shoes until there is no more adjustment. I wonder, since part of my brake issue on that side is the pedal would not return all of the time, if...

    Update - 52 Ford 8N brake problems

    First off, thanks to ALL of you for your help. The drum screws are OUT. I used my air hammer + a big old 5/8 slotted screw bit I found at Harbor Freight yesterday, $25.00. I set my air gun for minimum torque. 1st 3 came right loose. Last one was a bugger, but I got-er-done. I had to file down...

    Great idea, but I don't have a welder. Always wanted one but never had much need for it.

    52 Ford 8N brake problems

    Went all over & the only manual driver I could find had #2 bit, & that's way too small. I did find a 5/8 wide bit at Harbor Freight. It is mounted in 1/2 socket. I will lower the torque on my air impact tool and adjust it as necessary. We'll give it a try tomorrow.

    52 Ford 8N brake problems

    Thanks Bruce. I think I'm going to have to try & find something I can use to make a big slotted screwdriver bit for my air operated impact gun. I tried using my battery operated impact gun but it doesn't have enough ooomph to get the job done.I haven't seen any big sloted bits for air operated...

    52 Ford 8N brake problems

    Hi all. Got the tractor out a week ago to repair washed out gravel driveway. 1st time I hit the brakes the tractor dove hard right. The right brake came on & locked the right wheel, left brake did nothing. In fact, left brake pedal didn't return up all the way. Drove cautiously around trying out...
