    Diesel oil

    Has anyone used diesel oil in their 8Ns? Just curious since the 8n is so old and viscosity seems like a good thing.

    Spark

    Dell does it again.

    Spark

    I bow to the master. It was a new condenser but obviously that is not a sure bet in this day and age. I put the old condenser back in, I replaced it only because I bought a kit and it had a new one in it. So far it is running normally. Thanks Dell, you saved me a few hours of running in circles...

    Spark

    Thanks Dell, I will change out condenser and see if that does the trick.

    Spark

    Did not clean the new points when I put them in a few weeks ago but had no problems until now. Good tip, thanks.

    Spark

    Got it started, replaced the new points but I am thinking it may be a fuel problem as posters noted. Reason I agree with them is that it is running rougher than normal so I will go through the fuel system and carb to see what I can find, probably needs a good cleaning anyway. Thanks for the...

    Spark

    8N 6volt started right up but after a few minutes it was sputtering, died, got it started again but ran rough and finally died for good. New points and they are gaped right, put another set of plugs in, old ones were kind of fouled but nothing out of the ordinary. Tested for spark and nothing...

    no spark

    Probably the points, at least that is usually my issue. I found kits at Tractor Supply that had points, rotor and condenser. Points is the best place to start and easiest.

    Shorted battery

    Thanks for all the help/input. I checked the battery, it was over 6 volts but I went ahead and charged it for a few hours. The puddle of melted metal was from the cable, it must have been coated with solder. It did not burn through the battery case, just put a nice little divot but just surface...

    Shorted battery

    My 6 volt battery, positive ground, slipped and the negative pole made contact with sheet metal shorting the battery. The terminal was glowing and some lead melted and the engine quit. I am letting it cool down before I try to start it. Any suggestions on what damage to look for?

    Broken lift bar

    Yes, the nut would not come off. It is not leaking so for now, until the weather improves, I will get my neighbor to weld it while it is still on the tractor. I am also going to see if I can weld a support piece to reinforce.

    Broken lift bar

    I have two 8Ns and one of them already has a loose pin and does leak. Sounds like I have some heavy duty maintenance to do when the weather improves, on both machines.

    Broken lift bar

    Can you get a wrench in there if you go in that way?

    Broken lift bar

    Got my 8n stuck in a snow drift and broke the lift arm getting it out, broke it in the middle where it attaches to the chain and lift arm. Any tricks to get it off where it bolts to the tractor? It just spins, it looks like it should unbolt from the housing but does not losen and I can't...

    Loader Hydraulic Leaks

    The lifting rams on my loader are leaking so they need to be rebuilt. Is this a do it yourself or do I need to take them to an implement shop? It is a Farmhand model and it is leaking around the seals where the pistons go in and out. It looks like there is a collar that screws off but I don't...
