    Another question about 8N hydraulics

    Sorry to be kicking a dead horse, but just a quick question before I start tearing into it and ordering parts: 1951 Ford 8N. The original hydraulic pump was grenaded by a previous owner. I don't mean just cracked, I mean exploded. As part of a rebuild of the tractor, I bought a used hydraulic...

    WD and WD45 interchangeable parts?

    My partner has a WD that is nearing the end of its useful life - in need of some major renovation. I found a WD45 parts tractor for a good price. I know the engines are different, but what about the rest of the tractor? What parts would NOT be interchangeable?

    51 8N pinion gear

    I have a damaged pinion gear on my 51 8N. The ring gear is in good shape, though. I ordered a used pinion gear and it s on the way. However, I just read in the shop manual that the pinion and ring gear are made as a pair and both must be changed out as a pair. Will I have trouble just changing...

    8n idles and goes to High rpm but no in between

    I saw a YouTube video where the fellow ran into the same problem after he overhauled his carb. Turned out he installed the throttle shaft upside down, so that it would start and idle, but when he hit the throttle, the throttle return spring pulled it to full-throttle instead of back toward idle...

    Replacing generator with alternator

    Just my thoughts: The old 6v system is perfectly fine for the N series tractors if it is in working order. If you are having problems with it and it's not just wiring trouble, there is no reason NOT to update it to 12V. If you are handy, there is no reason to have to pay up to $300 for a 6V to...

    No serial number 8N

    No plate under the battery box. Must have been a replacement engine. I think a previous owner must have intended to use the 1951 as a parts tractor and just moved the dash (maybe the whole steering gear assembly and tower) and governor from the 1951 to the 1949. Looking at both tractors, they...

    No serial number 8N

    I recently bought two project 8Ns. One is a '49 and the other is a '51...according to the previous owner. So, the '49 carries the serial number 8N190569 with stars, so at least the engine is a 1949. However, there is a proofmeter in the dash with the appropriate governor to run it. Also, both...

    Coil installed on 12v conversion

    It's actually pretty easy, even without all the explanations. If your new coil says "12V internal resistor" on it, you don't need any other ballast resistor. If it does not say that on the coil, then you need a ballast resistor (even though it is a 12V coil). The ballast resistor that is already...

    trans/hydraulic fluid.

    When you see the oil overfull, especially transmission oil, in a tractor you are not totally familiar with, your first thought should be water. It is heavier than oil and will settle at the bottom of the pan, making your dipstick show overfull of oil. Draining it off the top as you did, using...

    Case 731 Low Range Gear Stuck Repair

    Thanks for the quick reply. A few questions to the owner lead me to believe it may not be the transmission. He says he stopped driving the tractor because it had a fuel leak in a fitting under the tank and that at a later date a fellow needed to move the tractor and told him that the brakes...

    Case 731 Low Range Gear Stuck Repair

    I have been looking at a Case 731. The ad indicates it was running when it was parked and that the brakes may be locked up. Price is pretty low. In reading forum posts, I came across a couple threads about the low range gear freezing up and that it is a difficult and expensive repair. Since it...

    Another questions re loader: JD3010 + JD48 loader

    Just to report back and add another question, I got the control recommended above and made a mount for it. I have it connecting to the quick-couplers on the back and it's working fine. Thanks for the help. Now for the question: The one remaining thing to do is to install the frame...
