    Broken Hub- Warning- check those rear axle nuts!

    Yes, aftermarket...not sure Ford is making OEM parts for these tractors any more.

    Broken Hub- Warning- check those rear axle nuts!

    Overhauled the tractor last year which included putting new hubs on it. Here's a video my buddy and I did on the overhaul. We did torque it down off camera.

    Broken Hub- Warning- check those rear axle nuts!

    No, I did not have the locking clips...haven't had any since I've owned it but will look into to either buying or making some.

    Broken Hub- Warning- check those rear axle nuts!

    Yesterday I was out mowing and the left rear wheel came off. Apparently the rear axle nut had worked its way off and the wheel hub broke. Luckily I was not injured and can just replace the hub and nut. Moving forward I will definitely be checking those axle nuts before every use.

    8N Destroyed camshaft timing gear, what did I do wrong?

    I agree, if I was engineering this part I would try to move that bolt and/or change the size/thread count to make it idiot proof. I think this next time I'm going to engrave a "T" on the top bolt head, paint it a different color, or make it easily identifiable to ensure the correct one goes...

    8N Destroyed camshaft timing gear, what did I do wrong?

    Thanks for all the comments! I'm pretty sure that when I took the governor off I was paying attention to where the rods connected and didn't think too much about the bolts. I simply removed them and set them aside. When reassembling I did notice some resistance with the top bolt and went back...

    8N Destroyed camshaft timing gear, what did I do wrong?

    Ok, thanks for the response. I think I read about not doing that on a post a while back and then somehow still did it, really hurts to be dumb and stupid. 😩

    8N Destroyed camshaft timing gear, what did I do wrong?

    I have been putting the 1950 8N back together after doing some "refreshing" on it and went to start it. After about 2 attempts to crank I stopped as it was making a weird sound. Started investigating and noticed the timing cover housing that the governor attaches to was cracked. I removed the...

    Steering Gear Section Shaft Dust Seal Alternative?

    Thanks! I would guess in 1950 felt was more common but cellular foam sounds like a good option.

    Steering Gear Section Shaft Dust Seal Alternative?

    Took the Steering Gear Arms off the shaft on my 8N and found what was left of the old felt Dust Seal, seems like felt isn't such a great option...anyone tried something else like gasket material, etc? Obviously want to keep dirt and dust out but using felt seems like it would retain moisture and...

    Need help with 8N Brake pedal alignment

    No, only put two springs on the right side and made sure the adjuster was in the correct position so it could be accessed through the backing plate.

    Need help with 8N Brake pedal alignment

    New owner of a 1950 8N and working on rebuilding it to get into useable condition. I've replaced the rear axle seals, new hubs, new brakes, etc. but I need some help getting the brake petals to align. I understand the left side is adjustable but the right side is not. The issue I have is that...
