    Front hub cap

    Righty tighty ... Lefty loosey. It's a darn shame all grease caps weren't made this well. I can't stand the tap in and pry off kind.

    Plow fun, than no Hot start........

    For me and my generally reliably running 8N .... "died wont restart hot" ended up being resolved 4 times by replacing front mount coil and once by the condensor. The condensor time liked to have kicked my butt because I had it in my head that it was OK. I darn near replaced the whole sparky...

    8N hyd lift - questions with pics...

    Rick I had a simular problem with mine this past fall. Based on the advice from this board I cleaned the sump, changed the relief valve and while I was in there honed the cylinder, installed a NAA piston and swapped the cam follower pin. Bought and used Zanes adjusting jig, put in fresh oil and...

    '47 8N stalling cutting high grass

    Steve it is probally as simple as to much load for the amount of HP the 8N can produce. I only own a 6 foot shredder which is bigger than ideal for the twenty something HP's my '47 8N put's out. Some areas where I'm cutting bahaia grass and 18 inch high ant hills, my tractor will bog down...

    New'izz N to my collection

    Hobo what is special about a '47 that would make it a keeper. Mater is a early '47 8N and I had kinda wished it was a later 8 because of a few improvements in the later models. Clue me in.

    Dies when bushogging?

    I had a simular problem last summer on my front mount 8N. My situation turned out to be that as the motor got under a load, the coil became hot and started to fail. I could resart the tractor after a few minutes and it was fine when I returned to the shredding the problem would repeat. I thought...

    Tractor scam on Craigs List

    I sure everyone gets tired of hearing about the dishonesty of others but just so no one lets their love of tractors cloud their better judgment, I will share. Sunday night a fully restored, 861 PowerMaster was listed on craigslist with photos for $2300. I responded that I was a very interested...

    How much disc for 8N?

    I'm wanting to put "Mater" my 47 8N to work this spring discing up some old fields. I've been looking at new and used discs for a while but I really don't know anything about what I'm loking at. :?: How much of a disc can an 8N handle? What is the reason for some discs having notches? If I'm...

    north vs south

    Dunk you blew it. You were off topic and brought up a wound that will not heal in the hearts of us southern boys. Best leave it alone and stick to tractors. The group could get divided real quick.

    Thoughts and what year this 8N is ??

    Osweld, I do believe that it would be possible to swap the inspection covers and everything work just fine. I'm certain that everyone will agree that the right cover that has the dipstick in it, could fit on the left side with no problem. I think the same holds true for the PTO/ hydraulic...

    What's their motive? Is it an external deminsion driven swap? If not, I would be suspect.

    Oil pressure relief valve

    The nut is receased on the inside to hold the spring. Yes I pulled out the spring and plunger to look on the inside and found a ball bearing. I feel certain that this is not supposed to be in there. The reason I got into this mess is because my oil pressure was pegging my new gauge at 50 psi...
