    8n Steering box

    I've got a 48' 8n with steering box issues. I've already tried the rebuild/repair route but something in the steering box gave way the other day so I'm back to square one. Replacement ones from this website are around $800 which is more than the tractor is worth. I've found a parts tractor for...

    Thanks much gents. I had looked before but this time I found a phenomenal video that shows everything you need to know about the steering box rebuild, including the needed parts and part numbers. I've attached a pic of my steering box and it appears to be the early type according to the pics...

    8n Steering box

    I inherited a 48' 8n from the wifes granddad and a while back the steering shaft broke so I replaced it with a new one and the steering has not been the same since.

    Steering box/shaft

    Folks- I have a 48' 8n and the steering shaft broke. I bought a new on and installation went fine. However, now I have a massive amount of 'play' in the steering, about 360 degrees to be exact. I'm wondering if I did something wrong on the install or if perhaps I was sold the wrong part...

    Guys, this looks to me like 8n I27694. However, this is not making sense to me because from what I've read this would be a tractor that was manufactured on Sept. 27th hence the I27 but the year is supposed to be the next digit, is it not?
