    Light switch

    Here is the mystery switch under dash on right. Behind it is a cut off wire covered in electrical tape and a green wire that runs around to other side of dash and joins with 2 other wires. The other 2 wires are red and pinkish. The pinkish wire goes to the coil, and I honestly forgot where...

    Yes, simple to do now that I went out and bought a 6 v battery charger. The one I had died over the winter. Sometimes basic is better.

    Yep, I’m a tractor idiot. When I saw the switch I flipped it back and forth thinking “what’s this?” Not sure which way it started! I’ll try tracing the wires tomorrow.

    Ok thanks, all the wires are taped together and I am a little concerned about taking everything apart, but as you guessed, Jesus is not available for repair work.

    Light switch

    Ever since someone gave my 8n a tuneup last winter, I can’t get battery to hold a charge. 6v. Bought a new one, very weak then dead in 24 hrs. Battery was always strong before tuneup. Today I found a possible cause. Under right side of dash is a switch that flips left and right. Assume it’s...

    Pto shaft stuck and seal needs replacing 8n

    Well I got the front hydraulic plug off with the board/jack method, but the threads stayed in the tractor! I chose the front one cuz it was easiest to get to. Almost feels like this plug was welded in place. Oh well, not sure if this can be fixed!

    Pto shaft stuck and seal needs replacing 8n

    It really leaks! Like a constant heavy drip until the fluid is about 1/3 gone. Then it leaks more when I mow. Have trouble with excessive heat and decreased lift when I mow. But I hear you about what a PITA this could be. Just gonna get it all opened up and look at pump first. Right now having...

    Pto shaft stuck and seal needs replacing 8n

    Hi Bob, Remove the hitch cover - is that the part where the trailer hitch is attached to tractor? Cut the shaft, ok. Drop the pump - I ve seen that phrase several times. Is the Pto shaft the only thing supporting hydraulic pump, so that if cut fore and aft, the whole thing just drops out...

    Pto shaft stuck and seal needs replacing 8n

    For entertainment of those stuck in bad weather, above is my come along attempt to pull pto shaft. Didn t budge. The tractor rolled a little, so I figured any more would be excessive force. Went back and took off both right and left side plates. Can see and rotate pto, but no clue as to why it...

    Pto shaft stuck and seal needs replacing 8n

    Thanks for that info on top plate. I did put it back in place before leaving so nothing would drop in. Haven t been aggressive pulling (not very strong at 120 lbs), also don t have many tools. I read "don t use a come along" but that is one thing I have. Might try that, gently. Or go buy a slide...
