    '52 8N with manifold leak no studs just bolts

    Hi all, My '52 8N is starting to leak at the engine manifold near the #4 cylinder. Have not pulled this yet, hopefully it's just a gasket blowout, but we'll see. I have read most of the prior posts about reworking these surfaces if pitted. The wrinkle here is that the prior owner bolted this...

    Ford 8N vs 35' cedar

    Guess who won? But as you can see, I had help. :-) And 12v DC to 110v AC inverters sure are handy. This tree was mostly dead last fall, but was still standing until this last week. A sawzall makes for quick limbing, and an inverter lets me run small tools just about anywhere. Our 12v 52 8N...

    Wheel width question

    Hello, I use my '52 8N for all kinds of projects. In our East TN pastures we have lots of hilly spots and a wider stance would be helpful. According to the manual, wheels on an N can be set out to 76". Has anyone tried this with their N lately? Any mechanical wear problems with the bearings...

    Tire time in east TN

    Hello all, I am getting ready to start cleaning up some rims - hopefully the photos came through. These are all 28's off Hundred series tractors and are a mix of 12's and 13's tires. Some were filled and the rims suffered. I drained them before rolling up the ramp seen in the second photo...

    Rocker pin (#486) removal

    I'm trying to use the forum search tool and avoid asking yet another question that's been beat to death already, but I must be calling this part by the wrong name? Not finding much written up so far. I'd call it the top link rocker shaft. In the parts catalog for both the N's and the Hundreds...

    850 followed me home

    Thanks again to all who helped me step through troubleshooting the ignition problems I reported earlier. After I got spark to the plugs, I attempted to start it again. but still no go. I have bypassed the fuel in the tank with a little lawnmower tank and clean gas. I get clean fuel out the...

    850 - no spark

    Hello, I brought home an 850 that sat outside for a couple years. PO converted to 12 volt with what looks like 10si alternator. V/R has been removed, but wiring is kinda farmerized. Anyhow, I'm working on getting it started for the first time in quite a while. Have the carb hooked up to a...

    Wagner 110 loader on 640 - front mount

    I am getting ready to make up mounts to hang a Wagner 110 loader on a 640 project tractor. I was able to download the Wagner manual (BIG thanks to Kurt Witte!) so now I have something to go by. If anybody has one of these loaders, I'd sure appreciate the dimensions of the front plate (#22)...

    Why did Ford do it this way?

    I posted earlier about my 52 8N front axle pin working loose while mowing. Finally got this fixed yesterday. Sorry I don't have a picture of my fix - but here's the diagram. BTW, the bolt #22 is not near as long as the picture shows - it's more like 1 inch or less. I had a spare front axle...

    '52 8N - front axle pin problems Pt II

    I posted the other day about the front axle pin coming loose on my '52 8N while mowing. Here's why it came loose My question - can this plate be welded back on the axle support? I see three spots where this was tacked on. If so, will it hold? thanks, Doug in east TN

    '52 8N - almost lost front axle pin

    This just about happened to me yesterday. I was mowing all weekend with the 8N. Late Sunday afternoon I noticed what sounded like the radiator fan blades hitting something when I mowed downhill. Just a short ‘ping-ting’ kind of noise once in a while, but that’s always a bad noise. I'd been...

    '52 8N - Managed to poke a radiator hole

    I was cleaning up some dead fall & brush in a pasture with the 8N and a old single row cultivator. This works great with the top link cranked out way long so the tines don't dig in - like a poor man's rock rake. Anyhow, got a little carried away and must have backed up over some heavier stuff...

    Hundred series TLB - four or five speed?

    I am putting together the parts for a tractor/loader/backhoe project. So far I have a Wagner WM3 loader and a Woods 3 point backhoe. I was going to hang these on a 640 with the four speed transmission. I came across a five speed 650 that does not run. I've never driven one before. Is the...

    Stinger pump vs this kind?

    I had never seen this kind of pump before. Looks like they fit on a 134 or 172 Red Tiger? If so, what kind of volume does it deliver? I'm putting together a TLB on a 640 frame, so I will not be using the 3pt lift hydraulics again. This would seem to mount better than a pump up front...

    Got some splinin' to do questions on Universal Lock Nut

    I had problems with my '52 8N last fall. It would not move forward or backward, but PTO still worked. I was afraid I messed up an axle, but it turned out to be the left hub instead (see photo) I'm going to check out the right hub next. When I ordered the new hubs from this site, I also...

    172 in a 600 series - preproject questions

    I have a chance to buy a rebuilt 172 engine. I have two 600 series tractors that could both use engine rebuilding. One is a 640 four speed, one is a 650 five speed (standard PTO, not live). The 172 engine will bolt right in where the 134 was. I have read about combinations like these...

    Going over to the dark side....

    Good morning! This is a great forum and has helped me learn a LOT about my old Ford tractors. It is also known as one of the more active AND contentious discussion groups for Ford tractors. But that is OK - "None of us are as smart as all of us" sort of thing. I have decided to convert one...

    Solenoid question

    I had to replace the 6v solenoid in a 640 Saturday. With the days growing shorter, I really wanted to finish up the project I had going, so headed over to TSC and bought one from the 'land of almost right' off their pegboard display. Hated to do that but they were nearby and had some in stock...
