    I have an AC mod B tractor with a 5' Woods belley mower, Worksaver 3pt hitch, and 12 v converted. It needs a replacement starter ring gear, as the starter will not engage sometimes until I move the crank. Tractor starts and runs without problems. Has rear hydraulics. I also have an AC mod C...

    Knoedler seat

    I have a Knoedler seat on my 8N. At least it looks like a Knoedler seat from some other posts I have seen. The shock is wore out. The under frame does't look too sturdy, and it takes up alot of room. Are replacement shocks available anywhere? and is it worth restoring? I would be just as happy...

    8N Steering Sector Ball Nut / Tube Shaft

    I have an 8N serial #201246 with 4 bolt sterring gear. In the F0-4 manual pg 23 states that Ball Nut assembly is not serviceable, yet the Oct 7, 1947 Ford 8N Serice Manual describes how to disasemble and service same part. Is this just an example of updated information, or is the ball nut...

    Position Control Lever (Draft Mode)

    As I was cleaning up my 8N (ser# 8N201246), I noticed the previous owner had put a eye bolt on the position control lever. When I first saw it, I just thought it was hanging there, not attached. The eye bolt is keeping the lever in the fwd or down postion. The nut end of the eye bolt is...

    I don't even have my 8N running yet, but I'm thinking ahead on utilising my tractor mount log splitter. I have a 3 pt mounted log splitter that I used on my former MF-180 Massey tractor with auxilary hydrolics. I am trying to figure out what I need to convert it so I can use it on my 8N. I...

    8N 6v to 12 v conversion with coil (or without?)

    I just bought a non-running Ford 8N tractor with front mount distributor ser #201246 (or #261246). It does not have a battery, but previous owner was using a 12v battery with the generator unhooked to start and run it. I don't want to buy a 6v battery, so I want to convert to a 12v system. I...

    Steering sector adjustment

    I am looking at purchasing a 1950 8N tractor. The steering has been disasembled by a previous owner and has about 1/2 turn of free play. Is there a lash adjustment or is it more likely to need repalcement of worn parts? Current owner rescued it from being taken to the scrap yard and is...
