    Quick Hitch on a 8N?

    Thinking of getting one of these, https://www.harborfreight.com/3-point-quick-hitch-27-3-16-inch-clearance-97214.html any reason not to use one on an 8N? I'm constantly switching between a disc tiller, a scraper box, and soon a pto chipper, and maybe a mower and wrestling the floating...

    48 8N runs for 10-30 seconds, then stalls too easily...

    figure its time for a new thread, because I've moved on to the end game here. 1948 Front distributor 8N, with a 12V alternator, coil, and starter.. history to date... son overheated, dumped coolant all over ignition, AND fried the starter... in process of sorting that out, I discovered...

    How to change a radiator with a monkey-bar loader ...

    heh, so I determined there was no way to get my hood off the tractor with my monkey bar loader, however, I could raise the front of it a foot or so.... so I stuck a pipe through it to hold it up for this past week while I tinker away... ugly, but it worked! new radiator installed, hoses...

    PTO backlash thing

    So I gather if we want to run a brush mower on these tractors, we need a PTO anti-backlash thing to keep the mower from driving the tractor when you step on the clutch... is that what I have already?

    Thermostat?

    so I'm changing the radiator and hoses on my early 8N front distributor model... much as I've always done when I do this on an older car of mine, I ordered a new thermostat... huh, there IS no thermostat in there now?? so, I put it in the top port on the head, with the pointy end towards...

    flushing cooling system when changing the radiator...

    My '48 8N's radiator is completely shot, ordered a new one along with hoses and hardware and stuff, from the store at this site... While waiting for the parts to get here, I got the old radiator off. I stuck a garden hose with a rubber fitting on the top hose connection, and flushed it at...

    symptoms...

    it was running a little rough, and my son was using it to push stuff up into a slash pile for burning later in the winter... it boiled over (the radiator is toast), and blooshed the whole front of the engine in coolant. he burned out the starter motor trying to get it running, so I put a new...

    12V front distributor coil resistance.

    sorting my way through my 48 8N (again)... the thing stopped running when coolant dumped all over the front of the engine. inside of the front distributor looks dry, ditto the inside of the cap, outside of the coil and cap were all greasy/wet... Just took the coil off for a proper...

    radiator...

    so my radiator is all clogged up, tractor is overheating... its just a ugly workhorse tractor, the hood is all full of tinworm rot anyways.... the tractor has a front loader 'jungle gym' all around it, so taking the hood off is not looking to be a easy project. I'm thinking of just...

    installing a starter on my 8N

    so I'm replacing the starter, again, on my 8N, the last one made a clanking crunch a few times then stopped turning while sucking the voltage down to about 5V and darn near smoking my ground cable.... should I be greasing the 'bendix' thing on the end of the shaft with the pinion gear? or...

    48(?) 8N, front distributor, ignition wire gauge

    hey, I have a 48 8N I just got to run again after sitting in the field for 6-8 years... I had to hotwire the ignition coil with a jumper, as the wire to it wasn't getting juice (yet there was juice at the other end). I wanna replace that and a few more wires on there that melty with the...
