    Is there a decent way to get this tire off a bad rim?

    This tire isn't terribly old and has minimal weather checking, but the rim is all rust jacked and leaks fluid from who knows where. I'm not sure if the rim itself is full of fluid or if the tube has a small leak, as it takes a while for it to visibly air down but there's always a puddle wherever...

    What all gaskets/seals do I need when I get into the three point lever?

    The cork(?) gasket behind my three point lever is dried out, so the handle has a tendency to flop down randomly unless you have it fully vertical. I started taking it apart the other day but realized that I might need some additional parts to fix it correctly. It looks like there's a rubber...

    What's this doohickey?

    I inherited a pile of random tractor parts, implements, and accessories with my Ford 8N, and I think I understand most of them. But this one in particular has me stumped. It looks like some sort of quick attach mechanism, but I only have one, and I don't know what it would work with. I assume...

    Debating if a SoS is worth the “risk” for loader work

    I’m looking at getting something with a loader, I’ve found several 600 and 800 series tractors with loaders and manual gearboxes, and I also found an 1801 with a nice loader an a select o speed. It seems to me that the SoS would be a nice upgrade for back and forth loader work and a local...

    Going crazy with ignition problems

    OK folks, I have a 1948-49 8N with a front mount distributor. Got it from a buddy, it was his dad's tractor, last run around 2020. Buddy kept it covered so it was in relatively good shape, and he also put paint on it whenever he had some out and about, so it's pretty layered up with Ford red...

    Engine oil pushing out of dipstick hole

    Hi all, I have a rather tired 39 9N, apparently it used to have a loader on it so I’m sure it’s in need of some engine work. It’s a little cold blooded, but once it’s running it stays going just fine. However, the main “blowby” symptom doesn’t match anything else I’ve found online. I don’t...

    Newbie question- what to use for turning over sod for large garden plot

    Hi all, I have a Ford 9N and 8N at my disposal, and have a project for the spring to take about half an acre of sod and turn it into a garden plot. So basically what I need to do is scrape up or turn over the sod so it’s ready for topsoil/compost and planting. I currently have a box grader with...

    Old Ford coil, can I fix it?

    I have this front mount coil, which I assume is an original 6 volt coil. It’s actually marked “Ford” which is cool. It measures in at 1.5 ohms if I recall correctly, so it seems to be good. Only problem is the brass stud on the top is broken and there’s not enough thread to reuse it. Is there a...

    Pertronix ignition issues and questions

    Hi all, I recently picked up what I believe to be a 49 8N (front mount distributor) that has a Pertronix conversion kit in the distributor, and the tractor was also converted to 12 volt, albeit a little sloppily. When I first tried to get it running, I couldn't get the starter to move unless I...

    Dearborn/Danuser 22-11 drive shaft

    Hi all, I just picked up a Dearborn 22-11 post hole digger with a nice 12” auger bit, but the previous owner said the drive shaft was too long for his 8N tractor. I took a look at it today and noticed the shaft is a fixed length, not the compressible shaft I thought typically came with these...

    Should a 9N be able to spin the rear wheels?

    This may seem like a weird question but I’m not sure how else to phrase it. I did an experiment with my 9N today, pulled it up to a nice solid tree with the front bumper up against the trunk, put the tractor in 1st, wide open throttle, and slowly let off the clutch. I wanted to see if the rear...

    6 bolt rim - replacement bolts?

    I’m hopefully going to swap good rims onto the centers on my 9N soon. The old rims are crusty and I’m not sure the bolts holding the rim to the center will come apart in one piece. What’s a decent replacement for these bolts? Any reason I can’t use a hex bolt instead of the square bolts that it...

    Goofy front bumper

    My 9N came with this, uh, interesting front bumper that appears to be homemade except for the brackets holding it to the body. It’s just a super heavy angle iron, almost too heavy to be useful as the little brackets want to twist if you push on one end of the bumper. Any idea what those...

    Gas tank too far gone or are there other tricks?

    The tank in my 9N had a couple gallons of super varnished gas in it when I got it, and lots of rust. I tried various other solvents I had laying around to loosen things up, and last week finally went and got a bunch of vinegar and got the tank almost full. It's been sitting for several days now...

    Should I replace the governor spring or keep the original?

    I have a ~1939 9N and pulled the governor because it just wasn't doing its job. The engine would run fine but the bottom 1/3 of the quadrant had no effect on engine speed and if you tried to actually move the tractor the governor wouldn't open up the throttle anymore so it would just bog and...

    Hydraulic pump flywheel confusion

    Hi all, I recently picked up a Wagner loader for my 9N, I believe it's a model 110. It came with the front mounted hydraulic pump and driveshaft, but I need to install the correct items on my tractor to mate to the driveshaft. It is a splined driveshaft. From what I can gather, I need...

    Help me understand wheel options

    Hi all, I’m new to tractors, bringing an early 9N back to life so I can put it to work. Currently, it has 6x19(?) front tires and 11-28 rear tires. The front rims and tires are shot, but the centers are ok. Rear tires are splitting/dry rotting, so much so that the tube bulges out one of the...

    New guy, implement choices to be made, other advice needed

    Hi all, I am getting a 9N from a friend of mine that is missing a starter, hopefully nothing else (but isn't that part of the fun?). I'm also going to get some implements from him, namely either a box or straight blade grader and a single bottom plow. I'm debating which grader I want for my...
