Quality Voltage Regulator
1950 8N 6V with front mount distributor. After days of troubleshooting I still cannot figure out why my system is pulling 13 amps, but I know I ordered a 6V VR for a front mount and the generator was replaced at some point with a later 20 amp 2 brush generator. So, the new regulator shuts down...- Dan

Odd charging issue
Working on a 1950 8N with front mount distributor and still 6 volts. Has an older wiring harness on it, and I had to rewire and add the resister block as it was missing. Now, wiring is exactly as the I&T manual shows. When I first got it, the generator was not charging. I found I could motor...- Dan

Rebuilding a 9N hydraulic lift cover and when I pulled the cover off the gasket between the body and cover is a thick black ruberized-looking gasket. It stayed on the body and doesn't look to be beat up. The new gasket is a thin paper one. Knowing the pressure pipe runs through this is...- Dan

PTO housing help
Working on a 1950 8N for a buddy and discovered the hydraulic and differential housing was swapped out some time in the past with a 9N or 2N model (luckily the rear axle housings were still the 1950 version with the inner oil seal). Anyway, it has an original small 1 1/8" pto shaft but the...- Dan
