Annual Maintenence

[Jim Phillips]

A couple of years ago, there was a posting on here detailing what annual maintenance should be done for a working 8-N. It was nicely done and very helpful. So 0f course being the smart fellow that I am I never printed or saved it. I tried a search but computers are smarter than me so I didn"t find it. Anybody help out there?
And yes I am the idiot that has the same post in the open Ford section! Sorry!

orry, I don't remember that post, but your Owner's Manual has all maintenance identified by location on tractor & interval.

as jmor said.. the owners manual covers any maintenance you may eed.

for most of us this includes an oil change , cleaning the points and plugs, re gap and re-install, checking tires and coolant, servicing air cleaner ( service it more than 1 per year!!!! ) re greasing fititngs and exercising the adjustable 3pt link as well as servicing our implement gear boxes, zerks and pto shafts.. don't forget to lube that orc as well as check belts and hoses..

clean electrical and bat connections if corrosion has occured. check plug wires and other ignition parts looking for carbon tracks or bad insulation.. etc..
