changed the oil in the 9n and found these

[ffinmich]

Hi
Have a good running 9n, decide to change the oil today, and I found these, were at least 5 or 6 of these, I fished them out of the oil drain hole with my finger. Also tractor over heated when i warmed
it to change the oil not sure if related to these little pieces. Any ideas what they are.
Thanks

not sure, when they are wiped off, almost look like a brass color.

Whoever put the safety wire on the rods did not know how to do it properly. Do not worry about it those nuts will not come loose. Henry thought they needed it if those engines were ever put in airplanes. ha ha Actually many early engines were built using safety wire. They have now figured out if it is mated properly and torqued it will stay tight barring a total failure. Probably was a good idea on machines like JDs where they had stacked shims in there.

It over heated before you changed the oil? That is concerning. Why did it do that?

 

[Abbby]

Wires to secure con rod or main bearing bolts?

 

[Caryc]

Are they fibers or wire?

I would venture a guess that the wires got in there the same way the penny did.

Second oldest hamburger chain in the US is named after the doll.

The one nearest me is no longer part of the chain (if you can call it a chain when it has three restaurants).

I wonder how many realize their N is missing the screen?
