hydraulic leak gasket question

[james9n]

I have a leak and i am not sure what i need to order. I dont know correct terminology...but the leak is occurring right where the 3 point hitch arms pivot at.Right where they connect to the tractor at. I wasnt sure if it is just a gasket there or some type of rubber bushing or something.

Common problem on smaller Fords.
Your lower pin is loose.
Only one wat to fix it properly.
Remove the LEFT axle housing (trumpet)
That's the Port side for you sailors.
Remove the big differential from the center housing.
Now you can tighten Both of the pins.
I clean the tapered pin and mating hole with lacquer thinner and apply a thin coat of your favorite pucky like silicone or permatex.
The job is very simple but requires some muscle to remove the tire, trumper and differential.

Which tractor? 8n has the taper pin, 9 and 2ns don't. they have gasket.

It's been close to a dozen years since I made that repair on my 2N but do remember having to remove the trumpet and differential to get at the castelated nut.
Or, is my memory worse than I remember it being?

The 2n has a gasket and the 8n does not. pins are different overall procedure is the same.
