Best video on UA-cam regarding the leaky 3 point arms - I appreciate the focus on shims for preload and for showing in detail when and where to apply gasket sealer
I don't have the words of a bard to eloquently express the gratitude I feel for you taking the time to make this videos. Not just the N8 repair videos but your entire channel in general. I am starting a small homestead in just 1 acre of land (With a creek) and have a Ford 8N, I feel so much more comfortable and capable after watching this video and many of your other ones. From cutting down trees to all the mechanical work, if you were to ever make it to Anderson SC I would welcome you to my home and share some home made lemonade with brown sugar. May the universe give you plenty, bless you family and give you a long life. THANK YOU!!!! GRACIAS!!!!
DNA Networks we as humans are not made to exist independently we are herd animals. Everyone today is so isolated. even though they live in close proximity they are still very isolated from one another. Essential to life and happiness is community. Now you have to look further to find it but it is still there. Anyways thank you for being part of our community and allowing us to be part of yours. And thank you for the positive feedback. Looks like you have a pretty exciting path ahead of you.We wish you the best of luck
You did a great job of explaining the fundamentals of service. You must have had training in mechanics or just a lot of experience in mechanical work. This video was like going back 40 plus years and listening to our instructor during labs. Nice work!
I'm 68, grew up on a farm and spent a large portion of my career as an industrial mechanic. I've always done the repairs on my vehicles and equipment, although it does get harder as I get older. I can tell you know your way around equipment better than some professional mechanics I've seen. Excellent video 👍
Excellent Tudor! Nice looking tractor too, even a new steering wheel. Like your hammer techniques. I do much tractor work outside wherever too. Only down side is when a part drops in the dirt or grass, hard to find! Thanks again mainly for the pump tricks.
Love my 49 8N and love it even more now that I have found this saint who makes these incredible, enjoyable and informative videos about this legendary piece of machinery. Thank you.
Hi from Australia. You are a legend, everything you have done is perfect. The application of the sealant to the shims and inside of the spline hub is the correct thing to do, I even put sealant around the bolt threads if they are open to the oil inside the housing this stops the oil from wicking back out around the thread. I have been a heavy diesel mechanic for almost sixty years on trucks and earthmovers and i have been doing the same as you for many years and never had a problem with come backs. Two more comments, five stars to the camera person and I like the caveman impact wench.
Thanks for showing me how to change out these components. I just bought an 8N and presently am replacing the PTO shaft as it is easier than pressing out the bearing and seal right now. I have a service and shop manual for this tractor, but your helpful hints about the shims setting the pre-load on the wheel bearings are very helpful. Keep up the good work, Ya Old Hippy.
Good job you done well .I learned a little bit .Ive got a old 8n in the pole barn that has not ran for 4 or 5 years it about time to get it running .Thanks really enjoyed .
just rebuilt the hydraulics on my 8n since my last comment and it works great! Had to hone the cylinder out about .005 to smooth out the groves and installed a new piston but it doesn't bleed down like it did and it's very strong. Currently working on wire brushing everything and hope to paint it within a few weeks. This video was very helpful. Thanks again for taking the time to make it
We repaired many. Ferguson had the gaskets instead of using rtv sealant. We kept them in stock all the time when I grew up. Just no mess. Just goes to show you new not always better just more convenient. Can fix almost anywhere.
Love both you and wife’s philosophy. You will be prepared for this unknown future we are about to experience in 2021. All the best. Did the same thing 35 years a go.
Nice video. Wrap your teflon tape on in the other direction for a better fit/seal. This way as it is turned on it forms to the thread better. By placing the teflon on the way you did, it encourages the tape to start to unravel or bunch up and could cause a problem. My grandfather taught be that years ago.
You really should never use tape in a hydraulic circuit. Because of what you just mentioned and other variables could cause tape to enter the circuit flow and cause damage.
@@beckyschwantes5287 I always use thread tape on tapered threads , the problem arises when to much is put on and if the tape overlaps the the end of the thread. ALWAYS start two threads back from the end and two laps only.
I had a strange reaction to this video, other than that I really enjoyed it. I recalled the smell of kerosene, which we used to clean everything, smell of the fluid, and the smell of Permatex from the times when I helped my grandfather and my uncles work on a '48 8N -- usually on a rainy day under a lean to. I also can still "feel" what it is like to be bitten by one of the brake shoe springs. Nasty! 😎 Interesting... Great work, by the way, and good advice, too. Thanks!
You are a very careful mechanic. I used to have a 9n Ford with a ‘Sherman’ loader and a rear grader blade. I rebuilt the tractor’s engine and started what would eventually be a successful construction company with it as my first piece of equipment. I retired a few years ago after forty years in the house moving/ excavating business ( many tractors, dump trucks, bulldozers, cranes and backhoes later ). I had done most of my own equipment repairs until late in my business years. It takes a lot to impress me, but you have ! Just be more careful in your operation of the little 9n ( it can kill you just as quick as any crane or bulldozer ! ).
Thank you for taking the time to share those good memories and good advice. we started here too years ago with nothing but a box of hand tools and $600. We carved spoons and bowls right out side on the side of the mountain until we made enough money to buy our tractor.the tractor made it possible to take logs to the Mill and bring back lumbar to build our house and wood shop and blacksmith shop and chicken house. we don't have a car or truck our tractor is the only thing we have . we make very little money from blacksmithing and wood carving. But the tractor makes it possible to collect logs for free and rocks for free to continue building our homestead. Anyways thanks for sharing the good memories and the positive feedback
Carving A Path. Your Welcome. You have good narration abilities. We can relate to your life story. Thirty years ago my wife and I returned to my ancestor’s Mennonite faith. I owned two teams of Belgian draft horses and mostly logged and did some ‘hobby’ farming with them for twenty five years. Looking back I still wonder how I had all the energy for it. We still have one seven acre bit of farm and our circle sawmill, but I have not used it since 2011.
I love hearing about these good memories. I wish I was a good enough song writer to put in to words the images and feelings that come into my mind when I hear these good old stories. Anyways thanks for sharing
Thank you for the video. Only advice I could add, be very careful working under the tractor that is held up with just a jack, especially on unstable ground. I lost a friend that way. Otherwise...Bravo!
great video, great video production, great content, this is my next task on my 8n, hopefully this weekend, this is by far the absolute best video i have seen to get into my pump and entire rear end and axle ends, showing me tricks and things to do that are not shown anywhere else on the interweb, keep up the great work you two... thank you...
Thanks for this. I just bought a new to me '48 8N, and tho I wrench on everything from heavy equip, vehicles to airplanes, it never hurts read it in the manual and then see someone do it. Thanks for the tips on where you use your sealer and why, mainly the why. I do confess to be a bit more partial to my torque wrench and impact, but whatever it takes to get it done with no issues. Cheers!
Looks like your oil had some water in it. Old 8ns and 9ns used 90weight gear lube instead of tractor hydrolic oil to lube the trans and gear set and run the lift. Some times the two oils are not compatible and causes the sludge that you found..Replace your gear shift boot to keep water out of your lube.
NICE! There's a few minor things you glossed over or failed to mention but I'm not one of those 'keyboard critics'. I say WELL DONE. I WILL say this to ANY one considering buying one of these old 8N's.....BUY THE FO-4 MANUAL from Tractor Supply! The BEST 35 bucks you'll ever invest in your 'N' series tractor. EVERY time you open it, it will pay you back. JMHO....~Eli.
That was a awesome backwoods repair, no fancy tooling, no garage but yet able to do an outstanding job. I'm just amazed how you explained very well on how to do this repair, you sound like you have experience on old tractors and you probably can fix most newer tractors, well done thanks for sharing.
Hey great job 3 Rd time I have watched and your wife gets in there to help you.me and my father in 63 bought a new fordson dexta I believe it's same as yours only made in England colors are different ford blue & cream ours had the Perkins Diesel 5 cylinder and skiploader & backhoe trying to locate it anyway great videos I will keep watching
Great work. Looks like you had a little water in your old hydrolick fluid. Check the breather to make sure it's in good condition and not split or cracked. Or it's your shifter boot.
I replace gear shift boots every year and keep 2 extra ones. Have home maded sheet metal shade covers witch help me during summer and keep rain of shifter boot
i put case of empty lite oil containers while in the cardboard box thru the table saw to cut the tops off...then as i disassemble a contraption o put the parts in , in order then reassemble py us9ng the containers in reverse...never will get used to metric (but it is a better system i am afraid)...Creator bless you folks...doug..(kanada)
I apperciate the video!...Ive got a 9N and I dont mind saying..its a pain in the but to do a brake job!...lol...But it looks like I need to rebuild my hydraulic pump The hydraulics drift down after a short time....
great video..... just got an 8N with a hydraulic pump issue and you did a tremendous job...... perfect camera angles - high def too; thanks for the time you put into this - I live in North Idaho which looks pretty familiar to your location - where are you ? if you tear into the clutch and transmission, get good shots 'cause I am a bit intimidated thank you again
You both made a really good video on the 8N service/repair. Very informative, well explained, very clean, nothing rushed, done properly. You showed me things that I needed to know before getting to the same repairs on my own 8Ns. Now i can get into it with confidence and a much better understanding of each step. I was curious tho,, what silicone did you use? was it any particular silicone? I would love to hear back on that. I look forward to watching all your videos. Thank you and take care.
If you have any questions along the way feel free to ask I will do my best to answer them. Anyways thanks for the positive feedback that does mean a lot to us
Nice and informative video! Would like to hear more about how your diagnosed the hydraulic pump as your problem and what all parts you replaced. My lift isn’t working, and I think it might me the pump, but not sure. Liked and subbed!
I could tell it was the pump because it would take a really really long time to build enough pressure to lift the three-point hitch. And the hydraulic fluid needed to be changed so while I had the hydraulic fluid drained out I just went ahead and rebuilt the pump so it was right. It is not a very hard job to rebuild the pump but make sure you get the right rebuild kit I was not aware and have never heard anything anywhere I looked but there are two different kinds of pumps the way you can tell which one you have on the pump the valve that controls it where the linkage from the lever hooks in one has a fork and the other one has a round hole that the linkage goes in the one I have has the round hole but a lot of them have the fork on the actual valve on the pump so make sure to know what one you have. You can buy the rebuild kits from eBay around a hundred and fifty bucks if you get a higher quality kit it can be 350 they also have on eBay pumps that have already been rebuilt for not much more than the high quality rebuild kit. Anyways if you have any questions let me know
Carving A Path thanks for the advice. I went ahead and pulled the pump today and just ordered a rebuild kit on eBay. Hopefully this fixes my problem. Lol
Great video, however, too bad you never showed us the parts break out of the four valves. Some of us goofed and never noticed the sequence of the pieces when we did the disassembly.
That is unfortunate that the pins are leaking on your tractor. If you can do the brakes and axle seals I think you will have no problem fixing the Leaky pins
It's easy to fix There's three ways to fix it you can cut a piece of foam and put around the base which doesn't last long Or you can raise the vent two and a half inches using metal pipe or brass pipe fittings or you could put a hose bib on it and remotely raise it higher position
I have a 1939 N2 tractor and want to ask what transmission oil are you using and also for your engine. Haven't overhaul my tractor in a long time so I'm thinking of doing it before the end of this year. I recently ordered service, manual, and book parts for this type of tractors. Just want to put proper oil for this old timer.
Hi. I am new.to your channel and I also have a 48 8n. Very informative. Thank you. I was wondering, what fluid did you put in. A brand and type would help. I know there os alot of fluids out there, but what works for that tractor. Thank you very much.
Were there/are there "seals" other than gaskets that you replaced? It looks like at 10:39 it received an excellent cleaning and new gaskets. Was there more?
I removed the top lid off my 8n to work on the hydraulics and I can actually see the ring gear through a hole at the top I’ve never seen under the cover and I’m pretty sure it is not supposed to be that way. Am I wrong??
Hi I saw your nice videos its very interesting ,I learnt allot from you on how to fix 8N ,i have my hydraulic working but it doesn't stay up ..it loose the pressure very slowly after 30 seconds . do you think its seals worn out or is it something else??? thank you. joseph
It sounds to me like that could be the piston that is located under the top lid which is under your seat.If that is the case that is not very expensive or hard to do. Search on UA-cam troubleshooting eight in hydraulics.
Check the lift cylinder and piston. If you have the old 3 seal setup get the new piston and rebuild it. First you should open Up the Acceas panel to The hydraulic sump. See if you are leaking fluid from the safety valve at the pump
wasthe rear pto a option i see u just have a cover not a spline to put a drive shaft too and mine dont have locking rear end thiught they where all the same lol
Just had to comment again, my brakes were mush and I did not know how to adjust them, thanks to your video, I now have GREAT brakes, they weren't worn out, just needed adjusted. My lift works, but the lever falls down all the way on its own if I lower it more than 1/4 from the top, any way to tighten that?
I believe the way to correct the lever from falling on its own is to adjust the resistance tensioning nut. The shaft that the lever turns has a lock nut on it and behind the locknut is a spring.that locknut is to set the preload on that spring which pushes pressure toThe resistance bushing. It sounds like that nut just needs to be tightened if you turn it until you have the resistance that you like I believe that will correct your problem. Let me know if that works. I had the same issue on mine and that is what fixed the problem
What if you just left the pto engaging lever on in the first place and then dropped the pump, would that work? or is it necessary to take it off then re install it to drop the pump?
I think you probably could just leave it on at first. But I do think it is necessary to remove it before reinstalling the pump. It gives you better access to everything and allows you to see better what’s going on.
Did I miss the part where we replace the worn components of the hydraulic pump? I didn’t see if it was a gear pump or what. Did you use a rebuild kit? I guess this was all about the leaks at the taper pins and the axle seals and the cleaning.
It’s not a gear pump . He rebuilt the valve chambers. I Think I saw a new brass bushing. What I didn’t see was the servicing of the pump safety valve. Also you do not use thread tape in a hydraulic circuit
Best video on UA-cam regarding the leaky 3 point arms - I appreciate the focus on shims for preload and for showing in detail when and where to apply gasket sealer
I couldn't get the pump out till I watched this video, especially at circa 6:25 . Wiggle the PTO lever!!! Thank you! Thank you!!
If you are going to rebuild an old ford 8n this is the person to watch. Highly informative.

This was Wonderful .. perfect .. I completely understand how that tractor works now thank you again...
This was an excellent presentation of the process and repair and you should be so proud to have help so many viewers.. I am a subscriber now….thanks

Ok.CAP, now that you're in the east you can come down to East Tennessee Mountain and do my 8n.
Good video.I enjoy watching your videos.
Well, I got hooked on this great channel. Great videos. I appreciate your positive attitude to life and hard work. Be Blessed from South Africa
Nice simple video. To the point, easy to follow and thorough.
Very informative in taking care of the 8n.

Thanks!
We really enjoy your comments. Thank you for your interaction and positive feedback
@@CarvingAPath Thank you for your kindness.
You are a very careful mechanic. I used to have a 9n Ford with a ‘Sherman’ loader and a rear grader blade.

Yep. Very dangerous. He should have put a block of wood under the rear end for safety. But I loved the video. He seems like a smart guy.
I just started watching ur videos and really enjoy them. Thank you
great video, great video production, great content, this is my next task on my 8n, hopefully this weekend, this is by far the absolute best video i have seen to get into my pump and entire rear end and axle ends, showing me tricks and things to do that are not shown anywhere else on the interweb, keep up the great work you two... thank you...
A real good video, you gave a full explanation of each move. Great job.
Thanks for the great tutorial video, it will help me in the future.
Somehow you make videos very interesting. Also luv the songbirds in background- a nice place u have, I envy you bro.

Also I change all lubes every year and it saves repairs and damage parts. I use them all year around
Parts are very high now
Good Man. Nice Job,
Great video!!!
Great information 🚜🇺🇸
Very Nice video thanks
Thank, very informative
I apperciate the video!...Ive got a 9N and I dont mind saying..its a pain in the but to do a brake job!...lol...But it looks like I need to rebuild my hydraulic pump The hydraulics drift down after a short time....
Always wondered what was in there....thanks
Interesting application of the torque hammer...
You can also pull the PTO out to fix those pins
great video..... just got an 8N with a hydraulic pump issue and you did a tremendous job...... perfect camera angles - high def too; thanks for the time you put into this - I live in North Idaho which looks pretty familiar to your location - where are you ?
if you tear into the clutch and transmission, get good shots 'cause I am a bit intimidated
thank you again
Two thumbs up!

Let me know how it turns out
Excellent video!! torque on the axle nuts is 450 Lb fts Where did you gain your mechanical knowledge?
Great video, however, too bad you never showed us the parts break out of the four valves. Some of us goofed and never noticed the sequence of the pieces when we did the disassembly.
Great video. So what is the tube you have to put on the axel when you put on the hub. You call it “sealant “. What is that?
The pins on my 47 2N or leaking as well, Brakes on a 2n are a monster, I changed the axel seals with ended up being much more than I expecterd
That is unfortunate that the pins are leaking on your tractor. If you can do the brakes and axle seals I think you will have no problem fixing the Leaky pins
I have never done any work on a 2N but I imagine they have to be pretty similar so if I can be of any help feel free to ask any questions you may have
If I remember right on that particular tractor it's got a vent that takes in rainwater
It's easy to fix
There's three ways to fix it you can cut a piece of foam and put around the base which doesn't last long
Or you can raise the vent two and a half inches using metal pipe or brass pipe fittings or you could put a hose bib on it and remotely raise it higher position
@@aaron.n2182 how please?🤔
I edited my comment
To explain how to fix it
@@aaron.n2182 thanks hero 👍🏼 why did you not put gasket sealer on your pump?🤔
Doing mine as we speak, following closely in your steps 🚶♂️
I have a 1939 N2 tractor and want to ask what transmission oil are you using and also for your engine. Haven't overhaul my tractor in a long time so I'm thinking of doing it before the end of this year. I recently ordered service, manual, and book parts for this type of tractors. Just want to put proper oil for this old timer.
Hi. I am new.to your channel and I also have a 48 8n. Very informative. Thank you. I was wondering, what fluid did you put in. A brand and type would help. I know there os alot of fluids out there, but what works for that tractor. Thank you very much.
Teflon tape is not a seal. It is used as lubricant on the threads.
Were there/are there "seals" other than gaskets that you replaced? It looks like at 10:39 it received an excellent cleaning and new gaskets. Was there more?
I removed the top lid off my 8n to work on the hydraulics and I can actually see the ring gear through a hole at the top I’ve never seen under the cover and I’m pretty sure it is not supposed to be that way. Am I wrong??
👍👍
Hi I saw your nice videos its very interesting ,I learnt allot from you on how to fix 8N ,i have my hydraulic working but it doesn't stay up ..it loose the pressure very slowly after 30 seconds . do you think its seals worn out or is it something else??? thank you. joseph
It sounds to me like that could be the piston that is located under the top lid which is under your seat.If that is the case that is not very expensive or hard to do. Search on UA-cam troubleshooting eight in hydraulics.
Check the lift cylinder and piston. If you have the old 3 seal setup get the new piston and rebuild it. First you should open
Up the Acceas panel to
The hydraulic sump. See if you are leaking fluid from the safety valve at the pump
wasthe rear pto a option i see u just have a cover not a spline to put a drive shaft too and mine dont have locking rear end thiught they where all the same lol
Just had to comment again, my brakes were mush and I did not know how to adjust them, thanks to your video, I now have GREAT brakes, they weren't worn out, just needed adjusted. My lift works, but the lever falls down all the way on its own if I lower it more than 1/4 from the top, any way to tighten that?
I believe the way to correct the lever from falling on its own is to adjust the resistance tensioning nut. The shaft that the lever turns has a lock nut on it and behind the locknut is a spring.that locknut is to set the preload on that spring which pushes pressure toThe resistance bushing. It sounds like that nut just needs to be tightened if you turn it until you have the resistance that you like I believe that will correct your problem. Let me know if that works. I had the same issue on mine and that is what fixed the problem
@@CarvingAPath You are the Man! That worked a treat. I keep thinking this thing is old and busted, but turns out it just needs adjusted.
How to covert 6 volt 8N tractor to 12 volts install a dropping resister between distributor and key switch.
what kind of sealant did you use to seal the axel? by the way really great video
Sorry about the late response. I used Ultra black maximum oil resistance gasket maker by Permatex
Thanks for the positive feedback
@@CarvingAPath thank you and your welcome
What if you just left the pto engaging lever on in the first place and then dropped the pump, would that work? or is it necessary to take it off then re install it to drop the pump?
I think you probably could just leave it on at first. But I do think it is necessary to remove it before reinstalling the pump. It gives you better access to everything and allows you to see better what’s going on.
Did I miss the part where we replace the worn components of the hydraulic pump? I didn’t see if it was a gear pump or what. Did you use a rebuild kit? I guess this was all about the leaks at the taper pins and the axle seals and the cleaning.
It’s not a gear pump . He rebuilt the valve chambers. I
Think I saw a new brass bushing. What I didn’t see was the servicing of the pump safety valve. Also you do not use thread tape in a hydraulic circuit
