- In this video, the Ford 8n breaks down while mowing grass in the field to make hay. After closer inspection, I need to repair the hydraulic lift arms that control the three point hitch. Thankfully, I am able to use the new Grimm Tedder to fluff the hay and rake it into Windrows with the old international rake, Before we have to tear the tractor apart. If your 8n 9n 2n etc. is having issues with the three point hitch, it may be helpful to watch as some of the parts in my top lid are not where they’re supposed to be. 
My apologies some of the camera work is shaky as it is hard to run these old tractors and film😂
Thanks for watching steddieprojects! - Авто та транспорт
I love watching the 8n work
Boy lucky you didn’t get serious injuries when the gasket blew but in a long run it gave you the opportunity to fix all those issues and now that should be good for a very long time!😀🇨🇦
Definitely hot oil came flying out but thankfully ok. 😀
Just ordered that Jig from Just 8Ns. thanks for the tip Noticed that my Lift when in the lever is in the up position I have to move the big lever almost all the way to the top to get the lift to even start going up.. And it goes up vary slowly. when the little lever is in the down position it doesn't even work at all.
Also noticed the oil in the gear /hydro case the oil is clear at first but after running it it becomes a slight milky texture.
Nice 👍 i love little tips and tricks shared to keep these old tractors running!
Nice job. I have the same jig and got it from the same place. My instructions were not as detailed as yours though. I have mine all apart painting everything right now.
Oh nice 👍 that’s awesome 👏
Should have fixed it with flex tape. But nice job! Gonna have a fully restored 8n by the time your done!
Lol! It’s starting to feel that way. 😂
Steady diesel
Steddie breakdowns lately 😂
the rough running issue is probably your points.
I’ll have to clean them again. I did replace the cap with a tractor supply one and it’s looking like possibly it’s not hitting one of the cylinders🤷♂️ will have to tear into it.
You should just go buy a Ford 4000 with independent pto and get rid of those 8n's. They're just glorified lawn mower is all they are.
Yeah I’m hoping to use an Oliver 88 row crop I picked up a while ago. I have to replace the clutch and get the flywheel resurfaced. I Got a book and I am researching it now but hopefully can get that going for next season. I do like the ford 4000. I’ll Have to keep watching at the auctions😉 maybe I’ll find a nice one.
@SteddieProjects an Oliver 88 is a good machine too. At least the 88 has independent pto. Pretty easy to work on too. My cousin has a super 88.
