    ....oh P.S. noticed you draining antifreeze and getting it all over your hand. Grease and oil is fun but coolant is another matter. Antifreeze even in low quantities will cause renal failure. Your skin will absorb it through pores and especially if there are any small cuts in your skin. Please stay safe.

I can't wait to show them a pretty young lady can be a great mechanic. Teaching my 11yr old nieces that they can do anything boys do and probably better has been a goal of mine who thank you for helping prove that true!

    I have three Ford tractors one 1956…. 850 and two 1957 850s.
    I am 73 years old and I have driven the 1956 850 that my father purchased new since I was eight years old.
    It was rebuilt in 1996 and is running just fine today.😊🥰👍

    I haven't been on a Ford 8N since the summer of 1966 working in my parents' orchard in the Canadian Okanagan Valley, before heading back to Vancouver BC for second-year university. The 8N is a very simple machine of clever design, easy to use, easy to maintain, but underpowered by modern standards & a bit of a gas-guzzler. Both my brother & sister inherited the fruit-growing bug, but migrated to diesel John Deere machines in the early 1970s. Those machines are still working well after almost 50 years, albeit with a few relatively major rebuilds {hydraulic subsystems, PTO clutches, etc}. Thankfully they don't have any on-board computers - no "right-to-repair" issues!

    I found out about using over sized pistons the hard way. To make it a bit easier to extract the sleeves we would run a few beads of weld the length of the sleeve. When it cools it shrinks the sleeves slightly. I did just that only to discover the block wasn't sleeved.

    We had an 8N when I was growing up. It had been modified by Ford, to use a flat head 6 cylinder engine. Adapter piece for the engine to transmission was about4 inches thick, and steering gear, stabilizer bars were extended with added pieces that were included in kit. The hood also had an extra extension on it, so it covered back to the steering assembly.
    I haven't seen any of them on here at all. Wondering if they are still around.

    The 'dad' commented the lifters had been change to the adjustable kind. That entire valve assembly and adjustable lifter had been used by Ford since at least 1937, in the flathead V8. Your tractor is a lot newer than 1937. I assisted with the rebuild of my granddads 1952 8N in years past, I'm 75 now, and it also had the same adjustable lifter. The guy I was helping didn't take the C-clips out to remove the valve assembly instead, he compressed the valve springs and removed the keepers off the valve stem. What a mess that was!

  • @l0jack
    @l0jack 5 місяців тому

    My 8N has excellent oil pressure 20-40lbs depending on temperature and rpm, but it’s a real oil burner. However, it runs very well and has decent power. I was thinking it may be the rings and purchased a compression tester. Just haven’t had time to tackle it yet, but I’d love to rebuild it.

  • @jayss10
    @jayss10 2 роки тому

    Some important notes that missed.
    1. Part where you block the tractor for pulling the front axle. I would strongly recommend that you also chalk/block both rear tires. Because your pulling the motor leaving it in gear may not be enough to keep things from moving if some big dummy happens to lean on the tire.

    We just moved to Goodrich, MI, and have a small farm off Dutch Road.
    We stopped by the Steiner store in Lennon, Mi, and boy were we disappointed in the rudeness of its sales staff.
    My husband took a picture of me sitting in the store and the sales clerk said there's no taking photos inside the store! He further went on to say they signed legal documentation to prevent photos from being taken.
    We were berated and made to feel shame... (We won't be going back there again, and they should have a sign that says no cameras allowed!). Shame on Steiner ...
