    ....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 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.

    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.

    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!

  • @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.
