I just binged watched the series. My wife came down the stairs and told me she knew what I was thinking and that I am tooooo old to be fooling around with something that age. I pointed out the year of the tractor on the monitor ....and ran for the door. Take a WILD guess what year she was born!!! HaHaHa!!! I think I'm sleeping on the couch tonight. (sigh, again) LOL!!! Thanks
HAHAHAHA I LOVE THIS COMMENT!! I’m going to pin it at the top, hahah
I love these videos. It shows that anything can be fixed without having a $200k shop, fancy tools. Just the bare necessities just like Henry Ford designed them to be, simple and efficient. Farmers have been working this way for years. Liked, subbed, and dinged! Nice work, keep em coming.
you got that rite brother!! thank you so much!!
What a great series of videos on the rescue and rebuild!!! I just finished binge watching (and subscribed of course). I was born in 1951 and grew up on a Minnesota farm where a Ford tractor with a loader was a dependable and flexible workhorse. I learned to drive it at age 7 and was proud as could be, that I could help with the never ending work around the farm. Thanks for the great content and the walk down memory lane!!!
Great job, you brought the old girl back to life.
Thanks I use it all the time 🙂
AWESOME!!!!!!!!
😊
Lo mejor que he visto en video de TH-cam,, nice, se toma su tiempo paso a paso,, trabaja con lo mínimo de herramientas y sin taller, felicidades
👍
GENIUS!!! Pure, unadulterated, genuine stem-wound, solid gold GENIUS! In a Post-Apocalypse world, we would want to be in the surival community where Darrell is located. He would be indispensable for his knowledge, ability, problem-solving skills and his willingness to share his gifts. Thank you for your excellent videos and for saving "old iron". ❤
thank you so much!! that means a lot
I have always wanted an 8n ever since I drove one when I worked on a farm about 50 years ago....I enjoyed all 4 of your videos... Thanks for the memories.
Thank u very much I love comments like this
Beautiful
Thank you
For someone who has never maintained a tractor or repaired anything agricultural I would say apart from just a few things who have done extremely well 🇮🇪.
thank you soo much my friend!!
My guess is the throw out bearing? Buying a 8N and using your videos to rebuild the tractor. Thank you very much for doing this. Recommend putting weight on the front of the tractor if pulling heavy items. Tks for sharing.
Thank you very much if you have any questions feel free to ask me however it was not to throw out bearing it is some thing in the transmission I’m pretty sure it is the needle bearing or thrust bearing on the PTO shaft I was gonna make a video on it I just have a lot of projects going on at the moment
Concur. 8Ns get light on the front end.
I live in South Africa and I have an old Grey Fergie ted 20 .Everything works on but still needs a bonnet and a paint job. Wish I could afford to import a 8n or 9n from America. It seems we don't have them here. Enjoyed watching your videos, I got excited for the start up.
thank you so much my friend. I really appreciate it.
My sister was around 8 and I was around 9 . We had pegs on inside of wheel wells to hold chains. My uncle told her to get off and she jumped off which let off the clutch. It was in reverse and ran tire into my uncle on right side. He grabbed on to peg and the wheel went between his leg. He went for a ride with wheel between his legs. I caught up to the 8n, jumped on and pushed down the clutch. He was shaken up but fine. I miss being on the farm. We had 3 of these, but 1 was bought later and never did run right.
dang that’s a crazy story 😳
Nothing better than the sounds of crickets while working at night….you get a lot done. The crickets help.
hahaha
I just want to thank you for all your incredible videos. The music and the film work is always outstanding. I have learned a lot watching your videos. You should at least have 100k subscribers!!!
Wow, thank you!
I hope you find time to do the full restoration. You do good work, and I would like to see what it take to go through one of these. Looks like a fun project and super useful to have on the property.
Good jobs
thank u very much
I have rebuilt a LOT of engines and you did a good job but If I was that far into that engine I would opted for liners and new pistons. Then you wouldn't have to wonder how long will my repair last. Oil pump had enough wear to not prime. It don't take a lot of wear. One thing though and that is NEVER put oil or assembly lube underneath a bearing. This surface should be absolutely clean and dry. You are inviting a spun bearing. Just finished rebuilding a 1971 2020 Deere. Complete total rebuild of engine, head, and injector pump everything was 5600.00 . Rather have it than a brand new one...
yes you are correct I actually bought new pistons, liners, gaskets and everything I still got it all in a box but it runs so good I haven’t installed any of it, I think I actually wiped the oil off the crank bearings off camera as I realized it wasn’t a good idea I just didn’t want it to rust. great info and tips my friend!
great job
thank you
Anytime you have an engine or transmission out you should replace the throw out bearing.It’s cheap insurance so you don’t have to go back in there because bearing squeals or gives you other problems. Especially when it is in a tractor that you have to split in to. Just a word to the wise from an old guy!
you are correct but I know a lot of people think it’s the throw out bearing but I assure you it’s not, it sounded bad in my hand cause I just cleaned it with brake clean and it had no oil, once I greased it it was silky smooth. the noise that the tractor is making is coming from the pto cover I’ll have a video coming out soon about it.
Drove a 641 home to my uncles farm from an auction when I was about 10 years old. Spent many hours farming with that tractor
The model 641 has "live hydraulics", you can raise the implement up with the clutch dis engaged. Not with the 8N. That's a little unhandy with certain implements.
At 70, I still have that tractor!
that’s awesome lyle
I wish the 8n had live hydraulics!! I have a old Ford jubilee with a broken camshaft that I mite do a video on repairing, it’s like a 641
throw out bearing, i believe if i was that deep into it i would have put a new one in, love what your doing
thank u so much! I checked it was actually really good , in vid it was dry
Great job! Another 8N lives!
Thanks for the visit
These old Ford 8N tractors bring back special memories for me. My grandfather, my late dad's father, had a '51 or '52 Ford 8N that he bought used sometime in the late 1950's after my mother and father got married in '55. My sister and I grew up in southwestern Ohio about 3 and a half hours away from Papaw and Granny's homestead farm in Log Lick, Ky (outskirt of Winchester) so we only visited two or three times a year but we loved going back there back in the day because it was a great place to visit. They lived on about 150 acres where as we grew up in a rural neighborhood in Ohio so big land and farm equipment was something we weren't around much. Anyway, when I was about 10 years old when we went back to visit for a couple days around 1978 I bugged Papaw to take me for a ride on his tractor and sure enough he took me out and sat me on the seat and proceeded to show me how to start it. He sat me on the front of the seat in front of him and showed me how to pull the choke out, how to adjust the throttle and then let me step on the starter button. I can remember it almost like it was yesterday and after I got it started he took over, raised the rpm's a bit and proceeded to drive the tractor down by the barbed wire fence line that ran down their old drive or lane. He had a sickle bar mower attached to it and lowered it (hydraulically) and we slowly ran down the fence line cutting tall grass and weeds along it. That was an experience and I've never forgotten it and some day I'd like to own some land and get an old Ford tractor just for old times sake 😊 but my favorite old tractors are the old 1930s John Deere twin cylinder (Johnny Popper) styled or unstyled so one of those would be on the list also. Hopefully one of these days (I'm not getting any younger 😑.)
Thanks for the videos 👍
Throw out bearing noise. Also if you plan on using a bush hog be sure and get an override clutch for the PTO. It will push you through a fence. Don’t ask me how I know. Old Ford tractors are work horses. Nice job
lol that actually almost happened to me to haha
Great job! With a rope seal, I was taught to install it in the block and cap and cut it flush. Then off set it so that the parting line is inside the groove by a 1/2" or so. This helps prevent the seal from leaking significantly. Thanks for taking the time to film it all!
great tip
Awesome, really good result, great job,thank you for sharing, I learn a lot, you are a very good teacher. 👍👍👍👍
Thank you Carlos
On my 1951 8N, I ended up drilling a 1/8 inch hole in the casting where the tappet sits andwith a 1/8 pin punch I was able to hold the adjustable lifter still while I used a very thin open end wrench to turn the tappet screw.I couldn't get the tappet wrenches to work, the new ones are not made as well as the ones from the 90s and earlier. Rachel Gingell has a video on her YT page on how and where to drill the holes, you have to measure carefully using the diagonal slots in the tappet body. It's exhilerating to have that engine fire up without hesitation when starting for the first time.
My most favourite rebuilding video❤️
Omg!!! Seriously??!!! Thank you soooo much!! I’m so happy you enjoyed it!! That comment just made my day!! 😊
@@TheHomePros6221 yeah!!. I really enjoyed da Ford 8N tractor video series.
My brother has the same tractor in mint condition. 2 years ago he installed a Pertronix electronic ignition module. Says it’s rhetorical best money he ever spent. Quick install and inexpensive. Ditch the points.
yes I’ve been looking at those
That was really a good buy. Good work.
Thanks 👍
I owned one in the 70s ,great little tractor. Be careful pulling large logs they will flip over on top of you.
yes thank you so much for the tip
Yeah it’s a bit freaky when you pull a wheelie and that’s what I was doing. Pulling a tree log, keep the 3 point hitch down before dumping clutch.
I am new to this channel and love it. I appreciate all of the manual labor put it to them. I enjoyed the tractor series, great job!
Thanks for watching!
Having done this many times it was fun watching and not getting my hands dirty . Lol
Had I been there I couldn’t have just watched . I couldn’t let you have all the fun !
Enjoyed your video and hope she gives you years of reliable service . 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!! thank u so much!!
I have a 51 8N, always doing the same thing. Currently giving mine a rework. Had it for 25 years. Go easy pulling on those trees. Your a better mechanic then operator.
haha common now give me some credit I was just messing around 😊
8N is good tractor. A tank of gas will last forever. Sleeves can be replaced in engine cylinders too. You will enjoy it and they start easily in cold weather. Good for small farms for all the chores. Sounds like the throw out bearing is a little noisy and the carb may need a little work to get rid of the sputter. 3rd. works well to pull trailer, etc. 2 nd works well for scraiping, plowing, etc. 4th for highway for about 10 mph maybe. It will not drive like a car and will tend to weave around at higher speeds, that just an 8n.
thank you so much!! it’s a pretty good tractor I use it all the time I plan one one day making a video restoring it 😊
About as real as it gets. Nicely done.
Thanks🙂
Enjoyed the video. Thanks. 😎
Glad you enjoyed it thanks a bunch!!
No idea why you don't get more views. Your stuff is gold. I'll be watching as long as you keep making them.
Thank you for your kind words comments like this are what really keep me going thanks Dan !!
To avoid scratching the crank with the rod bolts put neoprene hose over the bolts
The N Tractor Club,Yesterday’s Tractors, and Just 8Ns are great sources for valuable information,parts, and manuals.. NTC and YT have free forums that are a gold mine of information. I have a ‘49 that I am doing a complete engine rebuild on. Get a service manual if you don’t already have one, the I&T FO-4 ( for 9n,2n, and 8n) is a good one.
Thank u very much!! I will def be going to those!
You did do a great job and the video’s gave a good impression how you fixed everything. Chapaeux!
Thank you!
If you use a short bristle artist brush (harbor freight), putting gasket sealer on the surfaces will be a lot better and the distribution is much better. Much more efficient than a screwdriver or your finger.
great idea the only reason why I don’t do that is cause the hairs sometimes pull out and get stuck in the sealer and also you would have to use anew brush each time unless u clean the brush. however still great idea and I will prob start doing this
@@TheHomePros6221 Only use the one's with the black short bristles (I should have said this). They are synthetic and in my experience won't pull out from the shaft. My Ford Racing Aluminum Windsor 427 was built using them (648 flywheel HP). The sealer is spread evenly with no lumps or gaps.
Awesome yes I need to order some them brushes
Enjoyed your journey with this tractor.
thanks a bunch!!
Well done showing and doing the repairs. Your 8n will outlast anything being made today. Long gone are the days when a tractor can be repaired with basic tools. Also the immortal words of "here goes nothing" I have said many a time but when that engine turns over for you makes it all worth it!
thank you so much!! there’s still a lot to do but it’s coming along!
I take my hat off to you brilliant job
thank you so much my friend!! I really appreciate it!!
what a great story
Thank you my friend
WOW! Nice series. I gotta go back and watch the others. Been wanting a small Ford or Ferguson 35 for my small farm i recently moved too in East TN.
This video gives me inspiration. Thank you and keep them coming. Hope you get many views from this!!
thank you so much my friend!! that means a lot!!
I really enjoyed your build. FINE JOB
Glad you enjoyed it thanks a bunch!!
Good job.. But I was yelling "Replace the throw out bearing...lol
thank you very much!! yea it sounds bad in my hands but that’s cause I cleaned it with brake clean and it was dry, once greased it was silky smooth
This really took me back to my childhood. We hauled logs and firewood with a few 8ns. great tractors.
childhood was the best times!! miss those days
Just binged the series. Brilliant work. She is a beauty. Great job as always. Keep up the great work.
Glad you enjoy it! thanks a bunch!!
Great series. Excellent work on this old tractor. Looking forward to watching the restoration videos.
Pack the oil pump full of light grease or Vaseline. It will start drawing oil as you are starting it. Just a suggestion. I learned that from an master mechanic in the 1960's.
yes, that’s a great tip. However, if you check out my other videos rebuilding this tractor, the oil pump was shot.
@@TheHomePros6221 Yes, I saw. But the new one, I should tell you that we put the oil pump disassembled in a bath of oil before assembly. Then pack it full of grease after and during assembly. I did a O/H on a Farmall and a Massy Ferguson the first 2 weeks I worked there and I learned to respect the master mechanic in the first few minutes after unloading my few tools. He made me the mechanic I am today.
@@gtnaylor5870 that’s awesome!! So what I did was use a really think tacky assembly lube and before I started the engine I took the oil lines off and used a large syringe type thing and squirted pressurized oil into the pump and whole system which worked really well it had instant oil pressure when I cranked it up
@@gtnaylor5870 yes sir good tips👍🙂
Good Job young man! That's quite an accomplishment
thank you so much my friend,I truly appreciate that!!
good video enjoyed it a lot, very interesting
Glad to hear it!😊😊
Love seeing old stuff put back to use so happy for u
thank u so much!! comments like yours are what keep me going!
So true.
I did what you are doing with Ferguson 20’s and 30’s after I retired and hauled 2 at a time w/assorted implements to Alaska for my son-in-law to help them financially, and to get to see my grandchildren 😊. I also did 3 Ferguson 35’s, but they didn’t require too much work, only 1 needed a clutch plate (and throw out bearing that was not buttery smooth). I didn’t want the customer in Alaska wanting me to drive up from Wa. State with a clutch problem of any kind. And and my son-in-law who had done a Ford 9N total rebuild and paint would probably been contacted as he did most of the selling of the tractors and implements that I hauled up. I kept enough of the profit to pay for the drive up and back and gave the rest to him and my daughter. None of the 10 tractors ever got a call of complaints to my son-in-law, made him and me both happy 😊😊.
Don’t use plows and blade in the upper hole of top link, that is expressly for light implements that only have light draft like cultivator. Using a blade on it will break the top holes off. Too few have the third hole anymore because of that
My father bought a 52 8N brand new. $1300 with a Sherman transmission. I still use it for small jobs. Great tractor. Use our 2 big Kubotas for heavy work.
that’s awesome!! wish times were still like when u could buy a new tractor for that and things were made very well in the usa
I'm looking for an old Ford tractor to tackle myself. I've learned a lot from watching the series. I rejoiced with you when it fired up. Hope you get lots of service out of it. Keep up the great work! God bless and stay safe!
thank you so much!! if you do get a tractor try and get one with live or separate hydraulics like the jubilee and many others, it’s not crucial but it makes it much easier to grade and use a box blade with it
20 minutes in but I'll have to come back to it tomorrow. The joys of long working days travelling. Great video so far Darrell, looking forward to her firing off 🙂👍
enjoy your travels Dave!! I wish I could travel and go on a nice vacation rite now!
@@TheHomePros6221 just back. Must hook up the trailer in the morning and go and get my next project!
Great video!!!!!
You either had an old farmer in the back ground or this is not your first motor.
You have a lot of knowledge for such a young man.
Tools you get what you pay for 🙂.
How old are you and how long have you been married. This is the first video of yours I have watched. Will definitely watch more. Good Edditing skills also.i grew up on a 53 jubilee. Brings back a lot of good memories!!!!!!
Thanks for the video 🙂
Thank you soo much!! I’m self taught my dad has no mechanical skills at all, I’m 36 and have been married for 6 years now. I’m actually going to be doing a similar video on a 53 jubilee!! I have one with a broken camshaft and will be fixing it in a upcoming vid so be on the look out for that later 🙂
You wouldn’t ask a bishop those questions 😀😀😀
@@michaelwalsh9145 haha
Awesome!!! Job well done! Wish I had your patience.
Aw man thank u!! I had more patience before I started having my heart and blood pressure issues ☹️
I just got around to watching the last video in this series. Thank you for taking the time to record it and admire you for taking on this project. A word of caution on these tractors, when pulling on something that does not want to move, pull it from the front. These tractors can and will flip over if you are not careful.
thank you so much for taking your time to leave such a wonderful comment! I truly appreciate it!! and yes it can be very dangerous and flip back… and that doesn’t sound to fun!
Reverse is almost the same gear ratio as 3rd gear on these. So you will loose some pull.
Original instructions for these tractors even suggest reversing before driving forward on winter mornings in case the tires have frozen to the ground to avoid turnovers.
Nice job buddy. Thought maybe you would paint it while you had it apart. Glad to see her running.
Yes that will be a whole video in itself, wanted to get it running first, I did paint some parts like exhaust and generator..ect
nice to see someone puttering and getting her done, nice job.
thank u very much!!
I'm an old guy now but spent way too many hours on an 8N when I was a teenager. It was fun to watch your video series but I'm not giving up my new Kubota 4X4 with power steering. LOL
you got that right? I’d love to have a new Kabota tractor like that.
Thanks for posting an update, music to my ears after that thing fired up... So cool that u straight started pulling trees with it :D
Hahah yea she’s got some pulling power! Now I just gotta get her running smoother and check the tranny.... looks like she’s gonna be a labor of love lol
Or a money pit
@@TheHomePros6221 heh. My tractor has this rock crushing sound when in gear and pulling stuff. Did take a look into it early on when i got the machine. Everything looked fine and it's been working fine ever so still feels like grinding rocks in the tranny lol (a bit overstateing here but still)
Oh wow! I’ll be digging into mine shortly hopefully I can figure it out
Great rebuild !!
thanks
Thx for good vids. Amazing how much you accomplish with so little. Keep em comin.
Aw man thank u very much!!
Good day Home Pro really enjoyed the video I was glad you got it running right off the bat ! Don’t worry about having to open her up again that life it has happen to me too! But I don’t mind I would rather spend my money and time on something worth while then on something where there’s never going to be a return! I noticed that the tractor was discharging and you may already know this but the N-series tractors were originally positive ground.That grinding noise in the transmission isn’t normal I have one that’s making the same noise so I have to split it for the second time I can’t quite figure out what it is but it is more than likely a bearing. I don’t think it’s the release bearing because it would only make noise when the clutch is employed not when you let it out. But I was glad to see you enjoying it and I was glad to hear that you want to completely restore it the tin is in great shape and I look forward to seeing the videos you will make of the restoration and please do make a video of the box scraper restoration I enjoy fabrication so that would be great. I have had good luck ordering parts from Dennis Carpenter but everyone has there own experiences ordering parts it can be very disappointing. But it’s not a perfect world.Question did you have a thermostat in the upper rad hose? If not I would suggest getting one and I always install a temperature gauge I cut a piece of copper about 3-4 inches long drill a hole in it and soldier in a fitting for a sending unit and I install it I the upper radiator hose between the head and the thermostat and then mount it in the dash. Or you can drill and tap the left side of the head in front of the oil canister mounts there’s a flat spot on the head just below the neck.That way you can keep a eye on the temperature and then it will break in the engine properly. But I am so happy Another Ford 8N saved from the wrecker!
thank you so much for your wonderful comment!! the ammeter is broken so it’s not working correctly but I do plan on putting in a temp gauge also. I should have some videos out shortly of working on the transmission I’ve been very buisy on various projects so stay tuned! thanks again!
Cool series you had with this tractor getting it broke down and put back together. Well done!
Thank you very much!! It’s been a lot of work and still a lot to go
Just found this series. Nice work on the 8N. It appears you have one with live hydraulics. I understand some early tractors had to be moving to raise the arms. I couldn’t get used to that. Not having live pto is inconvenient but workable. Get an overspin clutch so the momentum of the rotor on a brush cutter doesn’t run you into a creek or tree or house. Cool old iron.
unfortuently this does not have live hydraulics 8ns didnt have that
good to see the old girl running again. good job brother. looking forward to seeing more vids
Thank u so much mike!
Great camera work...even better with the tools. You've done fantastic work there.
Thank you very much!☺️
We have a 9N. Our Neighbor had an 8 N, but he drove it for years running on 3 cylinders. He is dead now, but he did finally get it fixed a few years before He died.
They are great tractors I use mine all the time
pretty cool. neat little tractor. glad to see it running . I'm interested in any video you post.
Aw man thank you so much!! That really means a lot to me!
What a good series this was, pleasure to watch. Thank you and take care.
Thanks, you too!
ooooh, I just saw a rookies mistake, you should have put some hoses onto the rod bolts as you installed the pistons so the crank did not get scratched or nicked, hopefully you might be all right, maybe!
I was very careful
Pretty good video. I enjoyed watching.
thank u very much!! I’m really happy to hear that
It’s a transmission thrust issue. Main shaft probably has to much end play causing the gears to “rub” together causing the noise.
you are correct
Nice job, thanks for sharing your experiences. I appreciated your all your comments and the reasons why you made certain decisions along the way. Looking foward to you pulling it apart and putting in the sleeves.
Thank u very much!! I appreciate your kind words!! Means a lot !
@@TheHomePros6221 You inspired me to get my own "Project". Here is a short intro clip. th-cam.com/video/E_wjvwpvTxw/w-d-xo.html
Awesome!! I tried to comment but it wouldn’t let me
@@TheHomePros6221 Thanks for pointing that out. I just fixed it. I had mistakenly set for appropriate for kids.
Marty,, great vid mate. Simplicity. Our women talk about pms but when us men talk about it they get upset saying you don't understand. I take great satisfaction in saying "we mean Planned Maintenance Schedule. Lmao.. til next my kiwi friend.
Hey brother I think this comment was ment for Marty t?
Sorry friend. Must've changed before I commented. Thanx
@@bardricmacgregore4863 no worries 👍
Yep I agree with Butch thinking that noise is the throw out bearing. Lots of work but you did a fantastic job. I would try to break the engine in by just driving it around for a while before putting it to work. Just my thoughts. Great video. Looking forward to next video's.
thank u so much for watching!!
Very very cool project. Congratulations. My dad had an old Case tractor and I loved that thing.
thank you very much!! it still needs a lot of work but it’s coming along
Good job, I enjoyed the videos, thank you.
Glad you like them!
Loved this video series. You should go to Yesterdays Tractor forum and read the posts about head bolt lubricant. You may also consider using new head bolts as well.
Thanks for the tip!
Excellent job!
Thank you very much!
Brilliant series of skillful rebuilding, and video/editing. I felt you joy when she started. One suggestion, and this is not a criticism, but many mechanics will place some vinyl tubing over the connecting rod studs while tapping the pistons in place in their bore. It prevents inadvertent scratching of the crank from steel hitting steel (which I have done, unfortunately) and the tubing can be easily pulled off to attach the rod caps. Looking forward to your other videos. Kind Regards, Craig
thank you so much for the wonderful kind words!! I actually usually do that with the tubing but this time I didn’t I just went really slow and careful, thank you so much for watching and commenting I truly appreciate it!!
You may try draining the transmission and refill with a heavier weight oil witch is also the hydraulic oil also 👌
I should have a video coming out looking into the trans and fluid and all 🙂
Just started watching your vids. Trying to catch up, great job on the tractor.
Thank u so much my friend!!
Nice job
thanks!
you know, I like your assembly lube you've been using, never thought of using that stuff! I have always used STP oil treatment!, it's about as thick as you lube!
Thanks Ernest it’s some good stuff
I changed oil in my newly acquired 1951 8N and found there is no screen in the oil pan. I was told it wasn't important. Now I know better and next oil change I will install a new one. Same issues as you with ordering parts. Ordered oil cap filter and oil cartridge, got two oil cap filters. The order picker needs to put his bluetooth away and pay attention to his job!
Yes it’s very important and it’s only like 20 bucks for the whole thing. I just had like the same thing happen lol good help is hard to find nowadays
Nice job!
Thank you Dave!
The gasoline now is rough on those old caburators.
Sure is
A carbide gasket scraper makes short work of removing old gaskets, much easier than using razor blades.
Seeing the gear shift move, I believe it is a bad input shaft bearing and maybe the thrust bearing too. I would replace both as soon as possible or it will start to put wear on the gears. I am 64 yo and grew up on a farm and have seen this before. We fixed our own equipment. Also, we had the same 8n tractor just for pulling flat bed wagons into the barn but, we never had too many problems with "that" tractor. Mostly had problems with the John Deere tractors.
my thoughts exactly!! that’s awesome man!!
Finally got around to finishing watching! Great job Darrell! Can't believe how easily she fired up. Wouldnt worry about that noise, its just the release bearing, they can go on for years like that. I have a Land Rover discovery TDV6 in at the moment with one that loud! PS I brought something new back on the trailer Saturday, video to follow shortly 🙂👍
thanks for watching Dave!! I can’t wait to see what u got!!
The year I was born, my Grandfather bought a 1949 Ford 8N which he used until his death after decades of farming with it. Most likely, when you disassemble from the top box cover, you're going to find a broken flat needle thrust bearing on the input shaft has separated. Not really a critical part to operation, simply a source of noise itself. If you can separate the pieces with a magnet (may require you to use diagonals to cut the remaining bearing frame segments), you won't have to disassemble the transmission. Drain and replace the transmission fluid, along with using a small magnet with a swiveling head to remove any lingering pieces from the bottom of the case. The noise will likely stop and the adjoining two gears will not require the thrust bearing for operation.
@@richardgreen7811 Normally I would agree with you however, seeing the gear shift move, I believe it is a bad input shaft bearing and maybe the thrust bearing too. I would replace both as soon as possible or it will start to put wear on the gears. I am 64 yo and grew up on a farm and have seen this before. We fixed our own equipment. Also, we had the same 8n tractor just for pulling flat bed wagons into the barn but, we never had too many problems with "that" tractor. Mostly had problems with the John Deere tractors.
