I own a 1950 8N that’s was my dads. He passed a year ago and me and him both spent several hours over several years on our 8N. This channel has given me the excitement and motivation needed to completely refresh it in his name. Thank you both!
The genuine mark of a good Teacher or Professor, is the ability to truly engage your audience, and equally tempered by a bit of confidence as well as intuition. Kudos on a job well done!
excellent video, my name is rick McLeod from McLeod tractor parts In Edmonton alberta. we were in business from 1953 till 2018. im glad to see the interest in this old iron continues with a younger and very informative new generation. well done.
Excellent job! I like how you showed what the parts look like when they are removed and aren't covered in oil. Really helps make the connection to understand. I am using these videos as I piece my 8n back together 😂. Keep up the great work!
Its so nice to see anouther woman working on tractor and such and knowing what she is doing. Most people say i act like a man cause i work on old tractors and cars and trucks. It really bugs me
THANK YOU. I haven't ridden my hobby 9N in a while. Recently reworked the generator and a few things and when I tried to move it the tractor the hydraulics would not work. I thought it was the pump, and came watched your video. Luckily you mentioned foot off clutch and engage the PTO. My PTO was not engaged. I re-ingaged, foot of the clutch and Voila! IT WORKS again.
We were fortunate to get an 8N with the property we purchased. Your “user error” info at time 10:27 or so was exactly what we were doing wrong. The pump only works with the PTO on. That saved us from hiring a mechanic. The hydraulics work very well.
Great video! Question if you don’t mind answering, what got you interested in working on tractors? You have a lot of knowledge about them. Thank you for sharing!
Hi Paul, My dad owned a dealership for all of my "growing up" years; so the interest in tractors came naturally. He is an excellent teacher with loads of patience. -Rachel
@@DanGingell - "I'd sell the farm for a girl like you"... Hey 'Dad'! the ultimate measure of a man is how he raise(s/d) his children - Kudos!... and keep that shotgun loaded, Sir ;)
Ok Thanks to you and great videos.. and some parts.. I have fixed the tractor my dads 9n has a draft control and now only on hydraulic leak on the arm pivot You are a great teacher kiddo.. keep it up
These tractors almost seem so easy to repair. More basic mechanical ? What years are they? Your knowledge and mechanical skills are phenomenal, you make it look so easy. Thank you.
Good job, as I was growing up we had a 8N tractor and the lift never was no count and daddy could not afford to get someone to properly fix it so he got all the information together he could and we were always taking it apart and working on it and it would usually make a little difference in it but it never was fixed properly, it was just always a headache, keep up the good work.
YOUR VIDEOS ARE FANTASTIC - JUST GOT AN 8N AND SOMETHING IS UP WITH THE HYDRAULICS - THIS IS A GREAT HELP - I WILL TRY A FEW THINGS - GLAD I HAVE FOUND A PLACE TO GET PARTS AND ASK QUESTIONS
extremely knowledgeable, very descriptive speaks clearly easy to understand. anything 8n related look no further to expand your knowledge of theses awesome tractor's!!!
هذا من اجمل ما عرفت انت عنوان لكل النساء وانا اقدر هذا المجهود الرائع وانت خير مثال لكل امرأه وكم تمنيت أن تكوني قريبه لكي أتمكن من زيارتك واهنيك على هذا العمل الرائع ونتمنى لكي مزيد من التقدم وكم اكون سعيد عند ما أشاهد فيديوهات الرائعه وانا اعمل في هذا المجال وكم اعرف ما تحمله هذه المهنه من خيال واسع وارجو المزيد من الفيديوهات تحياتي للاسره و كل احبابك وشكرا
Thank you! You've helped me so much with other problems. I just bought my 1952 8n last year and trying to fix the little problems. I changed out my Hydraulic fluid because it sat for 20 years. It will go up but not down on demand. It will go down in a couple days. lol I need help. Thanks
Thanks a lot Rachel! This will be very helpful when I get my 2N running. I know it had hydraulic problem last time it ran, but that was 25 years ago so who knows what it looks like in there know. I will probably need everything you got available. Thanks again, very informative!
Very informative and very well presented!!!! My Ford will not lift my Grader blade without me getting off and physically lifting it. It seems to lift better when it's cold when it's hot. Anyone have the issue?? Thanks again for your videos!!
Impressive knowledge in the details. You wouldn't happen to know why my Kubota front loader has no down pressure to speak of, but the rest of the hydraulics works fine? Thanks for the vid.
I am a mechanic myself, do not really care about old Fords etc...,but I am still watching it. :D I have seen farm girls, but I have never seen such a cute girl interested in working on equipment.
Very nice videos I have watched a few and have learned a ton about my 8n. My hydraulics will only lift about 1/2 way, they did go up all the way twice. Does anyone have any idea where to start ? They only go half way up with or without the back blade on.
Love your store I order everything from there. I don't see anywhere where anyone says how frustrating the hydraulic control valve arms really are on a ford 2n. Especially if you have good steel arms. Any tips or tricks would be appreciated.
This is very informative. I wish I knew how to regulate the height of my lift arms on my 8n. The shaft driving the snow blower gets angled to far when I lift it.
Yes, I look forward to the same. I have an 800 series that only lifts a few inches and very slowly leaks down. And while you're at it making videos, how about rebuilding a head on the Century series tractors?
Thank you for everyone's time. What do you recommend for lift and drop latency? Its about 3 or so seconds. Also, when the tractor is off. The Back blade will drop after a minute or so. Is this normal? Should I change the fluid. Not sure when last time it was changed.
We have an 8N we got when we bought the land it was left in. It runs, the hydraulics work too. I am concerned about the noise when the engine is running, the PTO Is off and I let off the clutch, it sounds like the PTO is still running. When I press the clutch pedal, the sound stops. Also, I changed hydraulic fluid and a small 3/16” diameter x 2” piece of steel came out with the fluid. Should I be concerned about the sound or the piece of steel since everything works good?
Hi great job. Glad I found your tutorial. I have an 8N I just bought, all original. The lift worked but now my 4 ft bushhog is attached and the lift goes up but does not stay up. It goes back down. Any idea what I should check? Thanks and Ill keep watching. Have a blessed day!
Where I live a cherry picker is a man bucket on a crane system for lifting workers to remote work positions. The item she calls a cherry picker is known here as a shop crane. Some call it an engine hoist. Are we looking at Michiganspeak here? BTW I love these Gingell videos. Better than the shop manuals.
Rachel, thanks for the tutorial. It was very helpful. I rebuilt the top lid with a kit from your site. It's a 1952 Ford 8n. The drawbars now have the lift power that I expect. Upon reassembly of the inspection cover, the Sherman high/low transmission seems to be stuck in high! The handle is on the inspection cover. Is there a spring that may have dislodged or did I just miss the groove that the handle attaches to? Thanks.
Hey sorry to bug you. My father-n -law has a 8n and the hydraulics works with a load on it for probably 20 min or so and then it’s like it wants to pick up but doesn’t. We replaced they safety valve and put new ford 90w fluid back in. It helps some but still doing it. We move the lever up and down slowly and sometimes it will pick up. It does fine with out a load. Would you think it’s the pump?
Hey Rachel a question from Denmark, a old Volvo bm 850 I Think, do you know how too change the brake band for the handbrake? Love your shows , I`m a mechanic my self but NOT usual on tractors but i am trying.
Do you have any suggestions on an 8n the goes up when you push the lever forward and down when pulled back. It seems to work fine and doesn’t leak down.
Operator error question that you briefly mentioned. I have a Golden Jubilee and I have never engaged my PTO lever to raise or lower my 3pt yet is does raise and lower. So am I doing something wrong? I am watching your video because I do have issues with the 3pt. Every time I go to use my tractor which is about every other weekend I do have to “air up” the system.
I have a ford 600 that leaks hydraulic fluid from under(?)the pump when I lift the three point hitch up. I feel it is a relief valve? issue. can you give some advice?
Hey, you make fantastic videos. I also have a 8n. I have a quick question. When I engage the pto. It will do about one full spin then stop. No hydraulics at all. Thank you in advance!!
Hello there, so we have an 8n and with ours the arms go up and down no problem. our issue is when using the blade even over soft soil it has a tendency to rice up over rather than staying down. any suggestions? thank you in advance definitely going to watch all your videos on 8n tractors now :)
I bought a 1954 NAA at the beginning of summer. Just got it running and found out the hydraulics aren't lifting. Would I follow this same troubleshooting vid for mine? Thanks.
Rachel. I have a Ford 600 tractor. What is the lever stop called on the hydraulic lever. Next to the seat. My tractor is missing that part. Randy from Michigan Go BLUE.
the trouble shooting part is the difficult part of any repair, unless the break is in your face obvious with the broken parts laying on the shop floor.
My 3 point on my 8n will not lift the arms if it's just idling, it will lift and remain lifted if it's in gear. It will go up and down fine if in gear. It won't do that in neutral. Is that normal? Sorry, first tractor newbie.
My To 30 will not release the lift slowly with a load on it. Drops completely when control lever is pushed all the way down. Control lever becomes spongy close to bottom. The pump works good and holds the implements up without dropping. Any suggestions.
Sure wish I would have watched all the way through before starting, now I’ve got both wheels off and almost broke my hip, no idea how I’m gonna get them back on, but it looks like I have a lever issue so far, I’ll take the top lid off this weekend and make sure the pump is actually pumping.

Hey rachel, thanks for the video. It helped alot but I have a question. Have you ever removed the hudralic oil tube in the center housing? Mine has a hole in it so I'm trying to remove it but have had no luck. Thank you

Rachel is a delight. She is obviously not acting, she knows her stuff. On top of that, her presentation style is very clear and concise.
I would pay money to see her when she was about 5 years old following her dad around....
No she's not you pervert
A real American girl

Hi Rick...I'm in Seba Beach...where would a guy find a parts dealer for an 8n in the Edmonton area in 2021?
Any Case New Holland dealer as CNH bought out Ford’s agricultural division.
Really like how she shows how to preform repairs without a whole bunch of special tools. Nice! 👍
I love this channel, you are very thorough with your explanations, no nonsense, no half assed shortcuts. Keep up the excellent work
Excellent job! I like how you showed what the parts look like when they are removed and aren't covered in oil. Really helps make the connection to understand. I am using these videos as I piece my 8n back together 😂. Keep up the great work!
My Oh My…. I have met very very few people in 69 years that have such instructional mastery and knowledgeability… customer for life, thank you
Rachel ,is a awesome mechanic ,so meticulous !!! I've watched her for hours
Very well done! I've been putting off the hyd repair of my 8N for years....Much better understanding of how it works now.
Sounds like you have had a lot of hands on with these. Excellent video without a lot of nonsense. Thank you.
Its so nice to see anouther woman working on tractor and such and knowing what she is doing. Most people say i act like a man cause i work on old tractors and cars and trucks. It really bugs me
Great information for sure. Love to see these old tractors coming back to life!
@Dan Gingell and Rachel Gingell, thank you for posting the new video about the pump repair! As expected, it was great!
THANK YOU. I haven't ridden my hobby 9N in a while. Recently reworked the generator and a few things and when I tried to move it the tractor the hydraulics would not work. I thought it was the pump, and came watched your video. Luckily you mentioned foot off clutch and engage the PTO. My PTO was not engaged. I re-ingaged, foot of the clutch and Voila! IT WORKS again.
I am one of your hugest fans you are so incredibly smart and able to get things done you have taught me so much from the bottom of my heart thank you

Wow...I watched this to better understand how my hydraulic systems works. Very fascinating. Thank you.
Rachel is the best! Very good teacher!
I recently purchased parts from these folks to rebuild my 8n. Very good quality parts, and the videos are helpful too. My tractor works like new!
I love watching all of her and her father's videos I just wish they did other Ford tractors like the 1920 in the 2120
You are the bomb! Thank you for your professional disposition and sharing your information so intelligently

@@DanGingell My dad farmed, so naturally my interest came from running them. Unfortunately he was a lousy teacher with absolutely no patience! (lol)
Perfect timing for me to discover these informative videos. I'm going to check out a '53 Jubilee that has hydraulic lift issues .
Ok Thanks to you and great videos.. and some parts.. I have fixed the tractor my dads 9n has a draft control and now only on hydraulic leak on the arm pivot You are a great teacher kiddo.. keep it up

Dang fine videos Rachel Thank you from Northern New Mexico Farming town "The beautiful Espanola Valley" Agua es Vida (water is Life)...
Thank you so much for your informative videos! I recently took possession of a Ford 800 and your depth of knowledge is extremely helpful!!
I took care of 5 IH Hydro 86's. The hydraulic pump was on A side cover a cessena gear driven. Easy to R/R
Had an encounter with one of those. Had to drain about 25 gallons of hydraulic fluid before I could pull it off.
So very helpful, excellent job Rachel !! 😊
Very informative and very well presented!!!! My Ford will not lift my Grader blade without me getting off and physically lifting it. It seems to lift better when it's cold when it's hot. Anyone have the issue?? Thanks again for your videos!!
Impressive knowledge in the details. You wouldn't happen to know why my Kubota front loader has no down pressure to speak of, but the rest of the hydraulics works fine? Thanks for the vid.
As I recently learned, all of what you've said about the hydraulic valve and arms is equally applicable to my Ferguson TE20.
We'll, I just learned the solution to a problem I had 20 years ago. :)
Young lady you're awesome . your parents should be very proud of you. You're not even my kid and I'm proud of you.👍👍👍👍👍

Wow Rachel. You are worth your weight in gold.
Fantastic job! Really helped me 😊
Awesome video.She knows her stuff.
Can you modify the system on the 8N so the lift works with the clutch disengaged (live power)? Thanks, I enjoy all your videos.
Thank you very much for all the valuable info !!!!!
OMG, you guys are in Metamora. I am in Oxford.
This is very informative. I wish I knew how to regulate the height of my lift arms on my 8n. The shaft driving the snow blower gets angled to far when I lift it.
Can you make a Ford hydraulic troubleshooting guide that covers the Jubilee please?
Yes, I look forward to the same. I have an 800 series that only lifts a few inches and very slowly leaks down. And while you're at it making videos, how about rebuilding a head on the Century series tractors?

You can engage pto and spin shaft by hand to check pump out put without squirting oil all over
Do you have a video like this for the NAA tractors?
Thanks brother first tractor ever and I just learned a lot
Got an 8n recently. Didn't see any piston leak. I think it's the relief valve. Looks like some of this will be in my future.
Hey! Michigander here too! Wish we lived closer would love to pick your brain!

Link to the hydraulic pump video isn't working. Thanks for the amazing tutorials!
Same for me
so young but yes you know what ya talking about .. just had to second guess this old man thanks kid
Is a 600/800 series hydraulics video coming soon?
I have an early Ford 8N. The arms are lifting, but they do not hold their position. Any suggestions where to start?
I am SO impressed!

Nice video! Thanks again! 👍🏻🇺🇸
My Massey 282 hydraulic has gone down twice since 1984 can you give me advice what was the problem yes it was made in Mexico. Thanks
Do you have this for the Jubilee so I can do mine?
the trouble shooting part is the difficult part of any repair, unless the break is in your face obvious with the broken parts laying on the shop floor.
My 3 point on my 8n will not lift the arms if it's just idling, it will lift and remain lifted if it's in gear. It will go up and down fine if in gear. It won't do that in neutral. Is that normal? Sorry, first tractor newbie.
My To 30 will not release the lift slowly with a load on it. Drops completely when control lever is pushed all the way down. Control lever becomes spongy close to bottom. The pump works good and holds the implements up without dropping.
Any suggestions.
Sure wish I would have watched all the way through before starting, now I’ve got both wheels off and almost broke my hip, no idea how I’m gonna get them back on, but it looks like I have a lever issue so far, I’ll take the top lid off this weekend and make sure the pump is actually pumping.
