    PTO housing help

    I had the exact same problem when I upgraded to the 1 3/8 shaft. I could have taken the time to grind that ridge down a little but didn’t. I was able to get about two threads started on the bolts and then I slowly tightened them in a cross pattern and it drew the PTO shaft in. Now, I don’t know...

    Alternator adjustment bracket

    Your going to need some more brackets. Look at 8n parts on this site and check out the electrical system section, there are several different mounts and top brackets for 8Ns. I think you need the one that bolts to the right front corner of the head. Search Google and also look at YouTube videos...

    Simpson analog multi meters?

    When I was in vo-tech school in the late seventies when I began radio and tv repair, the instructor explained to us not to use the Simpson VOMS to troubleshoot tube circuits (which were right at their extinction level in tv and radio) as they were low(20Kohm per volt) impedance meters and to use...

    Oil coming out of dipstick tube, oil fill tube smoking

    I named my ‘51 8N “Smokey” after I got it running.That thing starts emitting smoke out the breather within 20 seconds. I poured a whole bottle of MMM in the oil after valve job but Smokey’s rings are so shot that you can turn the engine over just by tugging on the fan blades. I could rock the...

    My tractor started by itself, chased me around the playground while a witch sat on the hood playing a fiddle but then I woke up.

    John Deere 80.

    Replaced the PTO assembly in our 560 years ago and that thing was heavy. Strapped it onto a floor jack and wrangled it in there. I thought that was an Ertl pony in the background and then noticed the exhaust stack, air cleaner and lift handle and realized it was the real thing.

    Have your local Ag agent come out and look at it. This is a safety issue(potential washout and derailment in the future)You may have to get your state environmental department envolved or feds if RR ignores you. What they did should have an immediate adverse effect on the safety of that...
