    8N51 New Hydraulic pump.

    I have finished up my 960 project and I am going back to work on my 8N. Years ago I rebuilt my 8N hydraulic pump but I found that the control valve had what I would describe as cavitation marks. The valve was no longer smooth and round but had a worn groove. I have used the tractor this way even...

    Source of a 3 Post (correct) starter solenoid.

    Can anyone confidently tell me where to purchase the correct 3 Post starter solenoid for my 960? Per the shop manual the starter cable connects to the left and the battery and alternator cables connect to the right. The small post is supposed to be connected internally to the right post so that...

    Ford 960 Power Steering Hydraulic Hose Replacement

    I have to share this experience replacing my Power Steering Hydraulic Hose. The Hose I had was in pretty good shape but due to the 3/8 tube connected to the Pump the hose would kink during a tight right hand turn. Messick's says the original hose is no longer made but they have one available for...

    Ford 960 Row Crop vertical exhaust alternative?

    My original vertical exhaust used the Elbow Muffler Outlet Pipe Support, #311929. Unfortunately the casting is broken and I wanted to replace it. YT does have what I need on the web site but it is no longer available. It seems no one on the internet has it in stock any longer. I can make my own...

    Fender Rivets

    Does anyone have a good hack to remove the rivets from the fender support frame? I want to do some weld repair on the sheet metal and removing the frame will make my job easier. I will use bolts to reassemble when the work is done.

    960 Power Steering Pump bracket Spacers

    I have disassembled the Power steering pump and brackets on my 1957 Row Crop 960. I have found that the three studs that hold the bracket to the pump were installed incorrectly by the previous owner. This resulted in a Frankenstein spacer arrangement on the bracket connected to the Timing gear...

    Hi all. I have been participating on the 8N site for a few years and I have recently purchased a new project and this is my first post on this site. I am just starting to tear down a 1957 960-5 Wide Front Row Crop. I am starting to find that all gaskets are not available but, I am getting pretty...

    Diesel tractor governor correct operation

    I realize this site is not the correct site but I respect the advice of people on this site. My question is: How does a governor work on a diesel engine? More importantly should the engine respond to decreased load and increased load just like the governor on my 8N52? I am trouble shooting a...

    Oil Filter Canister

    This weekend I have been spending time at Pioneer Power show in Le Sueur Minnesota. I of course check out all the Ford tractors to see what I can see. I ran across an early 8N, front distributer, where the owner removed the oil filter and in it's place was the oil pressure gauge. No oil filter...

    8N52 Breaks

    I have metal on metal rubbing when the right breaks are used. I investigated the problem this spring and found the pads still look brand new and all springs are still intact. The rubbing is coming from the metal edge of the break pad rubbing up against the shoulder of the break drum. I ground...

    Oil/Oil Pressure

    I have been tinkering this summer trying to tune the oil Pressure on an 8N51. Currently I run a 15/40 Diesel oil and the original oil relief valve spring. When cold the oil pressure gage, at all RPMs pegs out but, after the oil is warmed up and running at working RPM the pressure drops to a...

    Beet Juice Ballast

    This last winter I reported I had Beet Juice added to the rear wheels of my 8N51. Yesterday I received 40 tons of crushed rock for our private road. I am here to report that the added weight is a game changer. Wish I would have done it sooner! JB

    Beet Juice

    Brought the 8N51 in to have Rim Guard Tire Ballest, Beet Juice, added to the rear wheels. Of course I had to pick the coldest day of the winter! -5F and the Old Girl started right up. The addition of 350#'s per tire, 12.4x28, amounted to a total price of $329.28 out the door. By the way the...

    Welder Recommendations

    For those of you with welding experience: My welding experience is limited but, many years ago I did take a class at the Vo-Tech. In that class I learned stick welding and gas welding. Currently I am thinking of purchasing the old school Lincoln ACDC stick welder. BUT then there are tons of the...

    1964 Ford 4000 serial number records

    I am a regular user of the "N" Forum but I thought I would reach out to the "Ford" forum. I am in search of a 1964 Ford 4000 gasoline Row Crop Select O speed tractor that my Dad purchased back in 1964. I was naively thinking this tractor looks like the 40 year old memory in my head. But 40 years...

    Ball Park cost estimate.

    For those of you that have had this done by a independent machine shop. What is a ball park figure to expect for a block cleaning and inspection along with turning a crank? I would do all other work. I found a shop I like but they are reluctant to give me a price until I deliver the block and...

    MS Carburetor model differences.

    Currently my 8N51 has a TSX33 carb that has been rebuilt and runs good. According to the shop manual my tractor should have a TSX241B. If I set the main jet too lean the tractor hesitates with sudden acceleration or load. I can fix the hesitation problem by adjusting the mix richer. Since I am...
