Moving rite along, looking good. I think I need to do some of the same with my 8N. It has all kinds of hydraulic issues and a wheel seals leaking. Looking forward to more in this series of videos!

Just wanted to say thanks. I am in the middle of a complete engine overhaul on my 9n/2n and your videos are so helpful. I plan on rebuilding the hydraulics this sumer.

Thanks for the info. i hope to have it up and running next Sunday.

Thanks Jason. This is quite the good course for those if us with 2N s.

Jason just a comment, I have found it extremely helpful in reassembly to use dowel studs to align the gasket and hold it in place and to align covers such as the hydraulic assy. while lowering it in place. I just take low grade bolts cut the head off and chamfer the edge screw a few in depending on the job, using them as a guide, then install the original bolts in the remaining holes remove the studs (finger tight) and put in the original bolts and torque. This holds things in alignment while your are trying to fit other parts on the assembly, works for me! My dad bought one of the first 8N's back in the 40's and I have spent a lot of seat time on one. The 3 pt. hitch and the wide front end allowed us to do things bigger tractors couldn't do such as moving hog houses in a muddy feed lot. It's been awhile as I'm almost 80 yrs. old, but I hope this would be useful to you, working alone calls for ingenuity. Aloha ke Akua

I just finished watching all of your videos and I really enjoy them! Especially the repair series. Keep up the good work!

Nicely done and coming along good! She'll be ready to brush hog soon enough! And to the oils our 3000 (dunno about the N series) has a split box to where both gear and rear end are two separate cases the front used to take gear oil and the back took hydraulic oil which was all fine an well but a long time ago the Ford dealer told my dad to just use the hydraulic oil in the gear case and so he did almost 20 years later and along of hours and work it has no issues. The hydraulic pump is getting weak though so when its cold it won't even think of lifting the arms till it warms up some. Its all in what you wanna run I guess though lol. Great video!

I like the way you do video. Thanks

Nice to see a young man with so much talent restore those tractor's.

Thanks! Great series. Looking forward to axle seals an brakes to help me do my 8N. Like to request that you call out specific seals, brake shoes, etc that have worked well for you.

Jason, I watched the 8N video when it first came out, it's good but I find you new series to be a leap forward in clarity and detail. IF you get a chance while doing part 6 , Please point out 8N tips like you have been. video and audio quality is really excellent.

Here in Canada , mineral oil GL1 is not available , i use GL5 80W90 on my early 8N . My hydraulics are pretty much worn out but your videos are a great help , and i hope to use them to rebuild the system one day .

I pressed my sleeve on. Worked just fine.....

Very clear and down to earth video, awesome series. I’ve been watching your series trying to learn about these tractors that I’ve never touched until now. I have an 8N that has a terrible leak between the top cover and the main casting right around where you pointed out the high pressure passage coming from the pump. I’ve tried to find information on how to test the pressure output to determine if the pressure relief is stuck thereby blowing out the gasket. Can you give me any guidance on this matter? Also, is there anywhere that I can download the manuals for this tractor? Thanks.

Just FYI on the PTO shaft sizes: 1-1/8 inches and the other is 1-3/8 inches. There are also combo shafts that have both. (1-1/8 on one end and 1-3/8 on other end)

Excellent coverage on assembly and oild. Is there an external port plug where hyd system psi can be taken from??

Wish you had a video on Sherman transmission. Just bought a good one. Had quite a time with shifter. Ball detent is really tight. Will try heavy grease. There must be seals in it that should be changed?? Otherwise it's just a job of work.

Jason, what motor oil did you use for breaking in the rebuilt 2n motor? Thanks Randy

Just a quick question. I have a 47 2N I’m working on. The hydraulic system is pretty well wore out on it. It still works but needs entirely gone through. I was wondering if when I do it if I’d be further ahead to rebuild the lift cover and pump from an 8n and switching it over to the newer style to gain position control? Would anything else have to be changed?

Hi there, do you know if a 8n transmission will fit on an Naa golden jubilee?? Appreciate your input, if not, are the gears interchangeable??

How did you get the lift arms off? Mine are seized on .

First I would like to say thanks for the in depth look at this tractor. I am trying to get the lift arm shaft out to replace the hydraulic lift Ram arm. I didn't catch how you got the shaft lose. I heard it was hard putting the sleeves back in and that you needed heat, is that the same process to get them out?

Good morning! I have a 9N, I have rebuilt the hydraulic assembly. Everything works great, the lift arms will raise fairly quick and will pick up anything. But when I hook up the third member or pull on it for that matter it slows down and almost stops and will hardly lift anything. I've tried adjusting it and it goes from one extreme to the other.. Do you have any ideas? Thanks!

Jason, I have a 9N (8N? IDK) with one of those hydraulic pumps on the front to run a loader. I had a sudden loss of hydraulic pressure and got off to check what was going on and the pump, pulley, fan belt etc. were not turning. Motor was running great. After some fiddling I concluded that the main pulley was no longer connected to the crank and was spinning separately. I am assuming that something has happened with the Woodruff key. After a day of fighting to get the hydraulic stuff apart, it appears that to get at the key on the pulley I have to remove the pulley and to do that I have to pull the entire front end of the tractor off. Is that correct? Thanks.

If the three point hitch sinks when I press in the clutch, does that mean the piston, that cylinder, and the rubber seals on that top assembly need to be replaced? When I let out the clutch on my 8N, the hitch rises goes back up again.

I'm working on my 2N (1942) watched some of your videos. just went to look at part 6 and it is unavable now. I need to get into the spider gears. thanks

The updated PTO shaft is 1-3/8"

how do I fix that do I have to replace the pump assy????

PTO housing the bearing in rear, how many PSI of torque?

I watched all your ford videos it was very good. but I have 2 questions? one I seen wear the two washer type gaskets went on the hydraulic but were does the 3rd one go? And two I was running my 9n and with the back blade down .I started to back up and the blade wouldn't lift anymore. so I rebuilt it with new pump and hydraulic cylinder and piston .but it still will not lift I didn't see anything broken or cracked what can I check to fix it thanks

I thought all those pumps where aluminum?.. where'd you get a cast iron one?

good afternoon I have a question hopefully you can help me I have a Ford tractor 8N will work and roll fine just today when I was trying to cut my yard the hydraulic don't want to drop all the way down it stays engaged up, but when I shut it down everything will back to normal and when I restart it and put the level to go down it will up and stay up well could be my problem I already changed the transmission gear oil that I got at Tractor Supply I thought I was going to help it but it didn't what should I do next please help

I know where a 2n is that is yard art I can buy for 200dollars and it smokes but runs and needs front tires. People are poor in Oklahoma and most have more trash than anything!😂
