Andrew, none of my business but that appendage at the end of your arm is not a hammer. Continued use as such will cost you latter in life. A small rubber hammer is a much better choice. Another great video throughly enjoyed by many.

When it's cold spray a little marvel mystery oil in the cylinders and put the spark plugs on the defroster in you truck with something over them and heat them up and then put them in hot it really helps.

Keep up the wrenching and learning! There might not be a big future market for tractor restoration, but the market for the skills you gain is huge! You can get most parts you're likely to need from Tractor Supply, as there were so many built.

The proper way to restore a tractor. Remove the front axle pivot pin. While holding the pin in your left hand, replace everything behind the pin and then reinstall the pin.

That might be an early 8n. The newer ones had the distributor on the side. On my first one someone put a fine mesh screen against the radiator . It worked well to keep the chaff out of the radiator fins while brush hogging fields. I cringed when you smacked the end cap on the starter against the brushes. lol If it ever won't run right, inside the carb throat there ate two tiny holes that can clog up. I use a torch head cleaner , the wires are abrasive to scrape the crap through. Put wedged shaped blocks against the engine and axle to keep it from leaning sideways when you undo the shop crane. Safety tip. Keep making those videos working with your dad, you won't regret it.

It looks like previous owner may have used engine enamel on the manifold and flathead? Manifold paint looks to have burned off? what type of paint was used on the factory fresh manifold for the red color? Also, family members that can change a tire together, stay together, so congrats on having positive relationship w pops.

Thanks for watching in Sweden. I think it would be cool if I could work on an old European tractor! I do have a Ferguson TO-30 in progress. We split it - clutch disk had turned into dust by mouse pee and now I measure about 0.15" movement in the crank. There is part 2 of the 8N where I working on the clutch and brakes. Part 3 of the 8N will be coming soon.

What gear does the tractor have to be in when you’re prying against the fly wheel?
@thesmallenginekid
8 ай бұрын
The flywheel turns when the engine turns. When in any gear (and clutch not disengaged) the rear drive wheels need to move when the engine turns. Sometimes you can free a stuck engine by rocking the wheels when in gear. When prying on flywheel teeth we want the entire force to go to moving the pistons so the tractor should be in neutral.

Just some safety advice from someone who has seen things go South quick, always use some sort of dunnage under jackstands on any type of soil/gravel. Some very thick plywood would do well or a few layers of thin plywood, also you never want to have a lot of weight that high on a jack stand, they get unstable and will wobble/fall. Always expect the worst and you’ll never be surprised.
