Evidently you just use a torch to dry up the oil periodically. No need to replace the leaking seal.

I have cheated many times avoiding changing the seals. Similar to this a set of nice dry pads will work a while. Ok for a quick fix. I was hoping this was an actual seal job. Good luck. How you don't have a bad leak and can get away with it for a while. I live in steep hill country. It's time to fix mine. I have no brakes and have to plan an escape route when going down hill. We just mow with our 1949 8N only now. Love this tractor.

Craig Arndt the brake cleaner works great for initial de-contamination and cleaning the hardware. Just fan it out with the flame and you will see how effective it is. I typically use a heat gun, but the torch was more readily available.

If you place a piece of cardboard down underneath the axel and light coat of grease on the area directly under the axel You can easily slide the tire assembly up at spin it too. Keep it vertical and it will go well.

Liam M : I will, in the future get more video of my residential remodels and repairs. It really is a time consuming process to get quality footage to make a video or a series of videos. Right now I am buried in rental remodels..which are a production process that has to move at a frenzied pace. I ended the year thinking I would have the first 4~6 weeks of 2015 to myself...but as soon as I returned home from my Christmas vacation I was immediately hit with two vacant apartments to get remodeled and rent ready ASAP and a third that will come vacant on Feb. 1st....that will keep me running around like a mad man trying to work my trade and keeping my subs on schedule until April. Thanks for hanging in there and watching my videos.

I checked the 9/2/8N tractor forums and service manual and the torque spec for the hub retaining nut is 450 ft. lb. A bit more than you'll get with channel locks. The nut doesn't affect the bearings, it just holds the hub to the axle. You won't get it too tight. Since that kind of torque isn't easy to generate, most guys just use a breaker bar with a 4 - 5 ft. cheater and hop on it a time or two and call it good. Also, the hubs will 'settle in' and need to be re-torqued a couple of times. And make sure the spring clip is on the nut.

I have to replace the seals in mine . My dad put new seals in it in about 1973 ?? I remember we had a wood burning stove in our barn that was made from a 55 gallon drum and he put the brake shoes on there to "boil" the oil out of them . Last year or the year before the valve stem cores in mine rotted away ( I've got the salt water or whatever stuff in them ) . The one tire wasn't full so with the valve stem straight up i replaced it with out a mess but on the other it must have been full and fortunately just as I discovered that my buddy walked in my barn and I said grab that bucket ... and got that new core in . The weight of the tires is the scary part for me . In all the years I've run the tractor I've never really used the brakes to stop , but every now and then I'd tap on one of them to turn .

yourbeekeeper There's a product called 'Rimguard' that's supposed to be very good. It's non-corrosive, non-poisonous, and just as heavy as calcium chloride. It's a by-product of beet processing and known as 'beet juice'. A Google search should fix you up. Finding a dealer might be a stumbling point, but may be worth a look.

What is the state of wear of the pins all along the linkage from pedal to drum? -they are often seized and wear badly, especially for the left brake. Also please check the bush that the pedals pivot on, some have a grease nipple some don't. Do you have a brake spring on the linkage to lift the shoes off or does it rely on the springs on the shoes? -they are often broken/stretched or missing altogether!

Dan Whiteford Hey Dan, It looks like all the brake hardware was replaced at some time...judging by the wear on them, it was likely the last time they replaced the shoes. There are no springs outside of the brake housing, so only the springs on the shoes lift the brake arm.

Brian Niemi I did not make a "how-to" for the replacement of the rear seals. I had never done them before and didn't think it right I try to teach people how to do something that I didn't know how to do. With that being said, it was really a straight forward job. No special tools needed and it all made sense once you started taking things apart. The most difficult was removing and handling those heavy rear tires. The rest was simple.

Outside of the brske installation, there's a pin under the front axle centerpoint that needs to be replaced every now and then. It is positioned front to back, not side to side. When it wears out, thefan on the waterpump drops a little, then it starts to rub on the radiator shroud, then eventually rubs on the radiator. That pin needs to be replaced, and I have no clue how to do this. An old man told me it's in the I and T manual but have hopes someone knows what I'm talking about because I don't.
