39 is plenty. Weren't the old N series Fords rated at like 23 or something? In spite of that they are probably the biggest overachiever tractors ever.

Thought an 8n was like 28 hp but may be wrong, my buddy has 2 one with the high/low transmission.

Love this tractor makes life a lot easier
This is right after I bought the hose attachment

Sounds like the one with hi/lo is a frankenstein? To my knowledge none of the Ford N's or Ferguson 20 and 30 series had dual range. As I recall the Ford NAA/Jubilee and Ferguson TO-35 were the first ones of that family which had dual range.

I also had an 8N with a Sherman over/under. At least, that's what we called it. It was pretty handy considering how ridiculously fast reverse is in the regular range. I don't know if it was from the factory though.

Same here.

Yup. The Sherman had 2 and 3 speed auxiliary transmissions. I have a family member with both.

Grandpa loved those Ns.

A young tech was here the other day. We were gawking at my Ford 1710 os.
He said the gears in the final drives can be switched around for a different ratio.
Something for me to study.

You guys mentioned HP earlier.
I remember in autos the HP measurement changed from crank to rear wheel. Not sure if tractors did the same. That may have been done to dodge epabs. Been a long time since I even thought of that lol.
The old Motors manuals revealed this.

Good thread.

Were the Shermans factory installed? I always thought it was a dealer add-on, like the Harry Ferguson tractors repainted red before they were sold.

 

[Steve]

Not sure when the change happened but all tractors I've looked up are classified by engine HP now. The only specs I can find are engine HP and pto HP. My older tractors like my VAC and the Zetor are rated by drawbar HP and pto HP.



Far as I know autos were never rated by wheel HP in any of our lifetimes. They changed from net to gross or sae but that measurement was always taken from the flywheel.

Pretty sure the Shermans were dealer add ons.

John Deer 110 TLB. Needs some wiring done but great little machine.

 

[lehman live edge slab]

Same here.

Far as I know it was a factory option and it made the tractor much more useful in my opinion being the 8n would do about 30mph in high gear with the standard transmission

I like the old case tractors had a 1943 case sc but it pitched a rod through the block

Also had an allis wd and still have a coop e3
Which is the same as a cockshutt 30. Mine is the rare one with the high low transmission and live pto so I’d like to restore it sometime. Has a 4 cylinder buda engine in it from before allis bought the buda engine company

 

[lehman live edge slab]

Plus the one I can work with instead of work on for now. Like the old stuff but lot of what I had needed lots of tlc and was a chore at times to keep running so I could accomplish something

Just finished rebuilding a 262 Buda in a D17. That is one cool engine.

Hey folks, how would I remove the injector pump from the Perkins AD4-203 for resealing, then reinstall it? I have a reprint of the factory manual for the tractor and it has seriously nothing about this topic. Those old Ferguson manuals are weird in that some topics are completely omitted. One of my relatives has a diesel shop and he should be able to reseal the pump for a reasonable price.

Look up the engine itself online and they’ll probably tell you how to pull it
