MODEL 8N



Fig. FO1 - Front axle as used on model 8N.

Note hole spacing of tread adjusting bolts.

FRONT AXLE

1. The front axle is constructed in three sections and may be adjusted to vary tread width. See Figs. FO1 and

FO2. Steering linkage must be readjusted on model 8N when tread width is changed. Model

2N - 9N wheel alignment is not affected by tread width adjustment.

SPINDLE BUSHINGS

2. To rebush axle spindles, first block up tractor front end and remove steering arms.

Slide spindles with wheels attached, out of axle ends.

Drive old bushings out of axle and install new bushings, using a piloted installing tool. New steel bushings are presized and

AXLE PIN BUSHINGS

3. Remove front hood bolts at bottom and block up under hood. Hold up front end of engine with jack under oil pan and unbolt axle support. Remove two bottom radiator bolts and raise engine and radiator high enough to permit removal of axle center pin. Remove pin, using hand crank as show in Fig. FO4.



STEERING SYSTEM

The steering gear on models 2N-9N consists of two sector gears and integral arm units, both meshed with a steering shaft and pinion assembly. Gear units are mounted in a housing Fig. FO5, which also serves as a transmission case cover. The gear housing is constructed in two parts and also supports the instrument panel

Fig. FO6.

The steering gear used on model 8N tractor is a Saginaw screw and recirculating ball nut type, mounted on top of transmission housing.

ADJUSTMENT & OVERHAUL

6. ADJUSTMENT. The steering shaft bearing may be adjusted without removing gear unit from tractor. To adjust steering shaft bearings, remove steering wheel and shaft bearing dust cover (19 Fig. FO7). Remove locknut and lock washer (1). Adjust lower nut until end play is removed and shaft still turns freely. Install lock washer and locknut and tighten nut.

Detach drag links from sector arms and check backlash at arms while steering wheel is held stationary. If excessive sector gear backlash or end play exists, it will be necessary to remove upper gear housing (11) to gain access to sectors for adjustment.

6A. To clear upper housing for removal, it will be necessary to remove hood, battery and instrument panel.

When housing is off, invert same in a vise and place both sectors (15 & 26) in position, meshed with steering shaft pinion (14). Check gear mesh and backlash with sectors held in normal operating position. Thrust washers (25 &

– steering gear with upper

27) which are available in three sizes; thick, medium and housing removed.

thin, should be installed according to requirements, for minimum sector end play and backlash. Reinstall assembly after adjustment is complete and synchronize gears.



When early model 9N steering gear is turned to either extreme, severe steering conditions may cause sectors to jump out of mesh and result in an uneven turning radius. To synchronize sectors without removing steering housing, disconnect both drag links at steering arms an move left arm rearward as far as possible, and right arm in opposite direction to un-mesh gears. Re-engage both sectors with steering shaft pinion and check synchronism by observing whether steering arms are parallel and point slightly rearward, when gear is in mid or straight ahead position. Reconnect drag links and adjust same if necessary.

6B. OVERHAUL. To completely overhaul the steering gear it is necessary to first

remove the unit as per paragraph 6A. Renew

worn parts and install new oil seals.

Model 8N Prior to 216989

– unit with attached instrument panel.

On tractors prior to serial 216989 the sector teeth are straight cut and the left sector (viewed from rear of tractor) meshes with the rack teeth on the ball nut. Refer to Fig. FO8. The right sector meshes with the left sector and rotates in the opposite direction. On tractors after serial 216988 the arrangement is reversed as shown in Fig. FO12A, the right sector being meshed with the ball nut, and because the sector teeth are of the bevel type a different method of backlash adjustment is employed.

FO-4 I&T (Remastered Ver.1.2 ) 05-24-2015 steering wheel is held steady to prevent movement of worm. If any backlash is felt, proceed as follows:

Fig. FO8 - Disassembled sector shafts of ball nut gear used on model 8N tractors prior to serial 216989. Later type is shown in Fig. FO12.

8. SECTOR MESH ADJUSTMENT. Remove four cap screws from left (viewed from rear of tractor) sector shaft cover Fig. FO8. Rotate cover and metal gasket counterclockwise (viewed from left side of tractor) as far as possible by hand and reinstall cap screws in four matching holes. Recheck backlash and if none is present, proceed to adjust right sector in a similar manner, rotating right sector shaft cover clockwise to remove backlash instead of counter-clockwise. IF BOTH

SECTOR ARMS NOW HAVE ZERO BACKLASH, STEERING GEAR UNIT IS COMPLETELY ADJUSTED AND

WORM SHAFT END PLAY ADJUSTMENT OUTLINED IN PARAGRAPH 9 WILL NOT BE REQUIRED.

Adjustment is correct when pull required to rotate steering wheel through mid or straight forward position is not less than 2-1/2 or more than 6 pounds with drag links disconnected. Measure pull with a spring scale hooked to rim of steering wheel and read scale when wheel is in motion. With adjustment of right sector loosened, correct scale reading for worm shaft and left sector after adjustment is

2 to 3 pounds. When all of the backlash of LEFT sector can not be corrected by foregoing adjustment, any remaining free motion is probably due to excessive worm shaft bearing clearance. If that condition exists, rotate both sector housings opposite the directions given for backlash adjustment, to relieve load on worm shaft, and adjust worm shaft bearing clearance as outlined in next paragraph.

FO-4 I&T (Remastered Ver.1.2 ) 05-24-2015 arms, and with both sector adjustments loosened, check worm shaft bearing adjustment by pulling up and pushing down on steering wheel. If looseness is present, adjust bearings to a slight pre-load by removing a shim or shims from top face of gear housing, after first removing steering gear cover and tube assembly

Fig. FO10. To clear gear assembly for removal, it will be necessary to remove hood, battery and instrument panel.

Bearing adjustment is correct, when pull required to rotate steering wheel through center or straight forward position is 1-1/2 pounds with drag links disconnected and sector mesh adjustments loosened. Measure pull with a spring scale hooked to rim of wheel and take the reading while wheel is in motion.

After completing worm shaft bearing adjustment, readjust backlash of both sectors as outlined

in paragraphs 7 and 8.

11. OVERHAUL. Hood, battery and instrument panel must be removed before steering gear unit can be removed. After unit is cleared for removal, disconnect both drag links at steering gear arms, unbolt steering gear unit from

shaft housings to gear case. Remove both sector gears and covers from sides of gear case Fig. FO8. To facilitate removal of these sub assemblies, turn them clockwise and they are withdrawn. Remove shaft tube flange cap screws and lift assembly off of gear case. CAUTION: Do not turn worm shaft if nut is near either end of worm as ball retainers may be damaged.

New sector shaft housing inner bushings are pressed into housing 1/8 inch below face of hub . Outer bushings are installed flush or slightly below bottom of dust seal counterbores. Bushings should be align reamed to 1.125 1.126.

NOTE: Do not disassemble the unit shown in Fig. FO9. Any derangement of excessive wear in any of the components of this screw shaft and ball nut assembly is corrected by renewal of the nut and shaft unit Ford part 8N3575 as the individual parts are not catalogued.

Install worm shaft and nut assembly with nut positioned at approximate center of

worm and adjust worm shaft bearing end play as described in paragraph . After


FO-4 I&T (Remastered Ver.1.2 ) 05-24-2015 bearing adjustment is completed, hold ball nut and rotate worm shaft until nut center tooth aligns with center of left sector shaft opening. See Fig. FO10.

Assemble left sector shaft (three large and four small teeth) and its housing to gear housing, with center tooth of three large sector teeth meshed with center space of teeth on ball nut as shown. The sector housing is installed with locating

notch at bottom. Adjust left sector backlash as described in paragraph 8.

Assemble right sector, meshing center tooth of same with third tooth space on left sector gear, counting from solid section of gear located on bottom as shown in Fig. FO10.

Right sector center tooth is marked on end of tooth and left sector tooth space is similarly marked. Adjust backlash as

described in paragraph 8. Fill

gear housing with SAE 90 oil through filler hole in side of housing and reinstall assembly.

Right sector screws FIG. FO12A two full turns after loosening the lock nuts. Check adjustment of wormshaft bearings by pulling up and pushing down on steering wheel. If any up and down play is present, adjust to zero end play by varying the shims located at bottom of steering tube and cover. Adjustment is correct when the pull (measured at outer end of steering wheel spoke) required to keep the steering wheel in motion after it has crossed the mid or center point, is 1/2 to 1-1/2 pounds measured with a spring scale. Shims are available in thicknesses of .002, .005, .010, and .030.



13. SECTOR ARMS BACKLASH. Before adjusting sector mesh, make sure that wormshaft

bearings are correctly adjusted as outlined in paragraph 12. Make sure that drag

links are disconnected at sector shaft arms and back off right and left side sector adjusting screws (Fig. FO12A) two full turns. Turn steering wheel to mid or wheelsstraight-ahead position. Now, using a screwdriver rotate the right hand sector adjusting screw (viewed from rear of tractor) until all backlash is removed from right sector arm. Correct adjustment is when 2 to 3 pounds of pull is required to maintain the steering wheel in motion through the straight ahead or mid-position, drag links disconnected and opposite sector adjustment backed off. After adjusting the right hand sector as just mentioned, repeat the procedure on the left sector. A pull of 2-1/2 to 6 pounds (measured at rim end of wheel spoke) should be required to maintain the steering wheel in motion through the mid or straight-ahead position after both of the sectors and the steering post bearings have been adjusted and drag links disconnected.

Fig. FO11 - Disassembled worm shaft for steering gear used on 8N prior to tractor serial 216989. Nut (3539) and steering shaft (3524) are not sold separately.

14. OVERHAUL. Major overhaul of gear unit necessitates the removal of the unit

from the tractor as per paragraph 11. Procedure for disassembly is self-evident.

Any derangement or wear in any of the components shaft and ball nut assembly (5

Fig. FO12) is corrected by renewal of the assembly as the individual parts are not catalogued.



Select and insert shims (9 Fig.

FO12) between underside of inner head of lash adjuster screws (2) and slot in sectors to provide zero to .002 end play of adjuster screws in sectors. Shims (9) are available in thicknesses of .063, .065, .067 and

.069.

TOE-IN ADJUSTMENT

15. Toe-in is adjusted by varying the length of the drag links. Models

2N 9N drag link is adjusted by disconnecting link front end, loosening lock clamp and screwing link end in or out as required. Model

8N drag links are provided with turnbuckle type adjustment and do not require disconnection. The wheels may be aligned approximately by adjusting drag links until spindle arms are centered over the radius rod to axle member bolts or the reference marks.

Correct toe-in is 0 to 1/4 inch.

ENGINE AND COMPONENTS

R & R ENGINE WITH CLUTCH

20. The engine and clutch assembly may be removed as a unit. Drain cooling system and oil pan. Remove hood, disconnect battery ground strap and cable at starter.

Disconnect distributor and generator wires and cable at front end and swing wiring out of way. Block up under transmission and support engine with a chain hoist.

Disconnect radiator hoses, clutch linkage and front axle support. Disconnect front end of radius rod and mating drag link on either side, then swing axle and front end assembly away from engine. Remove cap screws holding engine to transmission housing and separate engine from housing. Reinstall engine in reverse order of removal. See Fig. FO13.

CYLINDER HEAD R&R

21. Drain cooling system, remove hood and upper radiator hose. Remove ignition cable harness and cylinder head stud nuts. Remove cylinder head and gasket. When reinstalling head, tighten center stud nut first and progress alternately to ends



VALVES

Inlet & Plain Exhaust

22. Inlet and exhaust valves are not interchangeable. Valves removed for grinding or refacing should be reinstalled in their original location. Valves, guides and springs are removed from the top after cylinder head and valve chamber covers are off and valve guide retainers are out.

Use a hook type puller as shown in Fig. FO15 to extract retainers from valve guides, then remove each valve, guide and spring unit from cylinder block with a jack type lifter as shown in Fig. FO14. Renew valves having deeply pitted or warped heads or stems that are bent or scored or worn. Reface inlet and exhaust valves to an angle of 45 degrees. Correct valve tappet clearance cold is .010 to .013 for inlet and from .014 to .016 for exhaust valves. On engines with non-adjustable type tappets, grind valve stem end to correct insufficient clearance or grind valve head or seat faces to correct excessive clearance. Use a lever type tool to reinstall valve guide retainers as shown in Fig. FO16.

of correcting the clearance. Correct valve tappet clearance is .010 - .012 cold for inlet and .014 - .016 cold for exhaust valves.



EXHAUST ROTORS

23. Some 8N engines are equipped with free valve type exhaust valve rotators which are also available as a kit for engines not so equipped. Kit contains among other items, 8 adjustable type tappets (pushrods), 4 exhaust valves equipped with special caps and horseshoe type spring retainers as shown in Fig. FO17. Tappet clearances of .010 - .012 cold for for inlet and .014 - .016 cold for exhaust valves are same as on non-adjustable tappets, but rotator caps must be adjusted as outlined in

paragraph 27.

VALVE SEATS

24. All tractors except model 2N tractors within the serial range of 86271 to

168259 are equipped with inlet and exhaust valves seats of the hardened insert type. Model 2N tractors within the preceding serial range are equipped only with exhaust valve seat inserts.

available; inserts may be removed as follows: Drill two holes partly through insert on opposite sites using a drill smaller than insert width, then crack insert at holes and remove the two halves. Counterbore in block must be .0015 to .003, smaller than measured diameter of new seat insert. Pack new insert in dry ice for at least 15 minutes and then drive or press it in place, making certain that it is bottomed and not cocked. After insert is installed, grind the seat to 45 degrees angle using a seating stone. If a seat cutter is used, each valve should be lapped in its seat. Seat width should not exceed .125. If seat requires narrowing, use a

30 degree stone for top of seat and a 60 degree stone for the bottom.

VALVE GUIDES AND SPRINGS

– serial 42162 are made in halves, and should be kept together with the mating valve, to maintain stem to guide clearance. Later production guides used in model 8N tractors after serial 42161 are one-piece type. Valves used with two-piece guides have a stem diameter of .311; stem diameter of valves used with one-piece guides is

.341. Stem to guide clearance wear limit is .005 for inlet and .006 for exhaust valves. New guides or guides with least wear should be used with inlet valves.



The one-piece valve guides can be installed in engines originally equipped with the two-piece type. If valve rotators are not included in the change-over, it will be necessary to use the same valve springs as used for the two-piece type of guide.

Fig. FO17 - Free valve type exhaust valve rotators used on later engines and available in kit form for early engines.

Springs in tractors with twopiece valve guides should test 37-40 pounds @ 2 1/8 inches; for one-piece guides

41-44 pounds @ 1.80 inches.

Renew valve springs if protective pain coating is lost or if tension is less than specified.

VALVE PUSH RODS (TAPPETS)

26. Valve pushrods (tappets) are of the barrel type. On tractors built prior to 1951, the tappets are of the nonadjustable type, later tractors are equipped with adjustable tappets.

Adjustable type tappets can be installed in engines originally equipped with the non-adjustable type, and this change-over is recommended.

Adjustable tappets are also included in Ford Special

Equipment Kit 8N6546B which provides special exhaust valve rotators. This kit can be installed in 2N, 9N and early 8N tractors. Tappet clearances (gaps) of .010 - .

012 inlet, .014 - .016 exhaust, cold, are used on both types of tappets.

– needed for adjustment of Ford engines with adjustable type tappets. A regular tappet end wrench should be ground off as shown in upper left.

Method of adjusting the adjustable type tappets is shown in Fig. FO18. Required are


FO-4 I&T (Remastered Ver.1.2 ) 05-24-2015 a left hand tappet-holding wrench Ford 8N17046A, right hand tappet-holding wrench

8N17045A and a conventional tappet wrench ground off so that it does not extend past the adjusting screw.

– cam, the rotator cap gap can be measured as shown. If gap is correct, valve will have an up and down free play or travel of

.0002 - .004.

27.

FREE TYPE EXHAUST VALVES.

On engines with free type exhaust valve rotators (Fig. FO17) a gap or end clearance of .0002 to .004 must exist between cap and end of valve stem as shown. One method of checking this gap with valve installed in engine is show in Fig. FO19. Valve must be off its seat when making this check. If clearance is more than .

004, reduce the length of cap by lapping open end of same on emery cloth laid on a flat, smooth surface.

If clearance is less than .002 install new valve keys or, if keys are not work, grind end of valve stem until specified clearance is obtained. For additional data on various types of valve rotators, refer to STANDARD UNITS manual.

TIMING GEARS AND COVER

28. To remove timing gear cover, drain cooling system and remove hood and radiator. Block up under front end of engine behind axle support and remove bolts holding support in place.

Disconnect front end of drag link and mating radius rod on either side of tractor and swing front end assembly away from engine as shown in Fig. FO13. Remove distributor, fan and generator on tractors prior to serial 263844; on later tractors, generator removal is not necessary. Remove hand crank jaw and crankshaft belt pulley. Remove gear cover cap screws and pull cover off engine.

28A. The camshaft timing gear is made of aluminum alloy material. On early model 9N tractors, camshaft gear is tightly pressed on shaft, and requires special fixtures for proper installation and is usually removed with camshaft as an assembled unit.



On later tractors the gear is bolted on and may be removed without disturbing camshaft. Cam gears are available in the bolted-on type in two oversizes: .006 and .012.

Camshaft gears of the pressed-on type are supplied for service. However, service camshafts for this type of gear installation are discontinued, and only camshafts of the bolted-on gear type are supplied.

Renewal of crankshaft gear requires use of puller and removal of front main bearing cap and oil pump assembly. When reinstalling camshaft gear, mesh timing marks on gears as show in Fig. FO20 and use extreme care so as not to injure or scrape the comparatively soft tooth faces of the camshaft gear.

CAMSHAFT R&R

29. Remove the timing gear cover as outlined in

paragraph 28. Remove cylinder head and valves. Lift

push rods out of bores and pull camshaft out toward front. Renew camshaft if journals are worn and measure less than 1.795 or if cams or journals are scored or corroded. Install camshaft in reverse order of removal and mesh timing gears as in Fig.

FO20. Check camshaft end play by measuring clearance between rear of camshaft gear flange and boss on engine block through governor opening or after removing side gear cover as shown in Fig.

FO22. If more than .004 clearance exists, use a thinner timing gear cover gasket or renew the cover. Check valve tappet clearance and respace or readjust, if necessary. For service, only the bolted-on gear type camshaft is available.

– play exceeds .006 when checked as shown, install a thinner gear cover gasket or a new cover.

ROD & PISTON ASSEMBLIES



30. Piston and connecting rod assemblies may be removed from the top, after cylinder head and oil pan are off.

Identify unmarked pistons and rods to correspond with cylinders in which they are installed, reinstalling them in same relative position occupied before removal. Install connecting rods with numbered sides toward camshaft and oil squirt holes to the front or rear. On aluminum pistons, assemble pistons to rods so that notch in piston head is toward timing gear end of engine. Tighten connecting rod nuts to 35 40 foot pounds.

– used in models 2N-8N-9N.

NOTE: Pistons must be removed carefully to prevent breaking ring groove lands when passing ridge which may be present at top of cylinder.

PISTON RINGS

31. Two compression rings and one oil control ring are used on each piston., Ring gap should measure .010 to .017. Top compression ring side clearance should be within the limits .0015 - .003; second ring clearance should be within limits .001

- .0025. New rings are marked to indicate top side and are installed accordingly.

Counterbore must be up on top ring. Second ring is provided with an expander.

SLEEVES & PISTONS

– iron sleeves in later production tractors. Engines with iron sleeves can be identified externally by the diamond before and after the serial number, which replaces the star used on engines with steel sleeves. The outside diameter of iron sleeves in approximately .098 larger than steel sleeves, hence, the diameter of the bores in the cylinder block equipped with iron sleeves is about .098 larger than the block bore of engines equipped with steel sleeves. Iron sleeves are also flanged at the top. Installation of iron sleeves in a block originally equipped with steel sleeves necessitates the reboring and counter-boring of the cylinder

block as outlined in paragraph 33. Bare pistons are not catalogued but pistons

with fitted pins and pin retainers are furnished standard and in oversizes of.020,

.030 and .040.



32. Steel sleeves are removed from cylinder block with a crushing tool. Drive tool to bottom of cylinder and lift out the collapsed sleeve. Install a new sleeve using a suitable piloted arbor as shown in Fig. FO24, then check installation with a plug gauge or new piston and feeler of correct thickness. If recheck shows new sleeve was buckled during installation, it must be removed and a new one installed.

– prevent wall buckling of steel cylinder sleeves.

Fig. FO24 - A piloted mandrel is used to prevent wall buckling of steel cylinder sleeves.

32A. Iron sleeves should be removed from block using a sleeve puller. They should be carefully installed and checked for bore distortion after installation. If check shows sleeves have distorted or if piston skirt clearance is less than specified below, they should be final sized with a suitable cylinder hone.

Check pistons and sleeves for scoring, out-of-round and clearance condition against the values as listed.

33. Iron sleeves can be used for servicing an engine originally equipped with steel sleeves. When making this conversion, observe the following: First, measure the outside diameter of the iron sleeve, diameter of sleeve shoulder, and height of sleeve shoulder. Then, adjust the boring equipment to provide the iron sleeve with a .001 press (interference) fit in block bore. Adjust the counter-boring equipment to provide the sleeve shoulder with a .001 - .003 standout above top surface of cylinder block, and a .003 - .006 side clearance of sleeve shoulder in block


FO-4 I&T (Remastered Ver.1.2 ) 05-24-2015 counter-bore. It is suggested that .060 on the diameter be removed for the first rough cut, and approximately .035 for the second rough cut. The finish cut should be made to provide the sleeve with a .001 press fit.

After installing the iron sleeve, use a suitable hone to final size the sleeve to correct distortion and also to provide the correct piston skirt clearance as listed

in paragraph 32A.

33A. FINAL SIZING OF SLEEVES. Use a rigid type hone and No. 220 grit stones. A drill with a speed of 250 to 450 rpm should be used to drive the hone. The stones must be used dry to obtain the desired cylinder sleeve finish. Cover the crankshaft with clean rags.

NOTE: The speed of the hone and rapidity of the stroke govern the crosshatch marks on the sleeve. The crosshatch marks should intersect at approximately

90° for proper ring seating.

Operate the hone through the bore 10 or 12 complete strokes. Remove the hone, clean

the sleeve with dry rags, and recheck the piston fit as per paragraph 32A.

Repeat the above procedure until the necessary amount of material has been removed

for the specified piston-to-bore fit as tabulated in paragraph 32A.

CAUTION: Do not use gasoline or kerosene to clean the sleeve walls after the honing operation. Solvents of this type will not remove the abrasive but will further imbed small abrasive particles into the pores of the cylinder sleeves.

33B. CLEANING AFTER HONING. After the honing is completed, clean the cylinder block of all foreign materials as follows:

Wipe or remove as much of the abrasive material as possible.

Swab each sleeve wall with clean SAE 10 Engine Oil at least twice.

Wipe the oil out of the sleeves with clean rags.

Wash the sleeve bores with hot soapy water.

Flush water jackets to remove foreign material which might cause excessive wear to the water pump.

Remove the rags from the crankshaft and wash the crankshaft off with hot soapy water.

Dry the cylinder block thoroughly, using compressed air.



34. Pistons are either cast steel or aluminum alloy. Aluminum pistons should be installed with notch in piston head nearest the timing gear end of the engine.

PISTON PINS

35. The .750 floating piston pin is retained by spring steel lock rings, which should be renewed if they are removed for any reason. New piston pins are available in Standard size only. Pins for aluminum pistons are 2.844 long and are painted pink for identification. Pins for cast steel pistons are 2.972 long and are painted green for identification. With both piston and pin clean and at the same temperature, the pin should be a thumb push fit in piston pin bores. Pin fit in rod bushing is correct, if pin drops slowly through bushings of its own weight.

CONNECTING RODS AND BEARINGS

36. Connecting rod bearings are slip-in precision shell type, held in position by lock tabs which fit into cutouts in connecting rod and cap bore. Bearing wear is corrected by installing new bearing shells which are made to close tolerances and do not require final sizing. New inserts are available in Standard, .001, .002, .

005, .007, .010, .012 and .020 undersize. Connecting rods and bearings are the same for all cylinders. Piston pin bushing in connecting rod is available in .729 Inside

Diameter. Bushing oil holes, located by holes in connecting rod, are drilled after bushing is installed. Rods may be installed with oil squirt hole facing forward or backward.

CRANKSHAFT AND BEARINGS

37. The crankshaft is supported by three bearings of the non-adjustable slip-in, precision shell type. Bearing wear is corrected by installing new bearing shells without removing crankshaft. Bearing inserts are available in Standard, .001, .002,

.005, .007, .010, .012 and .020 undersize and do not require final sizing. If crankshaft journals or crankpins are out-of-round more than .0015 or tapered more than .001, the shaft should be reconditioned or renewed. If journals are work evenly and not out-of-round or tapered more than mentioned, undersize bearings may be installed, providing main or rod bearing clearance does not exceed .005.

Crankshaft end play is controlled by side flanges on center main bearing. On early


FO-4 I&T (Remastered Ver.1.2 ) 05-24-2015 production engines, the main bearing caps were held in place by studs and nuts; laster production engines use cap screws which can be substituted for studs on engines not so equipped.

CRANKSHAFT OIL SEALS

38. Front and rear crankshaft oil seals are two piece, moulded packing ring type.

Renewal of upper halves requires removal of crankshaft. Front and real lower seals are mounted in oil pan and may be lifted out when pan is off. Soak new seals in oil for 2 hours before installation.

FLYWHEEL

39. Flywheel may be removed after clutch is out, using a suitable puller or by tapping with a soft face hammer. Two dowels are installed in crankshaft flange to located the flywheel. Flywheel runout should not exceed .005 and is checked at rear face of flywheel, 1/4 inch in from the beveled edge. The ring gear may be renewed by the conventional heating and expansion method after flywheel is off. The clutch friction surface of flywheel may be resurfaced if it is scored or grooved, providing the thickness of flywheel, measured between friction surface and mounting flange surface, is not reduced to less than .855. Tighten flywheel self-locking cap screws to 75 80 foot pounds.

FLYWHEEL TIMING MARKS

39A.

Flywheels as installed in production models 8N prior 263844, 2N and 9N engines are not marked to indicate piston position. Model 8N tractors after 263843

(with angle drive distributor) are equipped with flywheels which are stamped with a

“O” mark indicating top center position and with additional stamped lines from one to 20 degrees. These marks appear in two places on the flywheel, 180 degrees apart.

OIL PAN

40. The cast iron oil pan also forms part of the tractor frame to which the front axle support is bolted. The oil pump screen is a part of the oil pan drain plug and may be cleaned after plug is removed.



The oil pan is removed by supporting engine with a chain hoist or by blocking up under transmission housing and removing pan bolts. It will be necessary to also unbolt axle support, disconnect radius rods and move front end assembly forward to clear the pan. Crankshaft front and rear lower oil seals are carried in grooves in oil pan.

OIL PUMP

41. Oil pump body is part of front main bearing cap and can be removed after oil pan is off. Pump is gear type and is driven by crankshaft timing gear Fig. FO25. Pump pressure is regulated by a spring loaded plunger type by-pass valve, located on top left side of gear cover as shown in Fig.

FO26.

If driven gears in pump body are worn, pitted or chipped they should be discarded.

Recommended running clearance of gear shaft in bushing is .

0005 - .0015. Discard fiber drive gear and shaft assembly if gear teeth are worn or damaged or if shaft journal surface is roughened or worn to less than .560 diameter. The drive gear shaft bushing should be renewed if worn to larger than .566 diameter. New bushing should be sized after installation to .5625 - .563 to provide desired .0005 - .0015 clearance on a new shaft.

CARBURETOR

42. The carburetor is a Marvel-Schebler up draft type and is provided with throttle and choke controls located on steering column and instrument panel respectively. A removable fuel strainer is provided as a part of fuel inlet elbow on carburetor. Make sure that packing in drain hole at bottom of carburetor is in place or dirt and dust will be drawn into the system. Float setting is 9/32 inch from nearest face of float to gasket face of throttle body.

Production model 2N and 9N tractors are equipped with a Marvel-Schebler model TSX33 carburetor. Production model 8N tractors prior to 276115 are equipped with a

Marvel-Schebler TSX241; 8N tractors 276115 313112 are equipped with a TSX241A; and 8N tractors after 313112 are equipped with a TSX241B. The model TSX241B carburetor is currently supplied for servicing all tractor models.

Only the idle mixture jet and the main needle nozzle of the calibration of models

TSX241A and TSX241B are renewable. Neither the throttle body or the float chamber portions of the carburetor are available separately. Refer to Standard Units manual for calibration data.





GOVERNOR

43. The governor, shown in Fig. FO-28 is a variable speed, ball type, driven by engine timing gears and interconnected with the throttle linkage and carburetor throttle valve. Splash lubrication is provided from timing gear case and it is important that the large oil passage opening in governor ball bearing carrier plate, to be installed at top or up position to assure proper lubrication. Further lubrication is provided by an oil line which connects between rear of governor housing and oil filter as shown in Fig. FO29. Early model tractors were not provided with this oil line but service parts are available to permit this approved modernization.

44. ADJUSTMENT. The governor spring (2 Fig.

FO28) should be a snug bit but should have no end play and no pre-load. Spring may be adjusted by bending the loop on the spring with pliers. Check engine speed at Power Take-Off shaft or belt pulley, after engine is warmed up. Correct governed speed with hand throttle lever in last quadrant notch or wide open is 727 to 800 PTO shaft rpm, 2000 to 2200 engine rpm or 1358 to

1494 belt pulley rpm.

– governor used on models 2N-8N-9N tractors.

If crankshaft speed exceeds 2200 rpm or power take-off speed exceeds 800 rpm with throttle lever in last quadrant notch, turn in maximum speed stop screw (Fig. FO28 - 5) until speed is correct. If engine overspeeds before hand throttle is wide open, adjust model 2N 9N linkage by holding throttle shaft lever at “A”,

Renew worn or damaged parts and reassemble unit.

Clearance between washer and fork base should be from .220 to .230 and is adjusted by varying the number of shims (18241) until clearance is correct. If available,

Governor Setting Gauge No. ELO7691 shown in Fig. FO-33 may be used to check adjustments. To check clearance between washer and fork base, clamp shaft and driver assembly in Gauge as shown, and insert Go-No Go gauge between washer and fork base. If only thin end of gauge can be inserted, clearance is satisfactory.

Insertion of gauge all the way on thick section indicates excessive clearance and thin shims should be added until clearance is correct.

Check governor lever shaft assembly and needle bearing (Fig. FO34) for binding or


FO-4 I&T (Remastered Ver.1.2 ) 05-24-2015 excessive looseness and renew parts where required. If inner lever assembly is loose, install new parts or insert a 1/2 x 2-7/8 inch shim as shown in Fig. FO35.

Check governor shaft bushing for wear and if necessary renew bushing, using suitable removing and reinstalling tools as shown in Fig. FO38. CAUTION: Make sure that thrust washer shown in Fig. FO32 is in place before installing bushing.

Check governor arm adjustment, using Governor Setting Gauge as shown in Fig. FO36.

Clamp housing in gauge as shown and hold governor outer lever in wide open position. Insert Go-No Go gauge as shown and if only first step of gauge can be inserted, clearance is satisfactory. If not correct, unclamp housing, lay governor arm across flats on fixture and strike governor arm lightly as shown in Fig. FO37.

5 megohms @ 210° F.

55. TIMING TO ENGINE. Adjust breaker contacts to .015 gap by loosening the two hold-down screws

(Fig. FO44) and turning the eccentric screw. Place a scale against the tang on the wide side of the distributor shaft as shown in Fig. FO45 then rotate the shaft until the scale is 1/4 inch from the near edge of the small mounting hole as shown. With shaft in this position, the contacts should be just starting to open. Move the adjustment plate on the left side of the distributor down to advance the timing, up to retard the timing. If proper timing is not obtained on the first attempt, turn shaft backward ½ turn to eliminate backlash, then repeat the check.

Fig. FO44 - Distributor breaker contacts of

Ford 8N12100 distributor used on models 2N,

9N, and 8N prior to tractor serial 263844.

56. Recommended static timing is top center which will be automatically obtained regardless of crankshaft position when the distributor is installed to the engine providing that the basic timing of the distributor was correctly set at ¼ inch as outlined in the preceding paragraph. Recommended running timing full advanced is 24 flywheel degrees before TC when engine is running at 2000 rpm or higher. Any changes in the timing to accommodate different fuels are accomplished by changing the basic timing, that is by moving the adjustment plate on the left side of the distributor housing.

57. DISTRIBUTOR

OVERHAUL. Disconnect ignition coil primary wire and four spark plug cables at distributor.

Unsnap coil retainer bail and distributor cap clips and remove coil and cap.

Remove two cap screws holding distributor housing to engine and remove distributor unit.

Fig. FO45 - Distributor basic timing adjustment on models 2N-9N and 8N prior to tractor serial 263844.



Loosen condenser lead and mounting screws and remove condenser. Pry out snap ring an remove breaker plate after lock screw is removed. Check distributor shaft fit in housing and breaker plate bracket, check condition of centrifugal advance mechanism, breaker contacts and condenser. Repair or renew parts where necessary an reassemble unit. Adjust breaker contact gap to .014-.016 and lubricate breaker point cam sparingly. See Fig.

FO44.

To set basic timing before reinstalling distributor unit, place a steel scale against shaft tang on wide side of shaft and rotate shaft until scale edge is 1/4 inch from top side of small mounting hole as shown in

Fig. FO45. When shaft is in that position, breaker contacts should start to open. Move timing plate and screw until contacts open properly.

Install distributor on engine, aligning offset tang and slot, assemble coil and cap and reconnect wiring.

Model 8N (Late) Angle Drive

Distributor

58. After tractor serial 263843, model 8N tractors are equipped with angle mounted Ford distributor

8N12127A or B. Refer to Fig. FO46. The unit is driven by a replaceable gear on the front end of the camshaft and

Fig. FO46 - Angle-mounted distributor used on 8N tractors after serial 263843.

is mounted on top of the timing gear cover. Spark timing at speeds above 400 rpm is controlled by a centrifugal governor built into the distributor. Recommended contact gap is .025. Breaker arm spring tension should be 17-20 ounces. Governor advance curve is tabulated below:

Engine RPM

Advance (Crankshaft degrees)

1200

9-11

2000

16-18



(For distributor degrees and rpm use 1/2 of the values shown above.)

59. TIMING TO ENGINE. The flywheel of production engines equipped with angle drive distributors is stamped with a

“O” mark indicating top center position and with additional stamped lines from one to 20 degrees in one degree increments.

These marks appear in two places on the flywheel, 180 degrees apart. The degree lines index with a pointer at the flywheel inspection port located on the right side of engine.

Remove timing hole cover and crank engine until No. 1 piston is starting up on compression stroke and the 16-18 degree line on the flywheel aligns with the flywheel inspection port pointer.

Place distributor rotor in approximate register with No. 1 cap terminal and install distributor to engine but do not tighten clamp screw. Next, rotate distributor cam as far as it will go in the direction of its normal rotation. While holding the cam in this fully advanced position, rotate the distributor body in an opposite direction until breaker contacts just begin to open.

Tighten distributor clamp screw and install number one cylinder spark plug wire in the terminal which is over the rotor.

As indicated in the preceding paragraph, this timing procedure sets the fully advanced or running timing of the distributor which is 16-18 degrees before top center at 2000 engine rpm. Recheck timing with a timing light. To check action of the distributor governor, operate the engine at 400 rpm or less at which time the spark should occur at top center, plus or minus two degrees.



60. DISTRIBUTOR OVERHAUL. Procedure for overhaul of the distributor is conventional. When the running clearance of distributor shaft exceeds .006, renew the distributor base bushing or the shaft and bushing.

MAGNETO IGNITION SYSTEM

Model 2N

61. Some model 2N tractors are equipped with magneto ignition systems. A

Fairbanks-Morse FM-J4B73 magneto is used and is driven by the camshaft through a magneto drive adapter as shown in Fig. FO47. Refer to Standard Units manual for detailed overhaul and test information on magnetos.

62. MAGNETO TIMING. The magneto mounting flange and mating adapter flange are provided with slotted holes to permit timing adjustment. The magneto uses an impulse coupling with a 15 degree lag angle, which automatically advances spark timing that amount when the engine starts to run. For timing purposes, the impulse coupling should trip when number one piston is at top dead center of compression stroke.

62A. DRIVE ADAPTER OVERHAUL. Adapter is mounted on front of timing gear in same manner as battery ignition distributor. Remove adapter and proceed to disassemble, using care to mark gears and couplings to assure proper reassembly. Renew excessively worn parts, reassemble, install and re-time ignition as previously described.

Adjust pulley shaft bearings to a just perceptible preload by means of pulley nut (6). When only the pulley shaft is in the case the correct preload is when 12 to 20 inch pounds is required to rotate the shaft in its bearings. Adjust the drive shaft bearings to a slight preload by varying the number of gaskets interposed between cover (13) and housing

(7). Correct preload is when 20 to 30 inch pounds is required to rotate the belt pulley when the unit is completely assembled.





HYDRAULIC LIFT

SYSTEM

Although all of the Ford models utilize main assemblies of basically similar appearance, they hydraulic system as used on the 2N and 9N performs differently and has different adjustments than the system used on the 8N. Main differences are in the valving which in the 2N and 9N provides automatic draft control whereas on the 8N the system has automatic draft control and automatic implement position

(also called “automatic follow up”) control. Each system is easily identified by the appearance of the lift cover assembly which if it is for an 8N tractor has a position control lever (62-Fig. FO78) and a touch control lever (57), whereas for the 2N and 9N the cover has only the touch control lever as shown at

(57) in Fig. FO84.

Fig. FO78 - Model 8N hydraulic system has automatic draft control and automatic control of implement position (follow-up). the position control lever (62) is not used on models 2N and 9N.

ADJUSTMENTS

Models 2N-9N

99. QUADRANT. To check quadrant adjustment place an implement (or a weight of 200-300 pounds) on the lift arms and move the touch control lever downward. The lift arms should start to lower when the touch control lever reaches a point 2-5/8 to 2-3/4 inches down from the top position. If lift arms start moving before or after the specified lever position, loosen the 4 quadrant attaching screws (Q-Fig. FO78) and

Fig. FO79 - Adjust main control spring by rotating the threaded yoke as shown. Main control spring is listed as "lift draft control spring" in Ford parts catalog TIE

101. QUADRANT. To check the quadrant adjustment first remove the inspection plate from the left side of the axle center housing and disengage the position control lever (62-Fig. FO78) (smaller lever of the two) on the lift cover by moving it forward to the down position. While slowly moving the touch control lever (larger lever of the two) toward top of quadrant with the right hand, use the left hand to determine when the valve control leer (38-Fig. FO80) contacts the pump housing. If


FO-4 I&T (Remastered Ver.1.2 ) 05-24-2015 the quadrant position is correct, valve lever (38) will first contact the pump housing at point A, just as the touch control lever reaches its full UP position on the quadrant.

101A. If valve lever does NOT first contact the pump housing simultaneously with the touch control lever arriving at the full UP position, loosen the cap screws (Q-

Fig. FO78) in the quadrant support plate and move the quadrant forward or backward as required. Top face of quadrant support plate should be parallel with top of the attaching plate on the lift cover after adjustment is completed.

If touch control lever will not remain in any set position tighten the castellated nut at external end of touch control lever shaft.

Recommended frictional drag is when a

4-5 pound pull at end of lever is required to move the lever.

as per paragraph 100.

Adjustments described in paragraphs

103 and 104 can be made only when the

lift cover assembly is off the tractor. The need for these adjustments is when the lift cover assembly has been overhauled or when mechanical tampering has occurred.

103. CONSTANT DRAFT SPRING. To adjust constant draft spring mount the lift cover assembly in a vise with control spring up as shown in Fig. FO81. Disengage the position control lever (62) by moving it to the forward down position. Measure the length of the constant draft control spring (78) which should be 3-9/16 plus or minus 1/64 inch. If spring is not within these limits adjust to 3-9/16 by means of adjusting nut (81).

104. POSITION CONTROL SPRING. To adjust the position control spring, mount lift cover assembly n a vise as shown in Fig. FO82, and engage the position control


FO-4 I&T (Remastered Ver.1.2 ) 05-24-2015 lever (62) by moving it to the UP position. Move the touch control lever down until there is a gap “D” of ¾ inch between edge of lever and top of slot as shown. Raise the lift arms to their top operating position as indicated by marks (R) being in register. Make sure that the control arm (84) moves freely.

Move position control spring linkage up until pin (71) is in contact with face of cam on lift ram arm. Raise the control arm (84) until swivel (80) comes into contact with the flanged shoulder on bushing (79) of the constant draft control spring. With parts held in this position, loosen the locking nut (68) and turn the control rod (77) located inside spring (76) until the bolt contacts the pad (LP) on the control arm (84). Recheck the position of touch control lever and lift arms to be sure they were not moved during the adjustment, then tighten locknut (68) securely.

110. DISASSEMBLE AND OVERHAUL. Procedure for disassembly of the lift cover assembly is self evident by an examination of the unit and reference to Figs. FO86,

FO87, FO88, FO89, FO90 and FO91. The general order of disassembly is the ram cylinder (50), piston connecting rod (47), touch control lever (57), linkage for constant draft control rod (73), position control lever, and linkage, quadrant, control arm, lift arms (59), lift arms shaft (45) and bushings (60).

110A. Clean and inspect all of the parts as outlined in paragraph 107.

110B. Reassemble the unit by reversing the disassembly procedure. When installing the quadrant assembly align the marks on the latter with those on the lift cover casting. After unit is assembled and before installing same to tractor adjust the

constant draft spring and the position control spring as outlined in paragraphs 103 and 104.

TROUBLESHOOTING

For pump testing procedure, refer to

paragraph 114.

112. IMPLEMENT WILL NOT LIFT. If with pump drive engaged and engine running the implement will not lift, look for (a) stuck control valve, (b) cracked cylinder, (c) leaking high pressure tube connecting pump to cylinder in lift cover, (d) pump check valve not functioning, (e) relief valve not seating, and/or (f) defective pump.

To check for any of the preceding conditions, first remove inspection cover from either side of the rear axle center housing and make certain that the control valve moves freely when actuated by hand. With pump running, there should be no visible oil spray in the compartment and no turbulence of the oil adjacent to the pump unit. The existence of either condition indicates leakage, the location of which can be traced by visual inspection.

112A. ERRATIC LIFTING. Possible causes are one or more inlet or outlet valves stuck in valve chambers on side of pump or excessive friction in movement of lift arms due to over-tightening on shafts.

112B. ERRATIC DEPTH CONTROL. If the tillage implement alternates between too deep and too shallow probable causes are main control spring not

properly adjusted, paragraph 100

and/or binding linkage.

PUMP R&R AND TEST

Models 2N-8N-9N

114. TEST PUMP. To check pump operating pressure when pump is installed, proceed as follows: Remove hexagon head (1/2 x 20) cap screw (14-Fig. FO92) located at right hand corner of pump base and in its place connect a pressure gauge of not less than 1700 and not more than 2500 psi capacity. With the lift arms secured in the full lowered position or weighted to prevent lifting, move the touch control lever to the top position on the quadrant. The relief valve should open at a gauge pressure of not less than 1600 psi.

If the pump does not deliver the expected minimum pressure of 1600 pounds per square inch, check for a faulty safety (relief) valve (30). To check for this condition remove either inspection cover from sides of rear axle center housing. With the pump running, there should be no visible oil turbulence in the vicinity of the safety valve. If turbulence is present, remove the relief (safety) valve and install a new one.

If the safety valve is considered to be in operating condition by the preceding check, and the expected pressure is not obtained, the pump, cylinder, and/or high pressure oil tube is at fault. A visible oil spray in the pump compartment of the rear axle center housing indicates leakage, the location of which can usually be traced by visual inspection. If no oil spray is evident, a further check involving removal of the pump will be necessary.

Fig. FO91 - Model 8N lift cover showing first step in reassembly procedure.

115. R&R PUMP FROM TRACTOR. To remove the pump, first drain the rear axle center

housing and the pump. Remove the PTO shaft as outlined in paragraph 95. Remove

inspection port cover and PTO shift lever cover from right and left sides of rear axle center housing. On the 8N models, remove the cap screws retaining the pump to the center housing and withdraw the pump. On models 2N and 9N disconnect the fork

(53-Fig. FO84) from the control valve (11) by spreading fork slightly; then remove the pump retaining cap screws and withdraw the pump.

When reinstalling the pump, insert the PTO shaft; then tighten the retaining screws only slightly. Rotate engine several revolutions with PTO engaged to permit pump to center itself; then tighten the retaining screws securely.

PUMP OVERHAUL

MODEL 8N

116. DISASSEMBLE AND OVERHAUL. Procedure for disassembling the pump is self evident after examining the actual unit and by referring to Fig. FO92. When removing the rocker lever (38) hold the control valve (29) in position with one hand to avoid the control valve flying. Order of disassembly is relief valve (30), valve rocker lever (38), intake control valve (29), exhaust control valve (34), both valve chambers (C), cam (15) and piston (17) assembly, PTO shaft bushing (18), and disassemble the valve chambers (C).

Throughly wash all parts in an approved solvent being sure to remove all gum, carbon or varnish from the surfaces. Renew any worn, corroded or scratched parts and check and service the valves and bushings in the pump as outlined in paragraphs

117 through 122.

117. INTAKE CONTROL VALVE. Intake control valve (29-Fig. FO92) is available in 3


FO-4 I&T (Remastered Ver.1.2 ) 05-24-2015 diameters to permit obtaining a free but minimum-clearance-fit of the valve in the bushing (24). When checking the fit, valve and the bushing should be coated with hydraulic oil which is the same lubricant used in the transmission. Obtain minimum clearance by selection from the available valves:

Valve bushing is available in standard bore size only but can be obtained .010 oversize on the outside diameter. Be sure to use latest bushing which has 4 intake holes. Bushing should not be sized after installation and should be pressed in flush with the face of the pump base. Turn bushing to position where cotter pin hole is approximately horizontal so as to facilitate insertion of the locking cotter pin.

118. EXHAUST CONTROL VALVE. Exhaust control valve (34-Fig. FO94) and its bushings

(B) in the pump base should be free of scratches. Valve should move freely in bushing but should have minimum clearance when checked with the recommended transmission oil on the valve and bushing. Exhaust valve is available in 5 diameters as follows:

Bushing (B) for exhaust control valve is pressed into pump base and should be renewed if scratched or otherwise damaged. Bushing should not be sized after installation. It should be installed flush with face of pump base and with holes in such position as to assure easy insertion of the locking cotter pin. Bore diameter of bushing is .5926.

119. SAFETY AND CHECK VALVE UNIT. A check valve (32-Fig. FO94) is combined with the safety (relief) valve (30) mounted in the pump base. The safety valve is factory adjusted to unseat at a minimum pressure of 1600 psi. if any parts of this valve are worn or broken or show signs of leakage, install a new valve unit.

Inspect the check valve for signs of leakage. Improper seating may be due to irregularities of the seat in the pump base which can be corrected by using the special Ford reseating tool or equivalent as shown in Fig. FO96. Leakage signs on the valve (32-Fig. FO94) can be corrected by renewal of the valve, followed by lapping if necessary.



120. INLET AND OUTLET VALVES. Inlet and outlet valves (5 and 7-Fig. FO92) are contained in each of the valve chamber covers. If inspection indicates valves are not seating perfectly same can be reseated using special Ford reseater as shown in

Fig. FO97 and the valves can be refaced. If valves leak after this work has been accomplished, make sure that guides (8) and sockets (9) are aligned to give concentric seating and that they are in good mechanical condition.

121. PTO SHAFT BUSHINGS. Busing (18-Fig. FO94) which supports the PTO shaft should have a running clearance of not less than .0015 and not more than .006. Renew the bushing if scored or if clearance exceeds .006.

122. SCOTCH YOKES & CYLINDERS.

The Scotch yokes (17-Fig. FO94) which form the pistons and the large bores in the chamber covers which form the cylinders of the pump should be inspected for scratching, wear, etc.

Correction of any non-standard condition is by renewing the parts. When assembling yokes

(pistons), position them so that the piston portions are closest to each other.

Models 2N-9N

124. DISASSEMBLE AND

OVERHAUL. Procedure for disassembling the pump used on models 2N and 9N is self evident after examining the pump and referring to Fig. FO95. This pump differs from the unit used on the 8N tractors mainly in that it is equipped with a single control valve (11) instead of an inlet and an exhaust control valve. The single control valve is T shaped and is operated by the control fork, whereas on the pumps used on 8N tractors the control valves are operated by

Throughly wash all parts in an approved solvent being sure to remove all gum, carbon or varnish from the surfaces. Renew any corroded, scratched or worn parts

and check and service the valves and bushings in the pump as per paragraphs 125

through 129.

125. PUMP VALVE. This pump valve (11-Fig. FO95) which takes the place of the intake and exhaust control valves on the 8N tractors is available in only one diameter. It should be a minimum-clearance-free-fit in the bushing (B). Bushing (B_ is available in oversizes of .010 and .020 on the outside diameter.

126. SAFETY AND CHECK VALVE UNIT. The check valve portion (CV-Fig. FO95) of this assembly is exactly the same as the check valve used in pumps for model 8N tractors. If inspection shows that check valve has been leaking, check for irregularities of the seat surface in the pump base. Seat can be recut by using special Ford reseating tool or equivalent as shown in Fig. FO96. Leakage signs on valve can be corrected by renewal of valve followed by light lapping if necessary.

The safety valve portion of the assembly indicated by the spring (RV), ball and cotter pin is factory adjusted to unseat at a minimum pressure of 1600 psi. if any parts of this valve are worn or broken or show leakage, install a new valve unit.

127. INLET AND OUTLET VALVES. Inlet and outlet valves (5 and 7-Fig. FO95) are identical to the similar parts used in the 8N tractors. Valves can be reseated by using special Ford reseater as shown in Fig. FO97 and the valves can be refaced. Be sure guides and sockets (8 and 9) are aligned to give concentric seating and that they are in good mechanical condition.

128. PTO SHAFT BUSHING. Bushing (18-Fig. FO95) is identical with bushing used in



model 8N tractors and is serviced in the same manner as outlined in paragraph 121.

129. SCOTCH YOKES & CYLINDERS. The Scotch yokes (17-Fig. FO95) which form the pistons, and the large bores in the chamber covers (C) which form the cylinders, should be inspected for wear, scratching, etc. Correct any non-standard condition by renewing the parts. When assembling yokes (pistons) to pump, position them so that the piston portions are closest to each other. Pistons and cylinders are the same as used in 8N tractors.

Fig. FO96 - Improper seating of the check valve portion of relief valve unit may be corrected using a reseating tool as shown.
