IMPORTANT - IMPORTANT - IMPORTANT I have operated countless hours and had many experiences with the Ford 8N using several implements. The bush-hog is obviously the most dangerous. While with general improvements and maintenance, that bush-hog you bought will give you great service. My issues fall in two categories: #1. Tractor/Bush-Hog combination. The Ford 8N has a "non-live PTO". What does that mean ? It means when you connect the bush-hog, recognize that it spins a very heavy mass at high speed thereby generating enormous energy that can't be stopped like a flail mower. When you are mowing and push in the clutch, the energy remains in effect and is directly connected to the engines crankshaft. That means regardless if you apply the clutch, the power-train will continue until the energy is dissipated. Simply stated ... if you're mowing and come to a fence or building, the energy stored in the blades will push the tractor (and you) through the fence or building. REMEDY: Go to Tractor Supply and buy (not expensive) a "PTO over-running clutch adapter". This allows the bush-hog blades to continue spinning with no effect on the power-train. It can save your life. And yes ... when you let out the clutch the power-train and blades will become recoupled and continue mowing. #2. Blade Sharpening: Find a mentor that you trust to advise you. For me ... I would remove the blades and note the gash deviations for depth while holding the blades together. Draw a line from the blade tip back to the bevel to include the gash depth on both blades (treating them as one blade). Grind the edged portion flat (the same amount and same angle on both blades) to a point where the gashes are gone. When the blades match in shape, apply a grind to provide an edge, making sure to have the beveled edge the same on both blades. What you're doing here is creating a matched mass on both sides. Because the center hub is normally concentric, having the blades match in mass will give you the best chance of a balanced turning mass. Safe operating my friend.

Thanks for your comment. I’m not at all concerned about using the mower without an over running clutch I have operated these old tractors from a young age mainly Fergusons also without over running clutches. I just know when I need to stop. I also do own an over running clutch but I have had bad experience with them disintegrating the roll pin there for coming loose and hitting the pto shaft housing. I would recommend an over running clutch for anyone new to these machines and with this setup. Personally I would never use one again

More questions from me I hope you will answer. I have the same tractor now. My PTO shaft had a troubled life. Its toast! I have a complete new shaft assembly with the larger size splines to make it more current. My PTO Lever is very, very stiff to operate. I can engage my PTO and it works (put the splines are toast so I can not use it as is), but disengagement takes a very hard pull and my lever just reaches 12:00 O'Clock position and does not cant towards the front of the tractor like it shows in the manual. My question: Can I remove the PTO lever/cover assembly like it shows yours removed in the beginning of this KZread? I want to see in there to make sure I can get the old PTO shaft out and hopefully it isn't stuck or bent. It does not vibrate and spins correctly even though the splines are all bent (rear). I was hoping I could gain some advantage by removing the lever and cover assembly that could help me remove the old shaft assembly. Your thoughts and advice please?
@jactor7274Ай бұрын
Yes you can remove the pto lever cover and the lever is all attached to the cover it’s very simple. Then you can take a peek inside. Make sure you don’t spill any fluids out the cover though lol. But the pto shaft should easily slide out once you unbolt those 4 bolts on the back of the pto

Is the valve cover vent on your tractor clogged as that could cause over pressure of the crank case and the leaks you pointed out. I suspect you have already done the head gasket. But if not, two things often work: 1.) Just repeat the head torque sequence and add 5ftlb to the final torque, and 2.). "K-Seal". It is snake oil that works. I used on my Son's Mazda RX-8 Rotary Engine with blown internal coolant seals, and on my 1996 GMC 3/4 Ton 4x4 7.5 Liter, Suburban with 227,000.00 miles on it. The Mazda was blowing white smoke from water in the chambers and everyone said it was dead. It has 37,000.00 more miles on it now and has never had a problem. The Suburbans with 454/7.5 Liters tend to blow head or intake manifold gaskets over 170,000.0 miles. Mine started loosing water and smelled like coolant when parked. I was adding at least 2 quarts of water a day. I put in K-Seal and its been about 12,000.0 miles and I haven't added a drop of coolant since putting in the K-Seal. The stuff works!

How many bolts per side does it take to remove the hood assembly like you did? I have not investigated mine. The previous owner told me I can pivot the assembly forward on the two bolts at the bottom of the grill that you removed. Is that true? Please pardon my dumb questions. I did not grow up with tractors or on a farm and my old Jubilee is the first tractor I ever owned (I'm 67 years old). I just got it running and now want to make the improvements and restorations you have as I have someone to follow. I have lived on 2 acres for the past 45 years and have maintained it with a John Deere 317 and just recently for fun purchased an outstanding John Deere 140 with all implements. So I know Garden Tractors, but nothing about real tractors or 3 points. I have another dumb question: What is the mason jar elbow extension that I see sometimes sticking out from where the air filter grill is on the left side of the hood? Why do some people have that on their tractor and others don't? What does it do? Thank you.

That’s all good these are very good questions. Yes you can flip the hood up with the 2 bolts left in but I find that the hood is super flimsy so I just take it right off.

Old gray tractors often did not have a two-stage clutch. That is, the power take off rotates as well as the axle if it is in gear. When you press the clutch, the one slows at the same speed as the other. Try to avoid running it through a garage door. In my case I parked my Ferguson on top of a boulder by the time I got the thing slowed down. An inexpensive over-running clutch attaches just ahead of the mower's pto shaft, and takes care of the problem.

To all you saying ton get a overrun clutch its not a 9n 2n or 8n tractor, the mower will not push this model tractor, also they make a special pin for that mower that fits where you got those cheap bolts, they're like 7/8"
Thanks
You dont know how Hard its to re assamble the splited tractor on the grass, not on a solid ground, great job by the way!!
Yes it is quite a difficult job especially outside lol. Thanks!!
Nice job. I recently did the same. Just watched to see if I missed anything. I guess not. Thanks.
No problem happy that the vid helped
Most of us don't have a press.
You can use seal drivers or a socket
Thanks for the video Sir. Its good to see the the steps to resolve a very annoying and common problem
You are welcome!
JUST BOUGHT A FORD JUBILEE,, TO BRUSH HOG OUR LOWER FEILDS,, IT CAME WITH A DEUTZ ALLIS,, FIVE FT THREE BLADE ,,
Awesome! Good deal
Great job on the video, thanks bro
Thanks!
Great purchase best luck in the future.
Thank you!
So, our seal looks fine. But the lower plate loos like it's leaking. I have the bolts out, but the plate seems stuck? Any advice would be helpful, even knowing what to expect behind it!
If you mean the lower plate inside the bell housing, I’m pretty sure that it holds the bearing and clip for the gears. Maybe try looking up a manual for that. I never went in behind that plate so I’m not sure what to expect but from my experience so far I would research before opening it up.
@@jactor7274 thank you!
@General-kh3lc you are welcome
My Jubilee is leaking on the left side, but my 8N was leaking on the right before I fixed it.
Wow. Crazy how many other people have this same leak. So many years or those arms hanging off there I guess lol
Nice video lets you know what you are getting into.
Thank you!
Poo video doesnt show when you putting everything together
I'm running a Ferguson TO 20 tractor and I want to get a brush hog. What is your HP rating and what's the width of your mower?
A Ferguson to 20 will have no problem running a 6 foot mower. My grandpa runs his tea 20 with a 6 foot. My jubilee is around 30hp and I’m running a 6 foot mower. Hope this helped you!
Love the smell of it when it first started cold 😊
Smells great
Once had one and gear box was junk No parts
Yeah I can’t find any parts on these
Dont listen the the morons, your doing a fine job, keep it up.
Thanks!!
Great purchase, but you may want to invest in a air impact in the near future.
Thanks! Yes a new air impact is definitely a must
New Sub! Love to see honest people doing honest work to bring the old things back to life. That mower was run Hard but with the work you do with it, it'll last a lifetime. Try and get an inexpensive MIG welder - it will up your metalworking/fixit game to a whole new level! Keep up the great work!
Thanks! I’m happy you’re enjoying my videos.
Can you run a tap in the gear box holes and put in a next size up bolt?
Actually yes that’s a great idea. I will try that next before doing anything I can’t undo
If you wonder why most bush hogs are curved at the back corners you will find out when you are following a fence and come to a corner. I had a square Ford bush hog and got in a corner and almost got into the wire trying to get out.
I have actually done this before lol getting stuck up against fence lines is an easy thing to do and kinda difficult to get out of
Also need to loosen the slip clutch be sure it’s not rusted frozen solid, If you hit something hard it must slip or you could tear up your tractor pto shaft
Ok thanks for the info I’ll look into it
You need to buy a boom pole for that tractor, lifting stuff You wind up hurting that beautiful girls back and you will be sorry for ever, Nice old cutter,
Thanks! Yes I need to find a better way of living for sure
Old gray tractors often did not have a two-stage clutch. That is, the power take off rotates as well as the axle if it is in gear. When you press the clutch, the one slows at the same speed as the other. Try to avoid running it through a garage door. In my case I parked my Ferguson on top of a boulder by the time I got the thing slowed down. An inexpensive over-running clutch attaches just ahead of the mower's pto shaft, and takes care of the problem.
Haha yes I have heard stories of people running their tractors into and through things. I do actually have a over running clutch which I will use if I do some big mowing
It would be best going forward if you had something to replace the two of you lifting and lowering. Too much chance of getting hurt. Have been there and done that also, I enjoyed your video.
Thank you! I’m glad that you enjoyed my video. And yes that was not the best idea to lift the mower but it’s the best I could do. Hopefully in future I will have a shop with a crane of some sort
Only the top edge. Not real sharp, if it hits something it will chip the blade.
Ok thanks!
Some advice for someone who's owned that. Sell that toy tractor and mower and buy a zero turn. You can thank me later.
Zero turn will beat you to death and is supremely overrated.
use the breaker bar for loosening tight bolts - not the wrench . dont overfill the gear box - has a tendency to make the seals leak. those blades are worn out, plus usually dont get sharpened. You'll catch on to all this - just takes experience - keep at it and you'll do great
Thank you! In future I will use the breaker bar for what it is intended for lol. And yes I have learnt a lot since starting this channel
Don't grind the bottom, you also need both blades to be balanced. If the bolts are rusted, just grind off the bolt head and punch it out. Replace with stainless steel ones. Cheers.
Ok great thanks for the info
GREAT CLIP BROTHER. THANKS FOR SHARING AND KEEP THOSE VIDEOS COMING.!
Thank you!
Do not grind the bottom.. Free up your blade, oil it, and tighten it back up.
Thanks
Man you will get more views as you go along and more subscribers will naturally come, farm channels always get a ton because you live a life most of them could only dream of. Keep going you could be the next cole the cornstar.
Thank you for the comment. I like it that people enjoy watching my videos!
