You have a good looking old Ford. I never was a fan of 9N's for 2 reasons. 1- who at Ford thought it was a good idea to put the clutch & left brake together? 2- you always have to have an over ride clutch on the pto when running a bush hog unless you want a quick ride over the hill. It looks like you've done a lot of work to make it look good. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for posting this video sir! Other brake videos skip the required steps to accomplish the job, including pounding the wheel off the hub! It’s a job to due the replacement. I also noticed others packing the aftermarket seal with as much grease as they can fit inside the new seal. I understand that with the aftermarket seal no oil will be available to the bearing but holy…. Subbed
I guess it s the same procedure for my 39 9N, when she needs one. I like that quick seal, a real time saver. Thanks Dave from the southern shores of Georgian Bay. ( looks like she s still working the fields )
Good vid. I have a 47' 2n. Fun as hell to ride and does the job for food plots. Question I have is did you have to drain the hydraulic fluid before pulling the axle out ? I heard and read that it's necessary but is it really ? Thanks
I hadn't thought of that because they are everywhere here, Ford make literally millions of the N series tractors. You do have the TEA20 tractors though and they are geared and balanced much better than the Ns and have much better traction. Good to see you again BB, thanks for hanging out!
The 8N is a little different, actually easier like a car the brake drum is separate from the axle so you only have to remove the brake drum not the whole axle. Thanks for watching!
Hello Dave my name is Robert and and I have a ford 2n and I was wondering if I can adjust the breaks without removing the tire? It stops but not as quick as it should. Thanks for your time!
The square knob sticking pout the back of the backing plate is the adjuster. I don't remember which way to turn it but you would turn it the direction that gives you more pedal. Thanks for watching!
Likely it doesnt stop because of oil seal leak that let oil get all over drum and brake linings. Fix the oil leak with new seals or the speedy seal(pack the bearing with grease because the speedy seal keeps oil from reaching the bearings). Then use break cleaner to clean the drum and back plate. Install new shoes. It'll stop.
