could use a little degreas'n to make it all purty

Be careful how you clean it.. My friend wanted his old Case to be pretty so he pressured washed it and got the wrong things wet and it didn't run until he took it to the shopo. (that was not a typo)

1950?

1954

jubilee first year 1952

1950 was 8N

I had an 8N a few years back. Used it in the corrals. Had a PTO with a 6' blade on it, and grove fenders.

What's this 8N and 9N you guys keeps talking about? All I know, or have been told, from the current owner is 1954 Ford "NA"

8N and 9N were model designations that Ford used at the time. Many parts are the same between the two models.

All you need now is a straw hat!

I agree. I always wear protection on my bald head. Er...you know what I mean. 🙂

Oh and more tractors! I have a 50 Case for the hay rake. A 60s ford for the hay bind and a new Newholland for the bailer.

This way when cutting hay just jump on the tractor you need!

I also have other attachments like a log spliter, concrete mixer,box blade,3 bottom plow,wood chipper and a brush hog.

I think there are only 2 attachments that come with this tractor, and I don't know what either one are called, but both are for plowing/gardening. One has the disks on it for turning/tilling up the dirt, and the other (which I did not see with my own eyes, but was described to me by the owner) is used to break up the dirt after going over it with the disks. The owner said that you use the disks about a month out from when you're going to plant, and then use the other attachment just prior to planting. It's all greek...or...green acres to me. 🙂

***UPDATE***

Well, I took the tractor out this weekend...finally. Runs good I guess. We thought the battery was dead, but after replacing the cables it fired right up. Shifting on the fly produces some grinding. 😕 I recall going from 1 - 2 doing it the most. However, I can't remember if it did it from 2 - 3, or 3 - 4, etc. But I did most of the shifting from a standstill, and that worked best...maybe I shouldn't shift on the fly. I need a dipstick for the hydraulic fluid. It's missing. And we need to pick up some hydraulic fluid to replace what has obviously leaked out from the dipstick hole. Fluid is on the footboards just below the dipstick hole...which might also explain why the 3-point does not raise or lower. Currently it is in the lowered position, and someone did tell me that it may not be a good idea to drive the tractor if the 3-pt is down and low on (possibly out of) fluid...but the temptation was too great once it was started.

Dave,

[1] The transmission isn't made to shift on the fly.

[2] Do some research before you add hyd fluid to the system. I think your tractor has a common pool for both the hydrolics and transmission. In that case, normal hyd fluid isn't heavy enough to protect the trans. You probably need something like 80W-90 gear lube with an anti-foam agent. I know about this because I made the same mistake. Once the thin hyd fluid got hot and thinned out, the lift wouldn't work.

Would a tractor supply store be able to look this stuff up?

Google is good...

Trans/Hyd Fluid: 7 1/2 Gallons Non-Foaming 90W.

Dave,

My personal pick is Chevron ISO 220 Gear Compound. I tried Shell Rotella 220 but I'm not happy with the performance. Gear compound is sold by the pound. Thirty-five pounds is about 5 gallons. Your tractor probably holds about 8 gallons total. If I were you I would drain the system and start with fresh oil. You will want to keep a pail on hand to top off the system. Again, I know from experience that you probably have a leak in at least one seal. Feeding it is cheaper than fixing it.

That trans/hyd fluid is NOT what you want for a common pool system. It is too thin. I'm no petroleum expert, but I do know that the hyd oil 90 and gear lube 90 weight aren't the same.

Thanks for the info. I may be heading to the local Ford/New Holland dealer to get a dipstick. I'll ask about the fluid. Hopefully the hydraulics still work...it would appear the people who borrowed it (from the previous owner) never fed it or fixed it. 😞
