Ford 8n PTO Conversion

In this video I bring my old Ford 8n tractor up to date with a PTO conversion kit. After that gets installed it’s off to the ranch to test out the new loader bucket!

Shifter boot is a common suspect for water incursion. Get the screw on cover for the PTO to keep it clean!

A Ford 8n was the first tractor I ever ran. That was back in 'the dark ages'. 1966 to be exact. Glad to see someone still keeping one used.

My grandfather bought an 8n in 1952 and there's been 5 generations in my family driven it. Lots of memories!!!

Another project checked off of the to do list…good job. I always enjoy watching you work; you always take the time to explain what you are doing, then stop and say you might as well do the job right…and then you make it just like new. That my dear is pride in workmanship!!

You are doing a good job of getting good use out of an old tractor. Very practical. Grandpa would be proud.

Hey there Tyler, I hope you're all well and good!

I would say there's a better than even chance that oils never been changed. You get a relatively small amount of water through condensation, which adds up over the years, but generally 90% or more of the water enters around the shifter, when the shifter boot becomes damaged, and/or cracks.

I hope y'all have a good one! 🐃👍🇺🇸

Painted one piece at a time. That is just how I plan on doing mine. 👍

I got a 1950 IH Super A tractor and it has the 1-3/8 PTO shaft. My 1950 Ford 8N has a 1-1/8 PTO shaft. That's a nice upgrade. I use an 1-1/8 to 1-3/8 adapter a lot cheaper.

I love these little tractors. Got a 1948 myself

Good morning to Farmer Tyler Ranch and all others too. Nice job and keep up your content. God Bless You all and sending prayers to everyone to stay safe.

Most common place for water to get in the trans on those tractors is around the shifter. Quite a few old tractor mechanics have told me to replace the boots whenever they start to crack up and put some silicone gasket maker on them to make sure it’s sealed up tight especially if the tractor it’s going to be outside

Tyler - you are so awesome! I enjoy every video you produce. It's obvious you know everything about everything and we are so fortunate you share it all with us. Thank you!

[nadeenflynn]

I’m really enjoying this transformation of the Old 8N. Nice work, FTR!

It is really neat to watch you work on the tractor in up grading the PTO. You have very good ideas and skill to do them. Thank you for sharing.

[richardsypher]

Great video! The only thing I could say is it's easier to clean the area around the differential case before you take the PTO shaft out. Quick hit with a degreaser and then rinse with high-pressure water.

Nice job Tyler slowly but surely it's coming together. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.

[CJLeTeff]

Nice to see more of the old tractor being upgraded Tyler. 👍🤘🏻👍🤘🏻🎉🎉🎉🎉🤘🏻👍🤘🏻👍

Old Frankenstein sound good! i love the vid!

[herdingcats]

I'm always impressed with your attitude of doing a job correctly with few shortcuts. IMO, this the only attitude to exhibit and you get an "A" grade from me. Keep it up.

I believe water could come into those transmissions through the rubber boot on the shifter. If those boots aren't super tight then water runs down the shifter and then into the transmission.
