FORD 8n PTO Help

I Recently bought a brush hog for my 1949 Ford 8n. The type
of PTO shaft that came with the brush hog is the type that you
need a bolt/nut to go through the little hole to connect to the
PTO on the tractor. I?m just making sure this is correct? Does
anyone know where I can get a quick release PTO shaft and
what size what I need? Or is there something fast rather then
having to un bolt a nut and bolt every time
 
You could replace the front half of the yoke with a modern one. You don"t need to buy a whole shaft.
 
Do you have an over running clutch (ORC) on the 8N shaft? You better. or the mower will push you into a tree, over a bank or stream, if you don't

if you are using a brush hog then you need to put an over riding clutch on it. that hole is for a a shear pin not a bolt. they make a pto adapter you can install for the larger equipment that is Easley put on that will allow you to just release your drive that are on ebay for about 10 bucks but you need to know when ever you have the pto engaged it will run un till you disengage it or shut the tractor off so the blades on your brush hog will keep trying to push your tractor even when you push your clutch in. choice is yours but just be careful. don't like to hear of people getting hurt.
 

For a quick release to work, the splines on the PTO shaft would need some kind of detente or groove for a pin or ball to go into.

The male shaft in your picture has none of that.

But... you could....if you have the room between the tractor and bush hog... install a PTO extender on that shaft and bolt it in place through the hole provided.

If the PTO extender had the proper detente; then you could use a PTO with quick coupling ends.

Also, take it from somebody that has used an N series tractor with a bush hog... what everybody says about the fact that the bush hog will push you around.... it's true...

get an over-running clutch. It will keep you safer and also protect the driveline of your tractor.
 
Hey Devron, Did you ever figure out if you have an overrun clutch? I'm in the same boat as you and trying to figure out what I have.
Thanks,
Scott
 

The overrun clutch will be on the implement, not the tractor. Believe what others above have said; running that tractor without an overrun clutch is an accident, not only waiting, but primed to happen....... Don't do it!
 

Here s pictures of two different ORC s The first one is a push button ORC that fits on a 1 3/8" PTO shaft.


The second one is for a 1 1/8" PTO shaft. It is held on by roll pin. You remove one of the grease zircs and install the pin in the hole.

ORC s go on the tractors PTO shaft, not on the implement.
