Farmerhr 12-12-2012 23:44:27 108.224.0.124 Report to Moderator	I am getting ready to install new 0.040 sleeves in my 8N. A mandrel is just about machined up to push the sleeve in per the I&T Ford Manual. The sleeves I purchased say to use the lubricant recommended by the tractor manufacturer. I cannot find a recommendation in either the Ford or I&T manual. I am going to try and push them at room temperature since I will be using a mandrel. What if any lubricant should I use ? Thank You for any help. [Reply]   [No Email]

Best idea I've ever had to install new sleeves. You can buy a fitting off Ebay that is used to fill small propane cylinder from a 30# cylinder to do it with. That's what I use.

Came in an aerosol can. It was made for pressing of of sleeves, pin bushings and such. We always had very good results with this product. Ask your local machine shop or on the internet under Sunnen products.   [Reply]  [No Email]
