I recently purchased a Ford 9N Tractor, as I am very new to owning a tractor I have a few questions that some of you maybe able to help me with.
First question is what is the typical issues found on the 9N Tractor that I may want to look for, or forward to running into?
Second question - Brakes, it seems to not have any, as it was set up with a box blade on the 3 point hitch, and is clutch I believe the original owner just never really needed to replace the pads as he used the blade to stop the machine.
My question is how difficult is it to replace the brakes, and is there any parts I should have on hand when I start the brake replacement process I see you can purchase just the pad with rivets but, not knowing the condition of the shoes their-selves I should probably opt for the whole replacement pad and shoes. Breaking the tires off the tractor will be a job on its own so I want to make sure that there is nothing in there I could run into not having on hand that may be in need of replacement as well, would rather do it all at once rather than take the tires off twice. Also I here that brakes are not great on these type of tractors anyways because of them being manual and not hydrolic is this true or will a new set of pads be worth the time. Thanks in advance, Jeremy
