Goodmorning,
I really want to give my Great Grandfathers 9N (Purchased used at John C. Stewart Ford in Cuttingsville, Vermont in the early 1950's) a cleanup, but before I hit it with the sandblaster, primer and paint...I have an oil leak to attend to. See photo below.
I've cleaned the area up and pressed a bit of copper silicone into the leaking seam. I am assuming that this will not fix my problem.
I am curious. What kind of a job is it to split this little tractor and drop the oil pan. Is splitting a 9N much like removing a standard transmission from a GM or Ford car? The transmission in this case being Simply bigger and heavier. Is the clutch located in a dry area?
Other than being a cast iron oil pan...does it remove just like a small block chevy? All engine internals are unaffected?
The tractor runs great by the way and I have no reason to believe that it needs a clutch.
