I JUST PURCHASED A 48 8N THAT HAS BEEN SITTING FOR YEARS AND TONIGHT WHILE I WAS CHECKING OUT EVERYTHING, I NOTICED A OIL LINE I THINK COMING OUT OF THE BLOCK BELOW THE OIL FILTER RUNNING DOWN THE TRACTOR TO THE REAR. THE LINE AT THE REAR IS NOT ATTACHED TO ANYTHING. I ALSO OWN A 50 8N THAT I RESTORED AND THAT TRACTOR DOES NOT HAVE THIS LINE. I DON'T WANT TO START THE TRACTOR UNTIL I FIGURE WHAT THIS LINE IS. CAN ANYBODY HELP.

- Start date
THE OIL LINE IS COMING OUT OF THE BLOCK NEXT TO THE WATER DRAIN PLUG AND IT RUNS DOWN THE LENGHT OF THE TRACTOR TO THE REAR. ITS APPEARS TO BE A OIL LINE, IT IS COPPER ABOUT THE SAME SIZE AS THE OIL LINE GOING TO THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE. THIS TRACTOR HAS A SHERMAN IF IT MATTERS. THANKS

Any way to show us pictures of the line. Where does it go to at the rear of the tractor??

interesting.
pics will verify, just a blind guess......
but it sounds like the owner used the oil filter return bung on the block as a crankcase vent.
must smoke some if he ran it all the way to the back

Did it maybe once attach to the Terminal block and bypass the filter?
Early 9N didn't have an oil line going to the governor and went straight into the block (red arrow) as you described.
Does your tractor have a filter and does it have the line from the terminal block to the filter (green arrow)?

I PURCHASED MY TRACTOR AS A 48 8N BUT WHEN I CHECKED THE SERIAL NUMBER TODAY, IT APPEARS TO BE 1941 9N ENGINE BASED THE NUMBER (9N59163). I THINK SOMEONE HAS JUST REPLACED THE 8N ENGINE WITH A 9N ENGINE. ALL OF THE OTHER FEATURES OF THE TRACTOR APPEAR TO A 8N.
BUT YOU ARE RIGHT, THE LINE ON A 9N FILTER RUNS TO THE BLOCK INSTEAD OF TO THE GOVENOR. ON THIS TRACTOR, SOMEBODY HAS CHANGED THE LINE GOING TO THE BLOCK TO THE GOVENOR AND THE CONNECTION AT THE BLOCK JUST RUNS TO THE REAR OF THE TRACTOR. MY QUESTION, DO I NEED TO JUST LEAVE THE LINE RUNING TO THE BACK OF THE TRACTOR OR SHOULD I PLUG THE LINE AT THE BLOCK. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.
