Hello Everyone,
I have installed a new front axle pin and spacers on my 47' 8N. Well I did a mock-up today with the fan prior to paint and found the fan blades interfere with the front axle by approximately 3/8". The previous owner had no spacers on the front axle which allowed it to shuck for and aft which of course ate up the steering box and so forth which turns into a longer discussion. My question is; did I install the spacers incorrectly? Why would I now have this interference when in its original state there was none? Scratching my head on this one for sure.
