Does anyone know how to put the 'scoop' onto a 1942 9N tractor? We bought the tractor from a man with no knowledge of how to use anything. Great shape, but, no books. I just need to be told how to put the scoop on the tractor so I can move rocks and dirt and clay on the yard. Please respond with any help. Thanks!

I use one on my 8N and I love it. I have moved tons of dirt and rocks.

Mine uses a trip/reset lever to dump it.

I found a great way to set it up easy.

First, attach it to the tractor with the top link extended.

Raise the 3 point and dump the scoop.

Now lower the scoop back to the ground all the way.

Start adjusting the top link shortening it until the

trip lever resets itself, then a bit shorter to make sure.

Now when you dump it you can just lower the empty

scoop to the ground to automatically reset the dump lever.

If you are mounting the scoop backwards just reverse everything.

Shorten the top link to attach it, then lengthen it to adjust the trip lever.

Now using these methods also means that the mouth of the scoop

is always leaning downwards and material wants to fall out.

So another way to adjust it is to set it leaning back just a little,

but somewhere near where you will be dumping material place a brick

or some other solid object. Then you can lower the front of the scoop

on that object to reset the lever. Try it the other way first.

My dirt scoop is one of my most used implements.

I use a scoop with my N's. Just hook it to the three point hitch and adjust the top link to get the proper bite in the soil. I have never had a clutch problem with using one. Take it slow, use first gear, dont't overload it and be careful on slopes.

If it the kind I am thinking about, I was told to never use one as you"ll burn up your clutch.

clutch can give out IF the scoop is used for heavy digging whereas the the rear tires are spinning to get traction. just light digging at slow speeds should be alright. i would not push an old tractor like a ford "N" series too hard or there will be clutch problems. box blade with scarfiers to break up hard soil would be better and then scoop up.
