Hi all, thanks for adding me to the forum.
I have a 1949 8n that had a transmission failure 30 years ago. It was replaced with a rebuilt from Central Tractor and had functioned well until a few years ago. The tractor is lightly used around the property and not terribly abused since the transmission was changed. A few years back, it started making a noise that I thought was the throw-out bearing because the noise was more noticeable when the clutch was disengaged. A few weeks back I was using the tractor and the noise went away, along with any power to or through the transmission. No BANG!, no snap, no grinding, just loss of input. I have been looking for a replacement trans but have decided to wait until I can split the tractor to make sure of what I need. Anyone have any experience with this kind of failure?
Thanks,
TM
