The only leak I seem to have on my 1945 2N is my lift arm shaft (lower link Support). The problem seems to be that the nut end, inside the axle shaft housing seems to be loose. Can anyone think of a way to stop this leak, short of removing the entire rear axle shaft housing.

Thank You,

Chuck

Chuck, you have to pull it. If its any help I am mechanically challenged and I did it myself with a chain hoist in the barn. Really not hige project ; maybe a couple hours for a rookie like me. Couple of points; make sure you drain the tranny oil:>) When you order the pin get the washer,gasket, and nut with it.When you place the gasket soak it for a few second in water first and then take your time fitting it; just keep re-indexing it one stud at a time and when your right you'll know it. Good luck; should be no problem.
stay the course and keep the faith

Here's a pic of my 50 8n "Pin" like Dell said the pins are different between the 9n/2n and 8n but the location of the pin and labor involved are the same.

hope this helps.

later,dave

POOOOO OR TRACTOR! 'Twixt one more picture and the Coors Lite, the little darlin' must have twice as many cobwebs as hours.

Just kiddin', Dave. ; ^ ) This guy, and I'm sure many others, appreciate what a picture can "learn" us. A thousand words is just an average. It ranges from "nice to have" to "priceless." Many thanx.

Nope. Ya gotta take off the axle trumpet. It's really not a hard job, just takes some time. Check the archive for details. I did mine this summer by pulling the right side since it needed new seals anyway. Most recommend to pull the left. Axle trumpet is heavy, so have someone around to help bully it around, or do as I did and chain it to the garage ceiling joists with a come along and swing it out of the way to get to the castleated nut on the inside.

Is there a reason to pull the left side not the right? Is that left as sitting on the "N"?
Can you get to the Lift Arm Shaft from the opposite side?

Steve..... The reason for pulling the left side is a 2 fer 1 deal. You can get thru the diffy to the right side eazy. More harder to reach thru diffy from right side to left side. Of course, there is no law that sez ya gotta remove just the side that yer werkin on, but you can if you want to. Convention, left side as the driver sets.

Then ya find double ended ferry boats where the Cap't changes which end of the boat he sits on and then port is uh, thats uh, starboard, uh thats uh..... ...Dell

I guess I'll pull the left side and do them both.
If you're going to do one you might as well do both, since the work is the same. The only thing
I hate is pulling that tire full of water. Is there any trick to meshing the gears right, putting the housing back on?

Thanks,

Chuck

Chuck..... Like every one has said, just bull work. When you jack up your tractor rear end, don't clear the ground, wiggle the rear tire side to side. If its gonna fall, get outta the way (grin). ..... Dell

Chuck..... .."sorry charlie", the only "cure" for leaking lower link pins is the "hard way" by removing the axle trumpet and tightning the cotter keyed castellated nut. Remember, that pin is operating in "sheer" and transfering a pulling load. It takes an awfull lot of "abuse", its got to be "tight". And NO, welding is not an "option". You might want to check the "archives" at the top of this most excellent N-Board for more info.

Its really not that "difficult", mostly grunt work. Think of it as an "opportunity" to replace all 5 gallons of hydraulic/tranny/diffy oil.

Remember, 200 ft/lbs torque. Then cotterkey it. Sometimes the lower hole gets "wallered" out, some N-Board members have reported success using "J-B Weld" as a "sealant". Remember, the lower link pins for 9/2N's are straight sided BUT 8N's are tapered and are not "interchangeable"..... ...Dell
