Hi guys:
I would like to buy a 8N Ford, but, I was wondering if there was a way to "tap into'' the hydralic system. I need this to operate other implements other than a 3 point system. All help and feedback would be appreciated.

Tracy: Dell's advice is right on. But even if you tap into the hydraulics you will have very marginal oil and pressure. It will only move a small cylinder slowly. Almost 50 years ago we tapped into a 1954 NAA system to run a cylinder on an NH3 applicator.I would have to stop and wait at the end of the field to pump enough oil to lift the rig, and this was with the NAA's live pump! However, many 9 and 8Ns were plumbed into to slowly power loaders and such, and it was a great improvement over the pitch fork. Mike-Iowa

Tracy..... ....yes, there is a rather unsatisfactory way to "tap" into the weak sister N-Hydraulic pump that pumps about 2.5 gpm and 1500 psi. Basically, you chain down your rear 3-point lift arms, disabling them and diverting the hydraulic pump output to the hydraulic pump baseplate corner pressure test port. Remember, its pressure up and gravity down. And everytime ya clomp yer clodhopper on the clutch pedal, the tranny's PTO driven internal hydraulic pump stops pumping.

Howsomever: frequent N-Board contributor "Zane" has developed an eazily installed external external pump live hydraulic kit that plumbs back into the hydraulics pressure port. Do an N-Board search for more info. Also check out the LINK.

Just as a point of refference: most external hydraulic pumps output 10 gpm and 2500 psi. You know sometimes it helps to know what and why you think you need to use the internal hydraulics, a better answer can be custom made just for you..... ...respectfully, Dell
