I have a 49 8n and was wondering what the correct position is for the axle? It came off with this lineup: Spacer,washer,axle,and washer. I don't have a problem with that except that it will touch the dist cap and sparkplug wire boot. That is close. I'm sure that with a new bushing and pin that a lot of the play will go away, but It's not too bad now. Can I put the spacer on the motor side of the axle? Thanks for any help I can get.

Thanks Guys for all your help. I'll take every thing under advisement and go have some more fun. The new pin and bushing should be in soon. I tried to get the bushing out, but haven't had any luck. I think I'll get the pick ax out and go at it.

John - be sure to check the hole the bushing goes in. The previous owner of my 8N did not do this.
The hole in my axle was worn at the bottom. It was about .075 out of round. I had to take it to a machine shop and have it filled in and rebored to the right size. A new front axle here in east Tenn is $400.00 Hawk (TN)

I agree with Jim's comments, having had to use pretty much the same formula of washers and spacer to get the proper clearances on my '50 N front axle.

John, I removed and replaced my front axle pin in December. Before the change my No2 position on the dist cap was always getting broken. The references I was able to find indicated the spacer should be on the front side of the axle and the 2 or 3 washers should be on the back side of the axle (towards the engine). After putting it all back together with new pin and bushing, the axle could not move up far enough to hit the No2 post anymore. Because the bushing and pin will wear over time I have installed a 3/16 inch piece of metal on top of the support (2n3029B) on the opposite side from the dist, to limit the axle movement up towards the dist.
