Hello all, enjoying this board and the help gathered so far reading.

1) Have a 1949 8N that leaks gasoline as near as I can tell from the tank where the sediment valve threads in. The tank is not rusting so I would think that it is not leaking; it seems to be only around the threads of the sed valve. I've drained the tank twice and reinstalled the valve with gasket sealer...still leaks. Is there supposed to be a true gasket in there? Should I just replace the entire sed bowl assembly?

2) Also, I need to go ahead and replace the leaking rear axle seals that seem to be ruining the brake shoes. Where can I order/buy these at and does anyone know the parts I need?

3) Finally, I discovered that the overflow tube for the radiator is totally detached from the neck of the radiator. Can I use something like JB Weld on it to reattach it?

Cheers!
Bob

I just replaced my rear seals about two weeks ago. Both sides were leaking badly all over the brakes. Seals didn't cost me more than $8.00 each from FNH dealer. When putting things back together I made sure that everything was real clean and also used RTV silicone sealant. I had a lot of life left on my brakes, so I just cleaned them real good with some degreaser and a burned the rest off with torch. So far no leak and I still have great brakes.

I'm sorry, but I don't have the part number any more. I think that it is called a seal retainer assembly. I also picked up two cork seals for each side.

First of all I order all my stuff from Dons and just 8N's. Real good guy and can answer all your questions. Best price I've found for parts and shipping.
As far as the Sediment bulb I'v just used teflon tape on the threads and had it hold just fine. Make sure it is coming from the tank Threads, you could just plug it to make sure it is that and not your sediment bulb set up. As far as the overflow tube from the radiator, you can solder that back on your self. Real easy.
Good luck
