What's the price on fixing a cracked/leaking exhaust manifold on an 8N. Could this be a bigger problem than it looks. Oil pressure at low idle is about 20. When you apply gas, pressure pegs the meter over 50 and stays there. Also, the tractor seems to keep going a bit when you step on the clutch, until you hit the breaks, which work great. Is there something wrong there. Any estimate on cost to fix would be appreciated.

Very good oil pressure for an N if the gauge is right. Mine is about 30-35 cold and drops of to 20 when at idle. It also fades a little as the oil gets hotter.

New-Holland will charge you around $80 for a new one with gaskets. You can find a repro at any number of vendors (click on Marketplace/Parts & Supplies on your left of the page) for less. Depending upon where your cracks are, it may cost more to repair/weld than it is worth.

Hope this helps..... ..... Ed

Buy a new one! If you consider the time taken to remove and replace and then what you will pay to have it fixed and also the new gasket, its a bargin. Central Tractor has them readily available.

New manifolds are not that expensive $65 or so. Old cast iron has probably been carburized and will be difficult to weld. Exhaust manifolds do eventually "burn out" on some engines more readily than others, depending upon use. Unlike inboard motor boat exhaust manifolds that are water cooled, N-Tractors are air cooled and glow in the dark under hard use..... ...Dell

the cost to fix the manifold will depend on what welders charge in your area but a good welder that knows his stuff can weld it as for the tractor moving when you push the clutch it sounds like the clutch needs to be adjusted a little as the clutch is not releaseing completely does it go into gear easy or is it grinding until it finally goes in if the later is the case then it is out of adjustment and needs to be set up hopes this helps Ron
