I have another question...I was studing my hookup closely and my lift arms are connected under the axles on brackets below the fender nuts. I was wondering there are two studs sticking out from the sides of the differential. Is this where the lift arms normally connect, or is this for the stablizers. The next question is the one of them has the threads torched off and leaks. Are those little pins replacable? and how do you do it?

Llamas is correct. The rear axle housing isn't too bad to get off. Be careful not to break any studs and do the job right. On our 8N, the housing taper was slightly obround but with a lot of care, we basically hand filed it to accept the new stud.
Also, smear the taper with silicone sealer before installing. This should help minimize your leak.

Brian, Remove those lift arms and leave them off the tractor until you have replaced the pins on the inner axle housing like Llamas stated. Pulling from the stabilizer brackets can be very dangerous, as they were not designed to pull any loads from. There is great danger in breaking an axle trumpet and possibly tipping the tractor over backwards. Correct this before someone get hurt.

You have been the victim of "field expedient engineering". The lift arms should be mounted to the studs which are attached to the sides of the axle housing. The studs mounted on brackets at the outer ends of the axle housings are for stabilizer bars.

The correct lift arm studs can be replaced but to do so, you need to remove one axle housing, to access the nut and cotter pin on the inside. Removing one axle housing allows you to reach through and access the nut for the stud on the other side. The new studs are not cheap - about $20 a pop. Make sure you get the right ones - 9N/2N have a straight tenon, 8N are tapered.

llater,
