You gave a great view of the process. I have that problem with my 8n. I lifted a tandem 19:50 disk and after that it does not. want to pick up my two bottom plow, or anything with weight. I really appreciated yo knowledge on this, thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge! Dave
It sounds like you may have sprang a hydraulic leak inside the tractor. I'd pull the cover off where the dip stick goes and look inside while it's running to see if you have any fluid spraying. The lift cover gasket blows out some of the time around the fluid passage.

Not yet. It's close enough that I haven't wanted to take it apart again just because it doesn't drop quite all the way down. If I need it to lower that last few inches I just flip it over to draft mode. I'll get back to it eventually.
I'm back with more questions! The "Jig" you mentioned. I was not able to understand the name you said. What is the name of the Jig supplier? Do you happen to know if there is a Jig for the Jubilee (even though it does not have that long arm you straightened)? Thanks so much. I do have the manual now thanks to you!
First thing I would do is remove the inspection cover where the dipstick is at. Next move your quadrant control up and down to see if the control rod in the tractor moves properly. If that checks out then the exhaust valve in the pump that releases the fluid is probably plugged up. If that's the issue you may need to drop the pump and do some cleaning.
I have a Jubilee (NAA). Where did you get all your specs for spring length, off set of lift lever, ......... What manual do I need to purchase so I can have those specs for my model?
I used an I&T shop manual that I picked up at my local Tractor Supply Company. I&T also makes a manual for the Jubilee so if you have a TSC store near you they should have one. www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/i-t-shop-manuals-ford-shop-manual-fo19-48-pages
Not really. In the 40 some years my dad had the tractor, It never worked right. Someone may have had it apart before and tried to do some adjustments or just wasn't careful with it..
You would need to have the lever up in the position mode and just set it at the height you want. I assume the mower has a wheel on the back that will help it ride over the bumps. The hydraulics on the 8N will let the mower move up as needed but only come back down to position you have it set at. If you tried it with the lever down in draft mode then it would just drop the mower to the ground and only try to raise it if you snagged it on something.
I really like watching DYIers, l’ve learned a lot from them. You did a great job on the video, but… you do realize that the “bent” control arm is factory bent and should not be straightened.
The problem was that with the amount of bend it had it wouldn't work right. I watched several other videos and the control rods on them looked straight so I tried that, but that was too much. About half as much bend as it had works properly.
@@xpsgarage Thanks for the reply back, I’m getting ready to tackle the top end and replace the piston and your video has great insight on how to get the. I am enjoying gleaning yo
Thanks for taking the time to share all this information! Saved me from completely pulling my hair out. Love your channel man keep it up 👍🏻
No problem. Happy it helped.
You're very sharp I'm glad I found this channel my 8n lift has a mind of its own
I hope the video helps you get yours fixed.
Dude I got it working!!!
Agree, your a pretty sharp guy figuring all that out.....good job!
You can't go wrong dealing with " just 8n's"... Real good folks.
Yes they are. I've ordered a bunch of stuff from them.
Damn good video on the measurement internally for the top cover….very nice job…and informative.
Thanks! It's just too bad all the measuring didn't do any good with the bent rod LOL.
Were those measurements in the FO-4 manual?

Would be awesome to run an external pump to the draft control and do away with the pto driven pump. Would be live three point then.
Awesome video,thank you so much for this.
I will be attempting this on my 52, 8N this winter.
I still need to fine tune mine a bit, but it's been working great. Good luck on your project.
Very good video man!
Thank you! Hopefully I will be able to make some more 8N videos soon.
Gracias amigo ,tengo que levantar la tortuga del 8N y estoy juntando coraje Feliz año nuevo!
De nada. Feliz año nuevo

Can you provide the links to the various parts you replaced in this repair
Did you ever get this dialed in? I noticed the bushing for your lift arm also looks shot as it had some slop.

Here is a link to the jig. I've never seen anything like it for the Jubilee. www.just8ns.com/LG500-Years1939-52-Lift-Jig_p_2850.html

Arms go up but don't come down on ours. Any suggestions on what the issue may be?

Any idea what may have caused the lever to bend?
Not really. In the 40 some years my dad had the tractor, It never worked right. Someone may have had it apart before and tried to do some adjustments or just wasn't careful with it..
I have a 1949 8n and the hydraulics will only come up half way. I am pulling the top cover once the weather warms up.
I have a 1952 8n and I have an old 5ft rotary mower. Should I have the little lever up or. down to mow uneven areas?
You would need to have the lever up in the position mode and just set it at the height you want. I assume the mower has a wheel on the back that will help it ride over the bumps.

Ok, thank you for getting back to me. I really appreciate it.
@@TedBaylard-wn2qh No problem. Good luck with the mowing.
my lever to raise and lower the 3 pt only moves about an inch, pto still goes up and down but not alot. what is my problem?
Sounds like something might be bent. Like I mentioned in my other response get an I&T service manual so you can dig in and find the problem.
thanks
7:57 pm good show about hydraulics...

Sorry, halfway through you lost me. Not very clear.
I understand. I was learning as I was doing it. Do you have any specific questions?
