That tool is a Ford tractor pitman arm seal remover, linoleum knife. Looks like it works best for the first one. Thanks Jason. Thanks for the new content.
I had one of those in my shop for yrs as well and found out 2 yrs ago what it was ( linoleum knife) i used it for paint removal , on wood , in tricky places , works great , now i see another use :) Audio , video and content is top notch as usual . Valuable content --- Thanks .
Thank you SO MUCH. This is EXACTLY the video I needed. Have an 861 that needed the same repair and I couldn't get those seals out for the life of me. Thanks again.
"Every tool is the right tool if you know how to use it " is a good quote . Enjoyed the video . On the seals I try to use 2 if I can to have double protection if possible . I know it may seem like a waste but with the seals as thin as they are it dont hurt lol .
Yep I actually my go and put another in. Actually I probably could get away with sticking a new one in with the old seal,but that would of made a boring video. 😆
Both video and sound quality is “perfection” Your videos are very well done and incredibly informative. Thank you so much for these! Have a “51” 8N and look forward to all of your content. Keep cranking them out my friend. Great Job (as always)
I attempted to rebuild the steering box on out Jubilee back when I was still in high school. What a disaster that turned into, lol. My buddy did carpet work he always called that tool a duck knife, he used it to tuck the new carpet under the trim. I believe its called a linoleum knife. Good video as usual!
These boxes require a lot of patience and some trial and error. Fortunately I found this one in a junk yard that has zero slop in it. I didn't do anything to it until now. It's been on there for 2 years.
I believe that's called a linoleum knife. We use them to cut rolls of sod to size for new lawn installations 😂 I've noticed the seals on my H were way smaller than the originals too. Great video!!
Ding Ding Ding your the winner!!! I seriously have no clue where that knife came from. It's always been around. I don't ever recall cutting Linoleum EVER LOL
Always Fun Getting The Old Seal Out!!! I Think We All Have Knifes Like That!!! Carpet Or Flooring Knife I Think!!! Good Repair!!! Keep Rocking It Out Brother!!!
Thanks for the video. That’s a job I need to do on mine and was wondering what was behind the pitman arm! I always wrap some electrical tape tightly around splines to protect the seal lip.
Hi! I was watching this bc I recently bought an 8n and it is missing the lock washer and nut on both pitman arms. Is there anything special about those parts or can I just go to the hardware store for replacements?
It's unlikely you will find a nut that size a fine tread at a hardware store. I searched through some parts places and to my surprise I don't see new ones. Your best bet is to contact someone that is parting out a 8n to get you some.
@@Jason1Pa Thank you for the wonderful how to video as my tractor is leaking in that exact spot and I see so many others doing the same. On a chance, I tried Just8ns before getting this and they did not list the seal by that number but one digit higher. So I purchased two and in the notes explained I did not find the pitman arm steering shaft seal when I searched but found the one I purchased and if it wasn't correct to please advise me. They are good folks so I suspect they will fix it if I made a mistake. Thanks again and I look forward to more videos from you!
@@Jason1Pa OK. I did. (They did). Your video shows "8N3581B" which is why I was confused. But as stated, the good folks at Just8ns saw I ordered the "8N3591A" as that was what was available in the position picture for that seal so in the end, I have the correct seals. (Now I need to get the correct Felt as what was sent looks nothing like what you installed). Thanks again, excellent video!

😆 I think I'll just call it a multipurpose tool from now on!
Nice job. My 48 needs the same seal. I like the idea of doubling them up.
Thank you SO MUCH. This is EXACTLY the video I needed. Have an 861 that needed the same repair and I couldn't get those seals out for the life of me. Thanks again.
Awesome!! Glad the video helped!
Love these old tractor videos. Thank so much.
You bet!! Thanks for watching!!

@@Jason1Pasecond one can be put in with the lip outward, this keeps outside dirt from entering, thus the inner seal stays clean!
@@shirleyolson109 That is what the felt is for.

Thanks Steve!! Thanks for the feedback. Good luck with your 51. If you ever need help give me a shout.
@@Jason1Pa That’s incredibly kind and gracious of you. Thank you so much 🙏
This video is gold! I have the same problem on the same side lol. Thanks for a great video!
Good to hear! Thanks for watching!

Thanks Chris! Yes unfortunately the seals of today just aren't the same. Kind of sad.

Thanks Harry!!
Good day Jason from Ontario. Yes it was a good video, sound good. Thanks
Thanks Don!
That's a Jute knife. Used for cutting carpet among other things
Thanks for the video. That’s a job I need to do on mine and was wondering what was behind the pitman arm! I always wrap some electrical tape tightly around splines to protect the seal lip.
That's a good idea. In this case though I think the tape would of made it too tight.
Thanks for watching!
Good job! & good video too.
Thanks George!!
Those harbor freight pullers are pretty handy 😁 gotta make due with what ya got some times!
Absolutely!! Got to love Harbor Freight tools!! 😆
Camera and audio are fine
Good hear!
Carpet cutter / hook bill blade/ linoleum carpet cutter
Also used to cut carpet
Great video. What kind of puller did you use to remove the pitman arm?
That is a Harbor Freight one.

Where do we order the seal and O-Ring? And the felt seal, where do we order that? This is an excellent youtube just need the parts!
@benkanobe7500 Everything Ford related in my videos the parts are purchased from Just8ns. com

@benkanobe7500 Number:8N3591A should be what you are needing for the seal. If any questions I'd call Derek at Just8ns and ask just to be safe.

@benkanobe7500 no problem. Glad you got it straightened out!
Can you tell me what is the purpose of the small lever on the right side under the seat on my 8N?
That is the draft control. It's only used (pushed down) when your plowing with your one or two bottom plow.
@@Jason1Pa thank you
Linoleum knife
Looks like a linoleum flooring knife to me.
You got it!!
