Hi all I just got a 52 ford 8n that had been in a field for quiet a while the told me somethang was wrong with the hydraulics on it so got it home had to buy a carb for it got it running adjusted tappets and engine runs great transmission seem to work great I engaged the pto and try the lift and the lift did not work would not do any thang at all so I flushed it out with kerasene and refilled it still nothing so I went ahead and pulled the top cover and looked it over seems to be a good shape well than I started the tractor up and just a little fluid movement out of the tube that runs up to the top can put my finger over it no pressure so I pull the pump out of the bottom clean it up with kerasene and cleaned the all valves up found out the intake control valve spring was broke and replaced the spring cleaned it all up then I submerged it under some oil and used the pto shaft to turn it pushed the intake control valve in and still nothing no pressure so pulled it out then I took the valve chamber off on the end and it seems the pistons are real loose in the bore and the pto shaft bushing is wore out. do I need to replace the valve chamber or just the pistons and what is the piston bore size also can those valve chamber be sleeved where the piston go in. this 8n is new to me and I don't know what the next step is. has anyone ever had this happen and what does it take to fix it and where is the best place for part I located in St.Cloud Florida Thanks for any help Jason /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
