52 8n oil change

[ezzy]

should I use different wt. oil for summer months due to the high humidity in the south or is it ok to use the same type of oil year round

Generally if it doesn't get below freezing, a HD sae 30 is a decent oil to use. If your oil pressure is a little on the low side.. try a HD sae 40 or a 20w50. 20w50 will be suitable year round even for colder climates.

Remember to change that oil filter too, and service the air cleaner.

I've got 3 fords.. a 52 8n, 54 NAA and a 46 2N.. as well as some other flavor tractors..

Chris-How can you tell a 9N from a 2N?? Chuck M.

Easiest is the serial number... but there were other changes too.. rear hubs are rivited.. not smooth centers, radious rods on the steering help you determin age, as well as sheet metal setup ( doglegs changed 9n to 2n.. in how they attatch ).. also early 9n had cast aluminum hood.. front steering axle spndles had grease fittings forward on 9n models.. later went to reaward... lotsa little things like that. Basically you hope the engine is oem on that machine, as that is the best indicator of date., then you try to see if the small features I mentioned match upo to the engine searial number date specification.

Other things too.. brake pedals chaged.. steering wheel changed.. type of aux transmission shifter setup changed.. governor chaged to add an oil line.. so therefore, the oil line routing on the engine also changed.. etc.

Hood emblem was changed to add a tiny 2n.. etc.
