running hyd off my 8n to run a log splitter

[PANHAPP]

If no loader maybe up front? I had this setup on a 641 for 30 years and it worked great. The tank was in the loader frame.

Better off to get rid of the old obsolete N Ford and purchase a real tractor . That has a drawbar, live high volume-high pressure hydraulics, SCV and live pto.

your posts shows you know little about ford tractors.

ford 8n had provision for a swinging drawbar.

While exceedingly rare.. live pto ( and thus hyds) was available with a pinion coupler / hand clutch.

mind you.. I'd jump to 55 or later for all of the above.. or at very least.. late 52 with a naa and moded hyd cover for a scv..

i only did it to point out his lack of knowledge on the subject.

Everyone has an opinion.. and that's cool. but if you are gonna 'hate' on a machine. at least have your facts straight. Nothing like running down a machine.. and then find out you didn't know what you were talking about. .. that's GOT to be embarrising.

So .. yeah.. there was method to my madness.

Atleast the 8N had a 3PH, something Deere did not have til the 60's.

:laughing:

Excellent point.

And just curious cause I dont know, has John Deere ever produced more than half a million tractors of the same model??

I think 300,000 is the most of any model JD produced. The whole idea of the 8N (and 2N and 9N)was to use the 3 pt. hitch to mount implements. The 8N had position control which was a good improvement. Such a novel idea that never really caught on.

wrong

3pt on 1953 on the model JD 40. Had live hydraulics too which the Ford still lacked. Real working brakes, a drawbar, dual rockshaft, an SCV and six different chassis variations.
The patent ran out on the 3point hitch and Henry Ford ended his handshake deal with Ferguson minutes afterwards. Then Ford "threw Ferguson under the bus" . The 3 point hitch wasn't even a Ford idea.
The early N's did not have a factory drawbar and instead used the 3pt. Only a 3 speed trans with ta too fast 1st. Towed loads were too often attached to the 3pt and raised or to the top link attachment point because the lightweight Fords lacked pulling power. Hence the rash of squashed Ford operators found under N series Fords.
The N series Ford would not plough the clay here even with just a 2X12".
The Ford was popular because it was the the cheapest tractor on the market. Ford had an established dealer and distribution network. Ford tractors had automatic brand loyalty with Ford highway vehicle owners. The Ford or anything else was better than driving around a field looking up a horses behind.
Where is Ford today anyways ???
