8N,Jubilee, NAA Steering Seal Fix

[@andrewmantle7627]

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.

[@Jason1Pa]

😆 That's what I'm calling from now on!!

[@cyrilbrun8764]

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 .

[@Jason1Pa]

😆 I think I'll just call it a multipurpose tool from now on!

[@farmall51]

"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 .

[@Jason1Pa]

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. 😆

[@shirleyolson109]

@@Jason1Pasecond one can be put in with the lip outward, this keeps outside dirt from entering, thus the inner seal stays clean!

[@Jason1Pa]

@@shirleyolson109 That is what the felt is for.

@6:15 that is a Linoleum knife. You do a Great job with these video's.

[@Jason1Pa]

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

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

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!!

[@Jason1Pa]

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

[@GuntersGarage]

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!

[@Jason1Pa]

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.

[@jjay718]

Nice job. My 48 needs the same seal. I like the idea of doubling them up.

[@JohnSmith-fs4dx]

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.

[@Jason1Pa]

Awesome!! Glad the video helped!

[@elliottgoad3128]

Love these old tractor videos. Thank so much.

[@Jason1Pa]

You bet!! Thanks for watching!!

[@stevejanek8072]

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)

[@Jason1Pa]

Thanks Steve!! Thanks for the feedback. Good luck with your 51. If you ever need help give me a shout.

[@stevejanek8072]

Thank you for this, Jason. You offer the very best N videos in my opinion. Great job as usual!

Thanks!! That means a lot! Thanks for watching!

I always learn from your videos. Thanks!

Good to see you back! Your new camera does a great job, good sound also.

Hi Rick so good to hear from you! Hope all is well. Thanks for letting me know all is well.

[@rockerpat1085]

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!!!

[@Jason1Pa]

Thanks Pat!!!

[@yogibeer9319]

This video is gold! I have the same problem on the same side lol. Thanks for a great video!

Thanks Harry!!

[@donvoll2580]

Good day Jason from Ontario. Yes it was a good video, sound good. Thanks

[@Jason1Pa]

Thanks Don!

[@MrVintageRestoration]

That's a Jute knife. Used for cutting carpet among other things

[@markbyfield7050]

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.

[@Jason1Pa]

That's a good idea. In this case though I think the tape would of made it too tight. Thanks for watching!

[@MrVintageRestoration]

Those harbor freight pullers are pretty handy 😁 gotta make due with what ya got some times!

[@Jason1Pa]

Absolutely!! Got to love Harbor Freight tools!! 😆

[@calvaryassemblyofgodsouthi8046]

Great video work. My NAA steering box has a lot of play from side to side when turning steering wheel. Does box have adjustment to take out play? Is there a way to add oil to box? Thanks

[@Jason1Pa]

@calvaryassemblyofgodsouthi8046 Yes the stud with a locking not on either side of the box will adjust slop. That is if it isn't too worn-out. There is a bolt on the right side that can be removed and squirt oil into or probably better yet corn head grease

[@calvaryassemblyofgodsouthi8046]

Thank you kindly!

[@JimK-tu2yy]

Great video. What kind of puller did you use to remove the pitman arm?

[@Jason1Pa]

That is a Harbor Freight one.

[@jon7091]

Also used to cut carpet

[@texxfletch1]

Camera and audio are fine

[@Jason1Pa]

Good hear!

[@georgem.kokindajr.941]

Good job! & good video too.

Thanks George!!

[@benkanobe7500]

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!

[@Jason1Pa]

@benkanobe7500 Everything Ford related in my videos the parts are purchased from Just8ns. com

[@benkanobe7500]

@@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]

@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]

@@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!

[@Jason1Pa]

@benkanobe7500 no problem. Glad you got it straightened out!

Carpet cutter / hook bill blade/ linoleum carpet cutter

[@brianvannest467]

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?

[@Jason1Pa]

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.

[@kennethrinicker8013]

Can you tell me what is the purpose of the small lever on the right side under the seat on my 8N?

[@Jason1Pa]

That is the draft control. It's only used (pushed down) when your plowing with your one or two bottom plow.

[@kennethrinicker8013]

@@Jason1Pa thank you

[@Peter-od7op]

Wonder how you service box

[@Jason1Pa]

@Peter-od7op You'd need to take it off and let drain out upside-down through the fill hole. 🤣

[@Peter-od7op]

@@Jason1Pa someone was saying take off steering wheel fill thru shaft. Is that correct

[@Jason1Pa]

@Peter-od7op A newer style yes. Old style no. However, it is a very time-consuming, in my opinion. I take out the one bolt on the side and use a squeeze bottle. You can also use corn head grease. I personally wouldn't use regular wheel bearing grease. It drys out after a while.
