Dave hilley 38 11-03-2009 04:30:55 216.222.240.227 739607 Report to Moderator	My brother in law aquired a 50 or 51 8N. It has proof meter. There is another lever aprox 18" high just in front of PTO shifter It is mounted in cover plate just ahead of pto shifter lever. It is spring loaded & looks to be factory mounted. I have had & seen over 30 8N fords, but never saw anything like this. I have checked all my books & can find no reference to this lever. [Reply]   [Send Email]

It has a proof meter, but also has a front distributer. All I was wanting to know was: what the xtra lever was for, as I have never seen one before. I am sure engine was swapped. due to the dash & proofmeter. It must be a 1951 or 1952 for the most part. I have been told the lever was for live pto, also that it was to be able to stop tractor while pto is still running. We will find out when he gets it running. I (and I suspect a number of others here) would be very interested in seeing a picture or two of the mechanism inside - perhaps taken through the right side inspection opening????? Please, pretty please :D TOH Is this what you want to see? Thanks Dunk, Ive actually seen that before. My first reaction this time was that's an NAA but when I looked at the image URL it says 8N..... TOH I think the one for the NAA, or at least one of them, had some integrated hydraulics. I don't think the one in the pic does. All I know about them is what I find on the Internet.   [Reply]   [No Email]
