FORD 9 N FOR WELL DRIVING

Well-known Member
I have this old 9 N with a rear pulley--removed the pulley and bolted on a wheel rim. I run a rope around the rim and lift a 120 lb. weight to drive in a well. The rear pulley on a 9N runs too fast and burns up my rope. It does a great job of driving--just to hot because of the RPMS.
I am thinking of bolting a rim to the rear tire and rim on the 9 N and jack up that side.
QUESTION Do I need a small rim or a rim that had a 14 or 15 inch tire. I know how to use the rope............Want power and decent RPMs---thanks
 
I would try a 15" rim. With one rear wheel not turning the other wheel will be going twice as fast. You can try out the different gears till you find the right speed. If I remember right a 9n will scoot right along in high gear so as an example if you put it in high gear and pull the throttle wide open the rope might be going too fast.
 
as i stated in the other posts i had to use a 10 inch rim at low rpm so the rope wouldn't burn--had plenty of power to lift the weight which was around 100 lbs
 
You used a lawn mower--is that correct. A rear rim with the tire off. I don't have a lawn mower--two zero turns.
 
any slow turning drum will work--helped my brother drive his well with an international scout--we welded a short piece of 8 inch pipe to a circular plate that bolted on the wheel studs--- we each used a diff amount of turns to be comfortable with the arm pull we needed to raise the weight
 
Did you have it throttled way down? I'd try a small wheel on the PTO not a belt pulley.

Of course you know jacking up one wheel is fine but if it falls off the jack it's a runaway.
 
you need something higher than the well pipe length to attach a pulley to---the rope goes up from the wheel to the pulley and to the driver weight. the weight should have a small length,3-4 ft piece of pipe on the bottom that will fit in the well pipe and will keep the weight aligned with the well pipe. then with the wheel spinning and a couple of turns of the rope on it you can pull on the rope and easily raise the weight, you let it free fall and it drives the well pipe down
