hello,
I mainly tinker of Farmall's but have a chance to pick up an 8n with a loader for cheap. cheap because the rancher tells me the clutch does not work at all. so, any of you fellas have an estimate of labor and cash to split the tractor and install a new clutch?
many thanks

An 8N is the simplest thing you could even split, and install a clutch in.

However, good blocks, jacks and/or a hoist are required to do it safely.

What's wrong with the clutch? Often, they will rust and stick, so they do not DISENGAGE. Often, they can be made to release without a teardown.

If the clutch is only STUCK, and not burned out, so it doesn't try to move the tractor when in gear, post back, or just go over to the "N" board, and search the archives for "stuck clutch" for tips on breaking it loose.

Oh, yeah, and are you SURE it's an 8N. rather than a 9N or a 2N?

For one thing, ALL 8N's have a 4-speed tranny, and BOTH of the other 2 "look-alike" models have only a 3-speed tranny.

not sure if it is an 8n I guess. they just all look alike to me, not being a ford collector I suppose. I'll have to ask the owner, if it were another n-series, does that have any bearing on the ease of splitting? and he had the clutch adjusted 2 years ago, due to it sticking all the time. Now he thinks it is just wore out and beyond adjustment.
