111. DESCRIPTION.
The Model 8N Ford tractor is provided with a steering gear assem-
bly of the automotive
ball nut type. It is a highly efficient, easily
serviced unit which is readily adjustable to compensate
for wear.
This steering gear has a low driver fatigue factor because of easy
steering and a minimum
of road shock.
The tractor is equipped with a four forward and one reverse gear
transmission. The transmission contains constant-mesh helical gears,
assuring quiet running and providing for long life.
The power take-off is driven from the transmission countershaft.
A power take-off adapter is available to extend the shaft when such
extension is necessary
for fitting certain implements.
The adapter
meets the American Society of Agricultural Engineers' specifications
for a'standard tractor hitch. Any implement built to these standards
may be hitched to the Ford tractor without the purchase of addi-
tional accessories.
The tractor hydraulic system consists of a piston pump
driven
directly by the power take-off shaft, and a self-contained hydraulic
unit which includes the ram cylinder and control linkage. The hydrau-
lic pump and unit are located in the center housing and employ the
transmission oil as the hydraulic fluid. This design reduces the possi-
bility of external oil leakage, and greatly reduces repair costs.
The belt pulley assembly is self-contained,
and is driven by the
power take-off shaft. The pulley assembly is easily mounted on the
tractor and has a separate oil supply.
