8N Repair SW Michigan

8n4jr · Jun 10, 2018

Hey I'm in Southwest Kalamazoo County Texas Corners Mattawan area.

Trying to find somebody that I can take my Ford 8N in for some repairs, the Hydraulics won't lift the three-point, I have a squealing noise on either the alternator or something else, I need some other General work done.

If anybody knows of somebody that they can send me a message with their phone number and or email it would be greatly appreciated thanks!

Sorry, but my reply isn't about your post, but about Kalamazoo. My Cousin, born in Sebewaing Michigan, moved out west, as we call it where she was a grade school and middle school teacher and worked in a school, just up the river from Kalama Washington.

One day, her and her class were going on a field trip and my cousin was wearing a T-shirt that had something about visiting Kalamazoo. One of her students piped up and was very confused about the zoo in Kalama. I'm sure i found that funnier the some people would, but Kalama is probably quite a bit smaller then her home town of Sebewaing.

I wish you well in your quest for your Ford.

The 8-N is so basic that any tractor shop with an old fart working there can handle it.
I bought an 8-N and a 9-N and a manual 18 years ago and repaired engines, rebuilt hydraulic pumps and a bunch of other repairs and I had never seen either one of them before that!

I wouldn't bet on it. Neighbor work's in Greyhound shop where an expert from factory put on a 3 day training for modern engines. A mechanic had a T model engine he was working on. Factory guy couldn't understand how the engine could possibly run.

It's the old fart you are looking for...

I'm no help on finding them, but try asking the local ag. tire guy, he knows who's out there...
