You have a good looking old Ford. I never was a fan of 9N's for 2 reasons. 1- who at Ford thought it was a good idea to put the clutch & left brake together? 2- you always have to have an over ride clutch on the pto when running a bush hog unless you want a quick ride over the hill. It looks like you've done a lot of work to make it look good. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for posting this video sir! Other brake videos skip the required steps to accomplish the job, including pounding the wheel off the hub! It’s a job to due the replacement. I also noticed others packing the aftermarket seal with as much grease as they can fit inside the new seal. I understand that with the aftermarket seal no oil will be available to the bearing but holy…. Subbed
I guess it s the same procedure for my 39 9N, when she needs one. I like that quick seal, a real time saver. Thanks Dave from the southern shores of Georgian Bay. ( looks like she s still working the fields )
I hadn't thought of that because they are everywhere here, Ford make literally millions of the N series tractors. You do have the TEA20 tractors though and they are geared and balanced much better than the Ns and have much better traction. Good to see you again BB, thanks for hanging out!
Hello Dave my name is Robert and and I have a ford 2n and I was wondering if I can adjust the breaks without removing the tire? It stops but not as quick as it should. Thanks for your time!
The square knob sticking pout the back of the backing plate is the adjuster. I don't remember which way to turn it but you would turn it the direction that gives you more pedal. Thanks for watching!
Good vid. I have a 47' 2n. Fun as hell to ride and does the job for food plots. Question I have is did you have to drain the hydraulic fluid before pulling the axle out ? I heard and read that it's necessary but is it really ? Thanks
Likely it doesnt stop because of oil seal leak that let oil get all over drum and brake linings. Fix the oil leak with new seals or the speedy seal(pack the bearing with grease because the speedy seal keeps oil from reaching the bearings). Then use break cleaner to clean the drum and back plate. Install new shoes. It'll stop.
The 8N is a little different, actually easier like a car the brake drum is separate from the axle so you only have to remove the brake drum not the whole axle. Thanks for watching!

I am glad you enjoyed the video, this tractor is a customers. Thanks for watching!
My 9N still works the fields after 81 years.it s easy to get use to, the change came on the 8N.

Yes, your 9N would be the same. I expect the owner has some plans for it, I think mainly plowing snow. Thanks for watching!
@@CanadianRedneck15 Thanks again Dave..
I am amazed at what you find parts for.
Luckily there were over a million of the 9N and 2N tractors, so after-market companies still make stuff for them. Thanks for watching!
Always wanted a 9N few and far between over here.

Where is over here?
You should have fully packed the bearings on the side that you put the speedy seal on.

any concerns, with needing to mark the axle spline for the same placement location when sliding in back into the transmission...thanks for sharing
No, there is no master spline it will go back in any position. Thanks for watching!
Nice job fellas!
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
Hi Dave
I can't see how that bearing will get any lube.
Pack it full of grease ?
Yeah, I guess I forgot to mention in the video, some grease in the bearing would be a good idea. Thanks for watching!
On a roll again in making new videos
Yup, back in the saddle, thanks for watching!
How do I change the studs that hold on the brake drum to the axle
I haven't tackled that one, I'm not sure. Thanks for watching!
Good vid. I have a 47' 2n. Fun as hell to ride and does the job for food plots.
Question I have is did you have to drain the hydraulic fluid before pulling the axle out ? I heard and read that it's necessary but is it really ? Thanks
Hey Dave hope all's well............thumbs up.
Thanks buddy, all is well here, hope all is well with you as well.
Another nice one
I am glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching!
I have a 9N and the brakes are non existent . How well will it stop with new brakes ?
With new brakes working correctly it should drag the wheels. Thanks for watching!
Likely it doesnt stop because of oil seal leak that let oil get all over drum and brake linings. Fix the oil leak with new seals or the speedy seal(pack the bearing with grease because the speedy seal keeps oil from reaching the bearings). Then use break cleaner to clean the drum and back plate.

Hi Dave, great video! Will this apply to the 8n as well? I have a 8n that needs brakes.
The 8N is a little different, actually easier like a car the brake drum is separate from the axle so you only have to remove the brake drum not the whole axle. Thanks for watching!
@@CanadianRedneck15 Thanks a bunch!
You didnt grease the bearing that you put the seal on. Gear oil can no longer get to it.
Didn't mention how to adjust brakes
The square knob sticking through the back of the backing plate is the adjuster. Thanks for watching!
great video...now play it at normal speed so someone whos never changed brakes on a 9n can see each step in real time...
I have done videos like that in the past but no-one wanted to watch hours long videos. Thanks for watching!
Great video Great website. Very difficult to hear you. You need a better mic.
I am glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching!
Ain't no sense putting new brake shoes on , if you get oil on the shoes.
Thanks for watching!
