Attaching auger

I am a true rookie tractor operator, servicer, mechanic, etc, having taken over those duties for a neighbor whose husband said to heck with it.

I am trying to attach a "The _einbach Line" (the one letter is mostly worn away but could be a 'B'), auger to a '48 8N tractor. It's obvious I'm doing something wrong because I can't get the darn thing positioned so that the auger's drive shaft will reach the PTO.

I do plan to obtain an 8N operator's manual but I'm supposed to get fencing up for a horse pasture within the next few days so I'm desparate (it's the wife's horse!!!).

I really would appreciate any help I can get. Oh, and since I don't even know the nomenclature of tractors at this point, simplicity is appreciated.

it's Leinbach equipment. Not sure if you did or not, but you have to remove the top link from the tractor. Where the toplink(the uppermost arm in the center on the 3pt. hitch on the tractor) pull the pin and remove the adjustable arm. there is where you attach the center of the post hole digger, and the other two sides w/the pins to the lower lift arms. I have seen people try to hook them up before and try to hook to the top link. As others have said, PLEASE BE CAREFUL! My younger brother's friend died last year as a result of a post hole digger on a 8N ford. Most new post hole diggers come with a handle so that you can position it from the operators seat on the tractor. This is the safest place to be. If my description wasn't clear, let me know and I'll try to clarify. Good luck, and take your time digging the holes!

Post hole diggers are more dangerous than they look, so folks might not want to say too much, feel bad if something happens to you...

So, what have you tried so far? You have the PHD attached to the 3-point on your Ford tractor. And the pto shaft (the shaft that snaps onto your tractor, and goes up to the angled head of your PHD) does not reach your tractor pto (Power Take Off)? Does the pto shaft on the PHD slide in & out? It NEEDS to, sometimes if it sat for a while it doesn't want to. Sometimes if it has sat a long time, it _really_ won't want to slide....

If this isn't the problem, where are you at in the process, and what isn't coming out? Has this PHD been attached to this tractor before? Sometimes the pto shaft needs to be a different length, altho this is not typically a problem with a PHD.

I kinda think the first letter is an 'L'?

Yeah, what he said! Post hole diggers are pretty dangerous, be careful. I usually turn it as slow as I can and not bog down the tractor, don't try to turn it fast or it will whip around and break something (or somebody!)

If the pto shaft is stuck, stand it up and run oil down it until it will come loose. If it doesn't reach at all even after it's extended, you've probably got something hooked up wrong.

Good luck,
Kerry

Usually, those things are able to extend unless they are frozen up. My spreader for three point has a tube that slides up in a tube that is forever getting grit, rust, and whatever and getting stuck. When it does, You just have to work at it until you get it freed up.
