The oil filler tube on my 9N is loose-fitting as it enters the block. I lost the whole thing in a field once and had to wait until weeds died to find it. Just wandering if anyone knows of a Good method of tightning 'er up. Thought about smearing J-B Weld around the shaft and sanding her off a bit until she fit tight or I could just pound a 'flat' place and try that except I just don't want to create a problem that don't exist.

The best way I have ever found to correct the loose filler tube is to remove it from the tractor. Place the end that goes into the block over a piece of round steel stock of just under the size if the ID of the tube. Strike the side of the tube just a little up from the bottom with a ball peen hammer all the way around the tube and up as far as the tube fits into the block. It doesn't take a lot of strong blows. Just medium strikes all the way around and up.

Smear on a little silicone glue (3M) and using a flat piece of orin or hard wood on top of the tube drive it back into the block.

Works every time. You can make it as tight as you want to by just adding strikes as needed.

Yep, it'll work on anything that will take the hammerin. What happens is: where ya strike with the ball, the metal thins out just a bit. Where the metal goes from under the peening—is sideways. It actually "expands" the metal.

That's a common technique for auto body workers. If ya gots a sheet of metal that ya want ta make bow out a little, put a "dolly" on the back side and beat the front side a bit. Works great, but takes a little skill to make it work out right. Good body work doesn't require a lot of Bondo, just time and skill. That's why we don't see much of it anymore.

It's also gotten cheaper to replace the fender than pay the labor to hammer it out and make it right—so we've lost the people who had the skills to do good quality work. The sheet metal has also gotten thinner (lighter) and harder to work with. You still see this kind of quality work in custom body shops where they get $$ for their labor and skill.

Thanks for the heads up. I sometimes think that my problems with my "N" is unique and then to find that many, many have had the same problems and the answer is in the archives somewhere. I found several solutions and I will try one of them.
