Live Thang....

I am a little new to the 8n stuff.

Thanks!

I have sold a lot more without the filter than with but really don't have any feedback to speak of as to the value of the filter.

It sure does make the tractor seem like a whole other machine once you have the live hydraulics though.

I am about to inherit another 8N that my brother in law owned when he died and a nephew bought. It is a 48 like the one he bought new in 48 and I mostly learned to drive on. I am going to install a LIVE THANG on it too. I already have one on my 52 8N. He had started restoring it and had it in pretty good shape before he died. New brakes and axles and hubs and an engine job. The other nephew painted it for the owner and used the wrong color and lost the stabilizer brackets that I will have to replace. I may even paint it again to the right color. I will then have five tractors and two acres of land with the house and shop covering some of it. My wife keeps telling me I need to sell something but when I talk it over with the tractors none of them wants to go?????
What's a feller to do?

Adding a filter in the return line will give you a hyd system that is at least partially filtered.. much like your crankcase filtering.

While not necescary.. it would be an upgrade and an improvement, and may hlp the life of the pump and deffinately the valving, and deffinately won't hurt anything.
