I have a book that shows a bull dozer blade similar to Dell's pic but not the tracks. Also a picture in there of an N with a road grader front on it. The tractor is twice as long as a regular N. The pic is in "Clasic Ford Tractors". It's really got a lot of unique Fords in it.

Many use this much more common and cheaper rear 3-point mounted blade for "dozing".

Remember there is NO HYDRAULIC DOWN-FORCE. Why? because you will LIFT the rearwheels and loose traction.

As fer yer front axle kingpin, the "archives" at the top of the page of this great N-Board has MANY discussions about it. My advice to you is to "squander" $27 (cheap) for the I&T FO-4 manual which has excellent pictures and instructions on how to replace yer worn frontaxle kingpin. And will also answer alotta yer other questions too. Isn't that amazing? ..... ....respectfully, Dell

Jason - ARPS made a front dozier blade for the N Series tractors. It had pivot brackets that I believe mounted to the sides of the tractor so you could raise the blade out front with your rear hydraulic lift arms. They are fairly rare, so when (and IF) you find one it will be pricy. They are more common up North for snow moving.

As far as the front axle kingpin and bushing, they can either be easy or very hard. One tip is to completely remove the front axle and pound the kingpin out from the bask side with a good drift of a good 1 1/4" socket (it fits perfectly) and a BFH. Now, if the bushing is worn to the point of wearing through, you can probably scrape it out fairly easily. However; most are really stuck in and are very tough to remove due to corrosion and dis-similar materials. Some have taken a hack saw blade and cut a slice out length-wise to aid in removal, but be careful not to cut into the actual axle.

Good luck,
Dan
