I recently acquired a Woods Brush Hog and attempted to attach it to my 8N only to find that it touches the rear wheels when lifted with the 3-point hitch. Also, the PTO shaft is too long after attaching a PTO shaft enlarger and over-run clutch. Any suggestions on this problem?

Set the quadrant stop at the point just before the mower hits the wheels, cut the shaft off to fit.

Rich, Check into buying some longer lower arms and anti-sway bars. I've bought them cheap at
a Buchheit's store near us or your local New Holland dealer will have them. Use a tape measure for center to center distances. They are easy to swap on and off. I have a 5' Junior Brush Hog for
my 8N and it's really heavy. Be careful.

Rich..... .."shorten" your PTO shaft for your brush-hog with a hack-saw.....equal amounts both inner and outer shaft and plastic safety shield. It should be obvious which ends to cut, not the U-joint end (grin)

Most users with 5' brush-hogs generally have sufficent clearance from their rear tires. Most users use "anti-sway bars" from below the rear fender mounts to the lower 3-point hitch points on the mower to keep from "bumping" into the rear tires.

If you have a 6' mower, the eazyist answer would be to remount your rear tire out one "notch". Remember N-tractors are designed to have "adjustable" wheel spacing. Check your owners manual. Its really quite eazy to do.

As the self-appointed safety preacher, I am pleased to learn you have got the "religion" and already have an "over-running coupler".

Hope this helps, yours for safer tractoring..... ..Dell
