Dan: The thin steel sleeves went in a season around here and it started with the 8N. The sleeves resembled cracked eggshells at best after a short while and had to be replaced. The fact that Ford admitted they had a problem and went to thicker.090 cast sleeves was proof of that. The real problem was that farmers were trying to do too much with them. You can't pull two plows in heavy red clay sod for instance. You can't do a lot of things with them but farmers tried anyway. We considered them amusing little things at the time, but they have found an ideal spot on people's estates mowing lawns, etc. Great.
