When your old Ford tractor starts running rough or the distributor shaft has play in it, this little bushing might be the culprit. These classic 9N, 2N, and 8N tractors have been working farms for decades, and the distributor bushing takes a beating from constant rotation and engine vibration. A worn bushing lets the distributor shaft wobble, which throws off your timing and makes the engine run poorly.
What You’re Getting
- Precision-fit bushing that supports the distributor or governor shaft properly
- Quality bronze construction that handles the constant rotation without seizing up
- Exact dimensions to match your original part—0.370 inch length with 0.564 inch outer diameter
- Direct replacement that restores proper clearances and smooth operation
Built for Real Farm Work
This bushing is designed for the distributor and governor systems on Ford’s legendary N-series tractors. These workhorses powered countless farms from the late 1930s through the early 1950s, handling everything from cultivating to hay cutting. Whether you’re keeping a working tractor running or restoring a family heirloom, this bushing helps maintain the reliable ignition timing these machines are known for.
Made to Last
Farm equipment bushings need to handle dirt, moisture, and constant use without binding up. This one’s made from quality materials that resist wear and corrosion, so you won’t be tearing into the distributor again anytime soon. The smooth bore finish ensures the shaft rotates freely while maintaining proper support.
Good to Know
Installation requires some disassembly of the distributor, so it’s a good time to check your points and timing while you’re in there. A little light oil on the bushing during installation helps it seat properly. If you’re working on the governor system, this is often part of a larger repair that might include other governor components.
