Couple three years ago I thought I would get into the 8n fords. prices had came down a lot. After the 3rd one I decided to sift gears. Now mind you the 8n is a good little tractor for some things. Since I have bought a couple of internationals. a 300 and a 400 utility tractors. Although I have ran either much they seem to be a lot more of a tractor than the 8n. They don't seem to be as hi priced as the fixed up 8n fords. Parts for the 8n are easier to get. Am I going down the wrong path. What do you think.
 
'restored'/ repaired 8N s are more 'valuable' than the old Farmalls.No need to be 'exclucive' on any one tractor/brand.Buy/fix/sell whatever comes along.
 
You mean you have an International W-400? If so, it's not really a utility, more correctly a standard tread tractor. The International 300 utility and W-400 are heavier, more modern features, more powerful, and will work circles around an 8N.
The little 8N's are really over-hyped, and they have come down in price since 4-5 years ago. But they still bring about twice what they are worth.
 
I have a 300 and 404. both are utility tractors. The 300 has power steering which I really like. Restored 8n tractors around here do seem to bring more money. guess its just ones preference. This 300 has a fast hitch with 3 pt adapter, It is a lot more powerful than the 8n. The fellow I bought the 300 utility sent me an farmall 300 operators manual. I know the farmall is a row crop and there are differences in manuals but is the 300 farmall and utility the same as far as the tranny, reR END, ETC, THANKS Norm
 
Some parts interchange, most do not. The gear ratio of the ring and pinion are faster in the Utility to account for the smaller wheel/tire combo. The utility has the hydraulic reservoir under the seat the Farmall has it under the hood. The engine is the same. The TA is the same. The PTO is the same. The transmission is the same. Jim
