My Ford 8N is starting to burn oil. Smokes some from the breather cap not the exhaust. It runs fine and the tires are good. The body is rusty. Everything works except the tach. I use it for mowing and lifting items with the loader. Should I overhaul the engine and restore/paint the tractor? I could do everything my self except for overhauling the engine. I could remove the engine from the tractor and take it to a machine shop. Estimated cost to overhaul engine with new parts, $1400.00. What is the value of these tractors? What will the value be in 15 years when I am not using it any longer?
