Britcheflee 09-09-2012 21:08:14 67.187.170.181 Report to Moderator	Have been in contact with seller - regarding this: http://modesto.craigslist.org/grd/3258954741.html Was told by my tractor mechanic not to purchase a non running 8n for anything over $800 - has box scraper and discs (might use the scraper would probably never use discs) - said it was running when parked, has 6 volt front mount and engine 'stuck' - apparently someone came over and said it was the starter.... Not sure if to go for it or not, or save up a little more and look for a Jubilee. Thoughts on price? Lee [Reply]   [No Email]

Look for a 600 series with a piston type hydraulic pump.The vane pump is OK IF you use the right oil. [Reply]  [No Email]

They've been out there a while too. One for almost a year. :shock: [Reply]  [No Email]

Better rear axle, better hydraulics, etc. NAA Jube was a transition tractor so kind of a stepchild. Rear end parts much harder to find if you ever need them. [Reply]  [No Email]

I smply am not interested in N's anymore for some of the reasons the other posters mentioned. too easy to get a slightly more updated tractor for similar money as a good N or NAA unless you NEED thos implements and want a N project.. look for something else.

Figure $300 for the box blade and $300 for the disc if it's good and has good bearings. Now you're down in your $8 -$900 range for the tractor. I wouldn't just write off the engine at this point. If you bought it pour a cup or two of ATF or MMO down each spark plug hole and let it sit for a couple weeks. Then try bumping it over with the starter a few times. You'd be surprised how often they will free up. Here's the link [Reply]  [No Email]

Besides the engine being stuck with ten+ year of sitting the valves will likely be stuck also. For $1500 around here you can get one that's in better shape and drive it on your trailer. If interested in the scraper blade ask if he would like to sell it separate. If he sez no than contact him in about six months/ a year or so and ask again. My bet at that price is he still has it.
