I have been looking for a front mount N motor for a couple of years. None to be had anywhere close to AZ. I found one on the East coast but shipping was hard to believe. I bare block 80 miles from where I live was $500. I couldn't even find anyone that would trade for a side mount in good shape.Sooo, I guess I will use the motor that came with the tractor. I bought it as stuck but the problem was a piece of starter drive stuck between the housing and the ring gear. I didn't want to use it cuz it had been cracked and JB welded. I will clean up the old JB and redo it. I need the tractor so I can put a loader on it(I already have the loader) for occasional use. Prices for old fords around here are PRETTY high.The tractor was really cobbled up.Good winter project. Gonna start after Thanksgiving.
