I live in Central Minnesota and I am thinking about buying a tractor so that I can plant some food plots, work my garden, plant trees, and remove snow.
There is an 8N for sale not to far from my place. I can't tell the year of the tractor it is for sale on consignment, the gentle man that is selling it said that it started when it was pulled off the trailer this fall. This person also recommended rebuilding the carburetor.
The tires are weathered and will need to be replaced and that looks to be about an $800 or more. I did not look at the rims and only discovered the importance of this as I read past articles in your forum (very helpful).
I would like to have a compression test done before I buy the tractor. The sale does not include any implements.
While I would not consider myself a mechanic I am willing to do some work on the tractor. My fear is that I will be buying a money pit.
I looked at your suggested price list and that was helpful. The price for the tractor seems to be in the $1500 range.
Looking for some advice, please respond.
Thank You
