I have a late 1952 8N rear end for sale on Ebay. No bites so far. It has non leaking axles with dry brakes. also, PTO shaft, lift cover, upper arms, nice brake pedals showing almost no wear. I bought it with the intention of switching it with the one on my 48 8N. But, I had already bought all new parts including the axle ends, seals, etc. I also did not change it myself as I decided it was to big of a job at my age and after a recent surgery. I still think this is a good way to go because of the better double or extra seal in the trumpet ends. Pass the word if you know someone that could use it. It's too good of a piece to go to the smelters, but I need the room. Bill in SW MI. I may make it to the Ionia show.
