My father in law has an 8n, with front mount dizzy, that has been sitting for quite some time (10 years or so). Probably next week, I will be bringing it into the shop to see if I can get it going again. I spun the PTO and the lift arms started to rise, so that's a good sign!
However, the transmission has been missing it's fill plug for a while, hopefully it's not a catastrophic mess in there. We will see.
Once it's in the shop, I'll put some ATF in the cylinders and see if I can bar the motor over.
My main question is in regards to the governor and carb. The linkages are rusted tight and don't move. Any chance these can be salvaged, or should I just plan on replacing them?
