Found a good spot for those new rear tires

I took the new tires, rims and centers off [b:d2ee4c525a]this[/b:d2ee4c525a] 8N I bought and put them on my 3000.
The 24's that were on the 3000 were the ones that had the leak I posted about in [b:d2ee4c525a]this[/b:d2ee4c525a]
post. I like the 28's better anyway and my Pie weights will fit so I won't need to load them.

No fenders on the 3000 right now because I'm getting ready to
put the cab on it as soon as I get the snowplow mount built.
The plastic "ghost" between the rear tires is covering a new seat.

We used the 3000 to tow that 8N around for a 1/2 mile or so
with it in gear and the clutch held down trying to get the clutch
disk to free up from the flywheel. No such luck.

At least the 8N's engine runs and now that I semi-fixed the
exhaust leak, it sounds pretty good.
More plans for the 8N that now has the 14.9 x 24's on it next spring.

Yep. I was gong to rebuild mine but worried about down time.
I can swap them in a day or two and rebuild mine if I want.
Or, just put mine in this tractor and have them both running.

The steering gear box on the one I want to fix up also leaks.
I see no signs of leakage on this gear box and it has very little
play. So I'll be making the best of the two into the one I keep.

Why would I rebuild my engine if I can just swap them?
Because I'm a bit OCD. This one is a '51 the other is a '52.
Ya, I know. I just like matching numbers. :roll:
