Trying to post 3 pics at once.
2 are from my Game Camera at the farm.

One is my 1949 8N with ORIGINAL rubber.
I am the second owner.
I still drive it with these tires!

Hope these pictures come through.

I just brought it home in that picture.
Also got the Dearborn disk with it at that time.

Still using the 6 volt system also.

You might want to get in touch with a company like m. e. Miller tire, or any other vintage tire company. They would drool over the opportunity to mold those!
 
Larry, I don't plan to paint it.

I used to see a lot of arguments about "correct colors" of different parts of the 8N.

I will try to upload a picture of the paint on the end of the rear wheel studs and the rear wheel nuts.

I am the 2nd owner, and bought it off an older lady.

I am positive that no part of this tractor has ever been painted or touched up, as you will see from the picture.

Note the paint color on the nuts and studs.

I know this will likely bring out the "color police", but you can see for yourself.

Hi Hank,
That 8N brings back memories. We had one that we used in the early 1950s. We also had an IH SC with loader, mower, cultivators. 8N was used as a utility tractor, raking hay, running the forage blower, hauling wagons and hauling logs in the winter in the woodlot.
PS don't try going on a slippery side hill with those style of tires without chains!!!

Hank, the 8N colors are just as I remember them. The only thing missing is the black differential oil streaks on the hubs. We had to change the rear axle seals on ours to keep the diff grease from leaking onto the brake drums.
Amazing that the original tires are still holding up. What brand are they?

I didn't know the Ford script was supposed to be painted. I'll do that when it warms a bit. Are the headlight backs gray? Thanks for posting. Gerard
