Hi all , I got the M home ok . It only took 14-1/2 hrs . We just squeezed the tires in between the fenders of the trailer with some flat sheet's of metal as guides . I thought that we might pop a bead but we didn't . Trailer trailed great at 70 mph . I didn't check it out with a fine toothed comb yet but the initial inspection proved that it did indeed run very good with a very little misfire occasionally . The carb doesn't leak gas , and it has good oil pressure at least for the 20 minutes or so I had it running while I test drove it and loaded it . It steers very hard , and it makes noise in all the gears but not while coasting with the clutch in . A growling , rattling bearing type noise that we think is from the input shaft bearing . The M&W 9 speed works ok but is hard to get back into the lower side . It has mismatched tires on the rear with one being a 15.5 X 38 instead of the 13.6 X 38 ( 12X38 ) and it is not in as good of shape and it does have fluid in it ( just one tire has fluid ) . It needs a good bath and a rubdown to remove the years of dead paint and accumulated dried grease . I don't know if the hydraulics work or the belt drive but the pto works good with no load , it's got a good /usable clutch , good brakes , new cap , rotor , spark plugs and the gas don't smell bad . I think that maybe the trany/final drive has water in it , that I'll have to check out better . All in all , I'm satisfied , not thrilled with it but not disappointed either . To see a picture of it go to my last post - ( Bob Frey -In regard's to the offer ) ...and look under Ed Topel's reply ( Thanks Ed! ) ...Randy

The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
