Well, I got about 4 more hours out of the 8N this weekend. It was running good, until... the head gasket blew (or at least I hope that is what it was) :-( Steam started coming out from the front while I was running. I stopped checked the radiator, and low and behold, no water. So I added water, then I couldn't get it started. I was checking things when I noticed that water was leaking pretty good out of the carb intake. Plus there was an oil coating in the radiator. I just might do a real rebuild now, I sure hope my block hasn't cracked anywhere. I'll probably have time to get the head off tonight after work and inspect the gasket. It weren't no fun pushing that sucker (with a front end loader on) back into my garage while my wife steered. Luckily I was able to pull it out of the woods with my truck.
