I got the snowplow on my 8n. Found out the subframe needs to be tilted to install as the pins are so da-gone wide. But...it fits.

He was a farmer by birth and a farmer by choice, and like many returning soldiers, he was our silent hero: without medals or decorations, but with a certain ability to survive. It was on his farm that I learned to use the combination hand clutch and brake on a John D
