Okay, I have been working on my 8n for about 5 months. While fixing one thing I usually end up needing to repair something else. It stated with the distributor gear pin shearing off. After replacing everything electrical correlating with starting I finally achieved correct spark. Then needed to replace starter. Starter turned over once engine fired starter bendix shattered. I was told I had turned the Bendix when installing the starter and therefore it would not disengage. Thus I had to purchase a new starter as I could not "see" how to replace bendix. Carburetor was leaking when I placed new fuel in the 8n. Rebuilt carburetor, problem solved. Turned the engine over a few times. Engine fired and ran for awhile. Distributor firing order was off. Repositioned distributor. Went to start tractor . 8n turned over then was freewheeling. Sounded like Bendix was damaged again. Before I could go to the shed and look for the stuff I needed to make gunpowder. I remembered this forum. I was extremely careful not to turn the Bendix when I installed it. Can anyone tell this shade tree grease monkey what the blazes I'm doing wrong? I've been working on on trucks and cars and engines since I was tall enough ( with a chair ) to reach under a hood. I'm 60 now. I cannot even find a tractor repairman that will even look at the 8n. Can't afford a new or used tractor. The 8n was running perfectly when this started. ..... Help please? :x

Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
