The 2N Ford ran a 8 volt for years with no adjustments and no problems, The resistor on those tractors cut the 6 volt down to slightly over 4 volts and would not have enough power to start. Ended up getting rid of that resistor that Farmall and John Deere did not have in there6 volt distributor that they say if you put 6 volts to the Ford points you will burn them up. After getting rid of that resistor that was making the tractor stop at bad times and putting a 6 volt battery in place as 8 volt was not avaiable no problems. The 1950 International truck would hardly start as not enough power to points putting an 8 volt battery in with no other change used for years. All the problems they say you will have with the 8 volt battery we never had. I have had more problems with electronic ignation than we ever had with points. Dad and I both had cars with the electronic we had to carry a new modual in car to change many times on the road as it would just stop the car from running. If I could go back to points it would get rid of the electronic ignition problems I am having in my daily driver. That electronic system left my late wife stoped dead with the car in middle of traffic in left lane of 4 lane road in town. Several men following when it shut down pushed the car out of the road. I hate electronics and would never by a trtactor converted. But no do nothing to put a 8 volt in instead of a 6 volt. I am going by experiance.

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
