Cam, what type is your Number 8?? I think they made them both tractor mount, like the older No. 5 (with the mounting ears that bolted up on the sides of drawbar frame assembly) and pull type both?? I had and used one years ago but have slept too much since then to remember. I see no reason why any type you have wont work PROVIDED the mount is fore and aft sufficient for the PTO shaft to fit and work and theres clearance relative to the rear wheel. If pull or mounted, it probably requires a hydraulic cyliner to raise and lower the bar (I dotn think the 8's had any hand lift levers like some 5's), so does the A have hydraulic output couplers out the Power Trol to attach the cylinder hoses??? If not, they can be added and rememebr, you then have to select for them to be hot versus the rock shafts turning. Good Luck, Ol John T Nordhoff in Indiana

The No.8 is semi-mount just like the No.5.

No.8 mowers also had the cable (connected to rockshaft) or hand lift options in addition to the hyd lift option like the No.5. (No.5 also a foot lift option). I have the books that show all the lift options.

FYI...

No.9 is 3-pt hitch mount.

No.10 is side mount (mounts on side of tractor beside the engine)

No.11 is pull type, drop in the hitch pin and connect the PTO shaft.

What comes after that? 250, 350, 450???

Yup, it should work good. I would suggest you get the owners manual as it tells how to set it up correctly to your tractor. Have fun, I have a #9W.
