For those of you with good memories, you'll recall I have a 1941 9N with stuck motor. Nothing has changed.
However, I've been talking to a local man with an 8N that he wants to get rid of. Engine is good, trans is bad. It was a county piece of equipment and supposedly they chewed up the trans trying to pull start the tractor. Anyway, motor was running well when he bought it.
Any chance the 8N motor will bolt up to the rest of my 9N tractor? I've not yet taken a good look at his tractor yet---last time I saw it was buried in the weeds. He has all Farmalls, about 20 of them, doesn't particularly like Fords. Not relevant to what I'm asking, but interesting nonetheless.
Thanks for any help--I expect this is probably not going to be a match, but I don't have a good enough eye to see if bolts are in the right place, etc. I suppose main thing is the starter needs to be positioned the same.
