Hello all! Last week I purchased my 1st 8N, a 1949.
I did a bit of research on 8Ns before the purchase and feel I got a fairly good example for a fair price. Purchase was from son of PO and didn't know much about it or how it was used other than it had been in the family for 20+ years.
I have been lurking and trying to learn more about these tractors from the collective brain trust here. Obvious goal is to safely maintain and operate the old girl.
Fresh fluids and a carb rebuild have it starting and running reliably and I moved on to the 3pt system. PO had an incomplete set of drawbars and there were some bars/brackets attached to the rear axle from an unknown implement.
Attempting to remove these brackets exposed a slight problem; the lower left lift rod attachment pin spins in the casing and I can't get the nut off to attach my lift arms / drawbar.
I searched through the forum trying to find a relevant post to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.
