i bought two 8N's a few months ago, both for parts. new wires, plugs and points filed and got them both to run. i picked the best from the two and combined a few parts and got this old gal. she has a busted block that has been repaired in the past, and the cyl head had a crack at the water jacket. JB weld is holding that for the time being. i've made a list of things to fix or repair, have a bunch of parts on the way. its been steam cleaned, and will be getting a fresh coat of paint. Green and Yeller of course
kidding, it should be against the law to paint a Ford that color combo
going to try a can of IH white and IH red from tractor supply, if i like the color then i'll stick with it and buy more paint. the IH white has been said to be a little too white, but this is not going to be a complete restoration, simply want a good running tractor that is clean enough to look good, and rough enough to still work as needed.
first up is pulling the rear wheels and bearings. hopefully i can get away with new bearings and seals and not hubs, axles or both. wishful thinking only gets you so far, so we will see when its taken apart
