Hi all , just got my first 8n , a good runner original sheet metal etc , far as I can tell all original except the 12 volt conversion. It appears the Sherman actuator cable is of course frozen up , trying numerous soaking methods etc to hopefully free it up. The 64 dollar question is can this cable be replaced from the top of the tractor or does the tractor need to be split. I have an extensive mechanical and paint and body background but don't really feel I have the correct "stuff" to split and properly support a split tractor so hoping it can be done from the top, have read somewhere it can be done but figured I better ask the experts !! Thanks in advance Wes
