Hello all!
The air intake grill on my 8n has the thumb screw but the nut is missing. what type of nut fits the hood to fasten the grill? And who might sell them? thanks
 
ken be , Take the thumb screw to a auto body shop and have them find you a spring body/finder clip to fit your screw.
 
Mine uses J nuts and I think a wing bolt. Google a pic, there are several styles and a good
hardware store will have them.
 
HiYa Ken-
Do you mean the air cleaner vent intake on the RH side of the hood near the dash? There are no thumb screws on the N-SERIES tractor. The air vent door fastened with a
special differential screw and wing nut. Grille is held on at bottom special pivot point bolts and clips in at the top with two latches. Parts made and sold at Dennis
Carpenter.

8N AIR CLEANER DOOR VENT SCREW
 
Don't forget to install the screen behind the grill. If you buy one from Just 8N's, the screen
they sell was patterned after my original 1951 8N screen. I had loaned and mailed my original to
Don at Just 8Ns. It was the pattern for their screen. I received one of theirs as a thank you.
It is still in the packaging as received.
 
HiYa Ken-
Tell us what you learned and if you meant the air cleaner vent door...inquiring minds want to know...again, NO Thumbscrews on the N-Tractor except the Marvel-Schebler
TSX-33 carb Throttle Adjusting Screw but was obsolete when the TSX-241 Carb was released.
