Well, the 49 8N I recently got (this is #2) gave 19 of us a great Thanksgiving day. We loaded hay on a trailer and 6 households had a progressive dinner - using the old 8N to shuttle us around the neighborhood. It got kinda cold a course later in the evening. Everybody had a blast and the 8N, with front and rear lights worked like a charm! I think we have started a new tradition for Thanksgiving.

Anybody else have a great 8 holiday story?

garmo, it sounds like you had a great time with family and friends.
when ever we have friends come up to see us from the city, i try to incorperate a wagon ride. iv had about 17 people on it at one time.
i have asked if they are getting gassed [from the exaust, not from what they are holding in thier hand.] and they always tell me no. however they do get sleepy,,,,,just kidding. my exaust has a little pipe that is bent on a 90 that points to the ground. it seems to work.
before i retired the 41 9n i took my wife and kids for a ride. it lasted about 4 seconds before the smoke from the old girl got to them.
when ever i would work in the bush during mosquito season, i would leave it running . it worked as a fogger.
keep having fun.....dale b

They said the exhaust was not bad - it was a little worse when we stopped to let more folks on. I just have the straight pipe coming out the back end. I always seem to soak up the fumes in my clothes and hair though.

My wife don't want to get too close after a little tractoring, until I have showered. Gonna give her a tractor driving lesson today. Then I'm gonna make HER Shower.

Any body out there got any remedies for that? I don't know if a special muffler would do anything there or jsut raising the exhaust pipe over head.

Yeh. I too hooked up my 49 8 N after dinner and we took 12 people on a trailor ride through the neighborhood. Do you have problems with exhaust fumes going back on the folks on the trailor? I extended my exhaust straight up about 6 ft. into the air and still need it higher. Sure is fun having an 8 N. It purred like a kitten. Steve SA

How does that vertical exhaust work? Does it keep you from smelling all fumy? Was it hard to run the exhaust upward? Got any pictures of the ole gal?

well,
I snuck out to the garage and drained my trans/hydraulic oil and flushed it out with 4 gals of diesel fuel before everyone went over to my sisters for dinner. I took a shower and put on nice clothes before we left but somehow I managed to get some diesel fuel on my pants.
UMMMMM the smell of turkey with all the trimmings, fresh baked pies and diesel fuel all during dinner. My sister finally made me change into a pair of my bro in laws pants.
Last year I managed to step where the dog had been and then came in for dinner.
That didn't go well with turkey either.
If I make this kind of stuff a tradition they wont be so thankful to have me over.

Ultradog - next time have the wife drive the tractor on a hayride, after making an excuse that your groin is a hurtin - then she will be the stinky one.
