were these tractors 6 or 12 volt when new,How to tell what year?(tag gone off engine)It has early style gearshift lever. has extra tank under hood but not hooked up. Were they that bad on gas? Did they come with proofmeters and temp guages? as this has them. And where could I find an original precleaner jar and clip? Thanks in advance for any help I can get as I want to make this correct. Ken

Hard to tell the year of a Funk kit. There is a casting number on the side of the engine block (opposite the manifold) with I believe a number and two letters. The number is the year the block was cast (for example, 7 for 1947), which means the engine was probably a 1948. The engine, though, could have been used or old stock when installed. The tractor will have a date code on the bottom of hydraulic pump that would say the year of the tractor (if it hasn't been replaced). Some early 8N's had a date code on the front of the rear axle housing. 8N's after mid 1950 had the black gear shift knob, tachometer, and an adjustable steering gear (set screws sticking out the side). The steering gear and tachometer could have been added at a later date, though. They never came from the factory with a temperature guage, except for the kerosene burners (lower left on the dash).

As far as the precleaner, tractor parts places that sell Ford parts sell aftermarket jars and clips. Don't know where you can find an original. The engines were six volt back then. And yes, they sucked a lot of gas when used in the field. Ten gallons didn't go very far. Funk sold an auxiliary gas tank to fit behind the standard tank, which is probably what you have.

Good luck.

Thanks for the info Bill. It has the flat head in it and channell iron frame rails. Would there be any way to tell the year by casting numbers? thanks Ken

They was 6 Volt. The early ones had the channel iron frame, later ones had the cast iron pan instead of the channel iron. All the early ones had the flat head industrial engine in them and a few of the later ones had the overhead valve engine in them.The extra tank was an auxairly tank, they had a temp guage and tach in the 8N models. The air cleaner assembly was about 6 1/4" in dia, and about 14" tall. It hangs out at the side.
Beware on using 12Volts, it will break starter extension!

I have one of each in the flat head version.
