We're starting a new restoration project on a '51 8N. This will be a full, pretty much correct restoration from the ground up, inside and out. I've posted a webpage that will follow the progress from start to finish. If anyone would like photos of parts, components, procedures used, or anything else, let me know and I'll get some taken as we go. When the restoration is complete, the tractor will be donated to the St. Jude Childrens Research Hospital charity auction to be held in Brimfield, Illinois on April 12th, 2003. All proceeds from the sale will go to St. Jude and the buyer will get the restored tractor with an original "N" tool kit, operators manual, and whatever else we might come up with between now and April. It should be an interesting project. Check on our progress now and then and let us know what you think!

So, do you need a pair of 19" front wheels with the Ford script? ;-)

Hi there John, I checked out the link and read about the tractor you are restoring and auctioning. I am making a contribution via paypal.

Thanks, Kevin! St. Jude is an excellent organization and we're hoping the tractor will raise a fair amount of money for them at the auction.
