Went to an estate auction in Caswell County, NC Sat. There was an early 8N. Looked like the owner bought it new and kept it up... except you couldn't tell what color it was. The sheet metal was in great shape except for the surface rust. Was original 6V system, and cranked and ran good. Sold for $2700.

I don't believe that 2700 dollars was out of the way on a decent 8N. People seem to like them better before new paint is put on . I think buyers think you are covering up some flaw when you repair and paint before selling a tractor. I bought a 1949 8N two years ago with new paint for 1800 dollars at a sale. I have since put nearly that much again restoring tractor to original looks and performance. Much of the "NEW" paint has been washed off with power washer along with the dirt and grease that wasn't cleaned off before painting. The tractor will be like new when it is finished this time. A friend of mine (83 years old and former Ford tractor dealer ) is doing the more complicated mechanical work. He has done a valve job with new ignition components, overhauled governor assembly, installed new rear axles,hubs,and brakes.I have purchased and installed complete set of rims and tires,fenders,and various tuneup items on engine plus front bumber and refurbished drawbar parts. I'm not ashamed to park the tractor in my shed alongside my restored 1951 8N. Both tractors are impressive now.
