This is the normal operation of a standard differential. The power will always transfer to the wheel with the least resistance. To compensate, tap or hold the brake of the spinning wheel to transfer power to the other wheel.

Your 8N may have a crude "limited slip" differential that explains why it behaves the way it does. IH didn"t have such a device back then, especially on its smaller tractors.

Now, you can add weight to improve traction, but BE CAREFUL here. If the implement you"re pulling is too much for the tractor, adding weight will only break the tractor when it grabs, but the implement still won"t go.
