I just did a major tune-up on my "49" 8N w/ front mount distributor. It really doesn't take much time or effort to remove the hood and front end of the tractor. There are many advantages too. Taking it all apart allows you to accomplish maintenance that needs to be done from time to time on a 50+ year old machine. I can attest to the rewards because my klunky old tractor now is one hard pull'n monster that will spin the rears instead of stalling! (I can get so stuck now!) Most of the parts are quite cheap and the maintenance is easy to do. This spring I: 1. Replaced spark plugs and ignition wires.
2. Removed, cleaned, and lubed the distributor.
3. Replaced points, rotor, condensor, cap, and timed to spec. Timing is done with the distributor off the tractor. The distributor is keyed into the shaft so there is little danger of mis-timing if you mark where the rotor is.
4. Made new manifold gaskets and installed after polishing maiting serfaces.
5. Cleaned out and treated the fuel tank for rust.
6. Cleaned strainers on sed bole and carb inlet elbow. Replaced inline fuel filter (modification).
7. Replaced Carb. (last years rebuild didn't last).
8. Cleaned oil bath air filter and replaced oil.
9. Replaced all fluids and oil filter.
10. Flushed coolent system.
11. Cleaned out radiator flanges.
12. Replaced radiator mounting bolts.
13. Replaced fan belt.
14. Cleaned and inspected everything! Six bolts and my wife and I can lift the hood off. There are just two nuts on blind carrage bolts that hold the radiator on. It's all easy stuff once you have the clearance. It's like having a new tractor. It could barely limp out of the shed before I did all this. I harrow, plow, boxblade, and grade with mine. It works hard and needs good maintenance every year. Get that shop manual and get into it. These things were made to be maintained on the farm. Have fun and good luck. Lynn

The Engine Rebuild Kit - by Curtis Von Fange. I always liked engine rebuild kits. They have all the replacement parts for overhauling an engine without going to the store to get gaskets, special measuring tools, or miscellaneous parts. They come neatly packaged, clean and tidy. But it's important not to let that packaging lull you into a false sense of security. The appearance of matching sleeves, pistons, rings, and bearings can cause frustration and agony if not properly measured and installed in a workshop environment. Following c
