Hi Bob,
I agree completely with the idea of getting the Prince pump!
If you want to try one before buying, I have one that I replaced because it leaks a little around the seals. And yes, be sure to get the 23GPM version! As for tank size, I would suggest trying it with your present set-up, and if the oil gets too hot, then upsize your tank. I can give you the dimensions of the tank on our splitter. Your 8N should have no problem running that pump, as we've run ours with a 22 HP 'Bota. Now for the valve, yours should work fine except for having to hold it on retract! You can get a valve designed for a splitter, prolly from Northern Tool or Harbor Freight, that has no detent for extend, but a detent for retract.
HTH, Dave

Dad bought the 202 new in 1962, and I recall quite clearly going to the dealer with him to sign for it.
