Hello All; On my 8n, I have flushed out the radiator, replaced the hoses and installed a new thermstat in the upper hose. Prior to doing all mentioned activities, my 8n ran HOT. I should mention that there was NO termostat in the upper hose. Hopefully after the cleaning and flushing the radiator and eengine, having a thermostat inline, it will run cooler. My question is whether I should source and install a FAN SHROUD for the 8n? I have seen many an 8n without a fan shroud, but am willing to get one and install it brfore putting the hood back on the tractor, if it will help keep it at normal operating temp. One other question, if I may, has anyone installed a temperature guage on an 8n? I wonder where to moount the gauge and install the sensor? One final question, what is normal operating temp of the 8n? The new thermostat is a 160 degree unit, so is it that range? Any thoughts on use of a fan shroud and mounting a temperature gauge and sensor on an 8n are greatly appreciated. 'Thanks, Skip

One of the great things about working on a tractor engine with your other half is that you know what he is thinking of at all times and can anticipate his every move and his next thought of what he will do. With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I�m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I�ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I�ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see.
