You know, I've never weighed an 8N and I have heard that factory weight was around 2400 lbs, But I've never seen 1 get into a 2700 lb weight class in antique tractor pulls without removing lots of parts. I would bet that most run of the mill N's will be over 3000, and the loader that went on most N's probably had 300 lbs of rust and dirt caked grease. These old tractors weigh more than most folks think they do. I heard some one say a Cub Farmall weighs 1300 lbs according to some chart they saw, maybe so, but again I expect that if you weigh the next 100 Cubs you see, I'll bet that the average will be close to 2000.
Has anyone weighed their tractor to see how they compare to what some brochure says? I'd be interested to hear, Later, Nat
