Our family has a 1950 8n with a frontmount distributor. We used to use it to mow our pecan grove until it quit starting this year. We have needed to replace the ring gear on it for a long time but usually just turned it over a little bit and didn't split it. Now it really needs to be fixed, and waiting on permission to bring it home to the garage. We use my grandpa's 601 to mow currently. As some have stated earlier, the tractor will push you after you depress the clutch if you do not have the over-run coupler, which we don't happen to have. It is rather simple after a while to gauge distances where you need to clutch in order to prevent wrecking, but it is still easier with the ORC on the 601.
