Bob - thanks for the kind words. I grew up in the city and never even saw a tractor close up until age 38, and NEVER have seen the insides of any engine either. I obtained 42 acres, and needed a mowing machine. After getting sticker shock at the Kubotas, I decided used was the way for me. I kept getting more and more "used" until I found what I could afford - a Ford 8N. The rest is history. I wrote a short story posted on this site about what started my affliction with antique tractors - I will post a link below to it.

My NAA has just under $5k in it - including the tractor, parts, and machine work. Not real bad for a tractor with a fully rebuilt engine, transmission, hydraulics, steering box, and a boat load of new parts - so I pretty much broke even and had 9 months of enjoyment and on-the-job training to boot. It is on my property now pulling brush hogging duties.
