We ran 158 acre farm w/ 40 cows with the 8N my grandpa bought new in '52, that my Dad bought when he got out of the Army in the late 50's. Plowing, planting, mowing, raking, baling, corn picking and combining. We cheated with the combine for many years, it was a Massey Clipper 50 with a Wisconsin motor. We ran the AC 60 with it, but had trouble with ground speeds and the non-live PTO. The next year, (I turned 18), Dad bought a Massey 175 and a 3 bottom F145 16" John Deere plow. The 8N retired to planting and towing duties after that. I have the tractor, it is my only "non-AC" one. As far as I am concerned, it is priceless.

Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment.
From listening comes wisdom and from speaking comes repentance.
Wise men learn more from fools than fools from the wise.

Picked it up today. Here are some pics. After a closer look, it is the Sherman hi/lo tranny. Very little wear on the pedals, implements look complete and straight, extra sickle for the mower, mud chains for the rear tires, stabilizer bars and drawbar were there too. Sheetmetal is near perfect....just missing the oil cup for the air cleaner. Here are some pics.
Anyone know what this wheel might be from? Looks like Ford grey paint on it...

Success! Fired up the 8n for the first time today after tinkering with it for the past week. I had to rebuild the distributor, new points, plugs, cleaned the carb, cleaned gas tank and sediment bowl, add coolant....pulled it less than ten feet and it fired up. Runs nice and quiet, no leaks, squeaks or knocks...Sherman tranny was fun to play with, took about 1000 feet to get it up to speed in 12th gear. Back tires are flat-spotted so that was an experience! Governor sure doesn't have the snap of an AC though. Just a few little problems to fix and it should be able to go to work or hit the auction block....
