This will be my second tear-down, cleaning, painting, etc and it's always exciting when you get close to completion. Colin, MN [Reply]  [No Email]

It's a 1950 and belonged to the family who farmed across from us. It's the only tractor they owned and has been in pieces since the 1990s. I purchased it last fall from the original owner's son. As a side note, the original owner's grandson was my best man in my wedding this summer. It'll be nice to restore a piece of local history. Colin [Reply]  [No Email]

Meant to say sure is neat to be restoring the 8-N from the next farm. I drove mine several time today in rain just because they are so much fun to operate. All of your work looks great by the way.

Don't forget to put a tblspn or so of oil in each cylinder before you start it. And do open the garage door! But I detect a problem......... That appears to be a car in the garage. Garages are for tractors! :) [Reply]  [No Email]

I completely agree with you about the garage. In fact, the 1940 9N is sitting under a pile of snow while the car gets royal treatment? Something is terribly wrong with that. Colin [Reply]  [No Email]
