I am not posting this to throw a wrench in jm.s world. This is just information and an opinion of a person who I feel knows a lot about things and works real world repairing stuff. Yes, he is on YouTube but I have experience in mechanical repair the first 20 years of my career life and I can tell you this guy is above average. Skip ahead to the 2.50 minute mark, there until the 15 minute mark he is going on about his dislike for reman engines and the reasons why. I think if you watch that part it will show you that he has some definite knowledge and he has a worthy opinion. At 15 min to the end is where the most details are given that may apply to your question above. Now I will say that he is a little more vocal and ..wound up.. in this video compared to his normal demeanor. I will warn you there is some minor profanity in it 4 or 5 places if that kind of thing bothers you. Another thing that struck me he pointed out during disassembly of the tractor with the engine problem is due to design the difficulty he had removing the shaft that drives the front axle. Which he needed to do to open the bottom of the engine to diagnose the gear drive train problem. ..who would design an engine with the cam inj. pump drive gears on the back of the engine in a tractor??.. On that tractor you have to basically unbolt and pull the front axle forward to pull it out. My understanding on a similar sized Deere it pulls out basically like a rear drive pickup drive shaft. I understand none of this may apply to the model you may be looking at. Also chances are with good maintenance many of these items may never give you trouble. I always revert to the fact that anything man made can and will break. Hope this helps one way or another. Only opinions based off some experience.

Today's Featured Article - The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
