I dont know about that one it will probably be a close battle. I have a buddy that inherited his fathers 8n and he loves it. He use to come around bragging about that old 8n and would challenge my old M to a pull but always backed down. This went on for two years. Finally one day another buddy and myself were cutting wood on the farm across the road from his house, being sick of hearing about that 8n we devised a plan. In a creek bottom there was a small drainage ditch so I rutted it out a little with the M and placed it strategically as if were stuck, we then walked a half mile to his house to see if he would come pull that old M out. He agreed to try. We hooked a chain drawbar to drawbar and he tried to pull me as I held the brake he whipped around on the end of chain like a fish after a minute I eased the M into 2nd gear run up to a quarter throttle and eased out on the clutch. With great ease the M took the 8n backwards into the mud hole I had created. Needless to say he was quite upset about our trickery calling me every thing in the book. We are still friends but I have not heard a word about that 8n in years.

A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
