I love watching these old tractors work, especially right now with it raining so much and I can't use mine

Awesome, would love to have one of those tractors

Nothing like a tracktor to make country life easier love cutting tall grass with my Ford NAA 1953or1954

Mix in some Marvels per the instructions on the jug for the next 6 months of gas fill ups. If it isn't worn out rings, your rings will become compliant again, reseal and your smoke will go away (and your tractor will be happy).

A lot of people have converted the 6 volt system over to 12 volt. I recommend keeping 6 volt system as long as possible. If you have generator problems, take it to a competent auto electric repair shop and have it repaired. I have a ‘51 project 8N that was converted to 12 with home made alternator bracket that caused the lower alternator bracket to pinch the lower radiator hose nearly shut and it had a belt that was way to small. I replaced with new alternator and universal brackets, had to find a belt that would fit(42X5/8), and a volt meter instead of an ammeter. All this cost about $200 and was a pain to get the belt aligned(Chinese made stuff is never right). I have a 1949 8N that has been our family since 1966, I completely rebuilt the engine last year an have kept the electrical 6 volts and it runs like a top. I you have your fuel and ignition system maintained right and the starter is good, even though 6 volt turns over slow, the engine should fire right up. I see you also have the dreaded leaky axle seal problem which is common on most pre 1950 8Ns. That’s probably why your brakes don’t work. They have been converted from dry brakes to wet oil soaked brakes. That’s the next restoration phase on my ‘49. Make sure the left hood to dogleg join is kept clean, this is a common rust out area. I think the radiator overflow tube is on the left side and over the years excess coolant causes this area to rust from spray.

Your oil pressure problem is related to the tractor over heating this is why I install a mechanical temperature gauge on all my 8Ns. When the tractor runs hot the oil will be as thin as water. I run 40 weight oil in summer and winter but if I start it in winter I put a magnetic heater on the oil pan and then plug in the lower radiator hose heater. You might want to check your upper radiator hose that is where your thermostat is if indeed you have one it might not be opening all the way. When I install a temperature gauge I find a piece of copper that is the same or slightly larger than the radiator hose and then I drill a hole in it and I solder in a brass fitting that the temperature gauge will screw into and then I make sure that the temperature sending unit is below the thermostat so you get a reading from the head . Also make sure your radiator is clean and not plugged up in any way and of course top up your coolant as necessary. Don’t shut off your tractor until it cools off it musant boil when you shut her down you don’t want your head to warp , sometimes I park it in the shade and let it idle. Keep that old iron running!👍

Perfect 😍🫂

Just put a little vasoline on the gasket it will seal the bowl

They look like a pretty good tractor I know I have a Ford 3000 diesel tractor I like mine

I know when I brush hog a field with my 8N I have to keep the radiator clear of chaff or it will overheat. A cork gasket definitely works best on the fuel bowl. I fill the bowl with gas before I tighten it that way it doesn't take long to fill. Only thing I don't like about the 8N's is having to run the PTO to raise the 3-point hitch.

I never had much luck with o-rings on those. Cork gasket, pre-soaked in gas was the ticket. As for brakes? They only slow you down.... ;-)

Porque no encuentro comentarios en español tengo uno uno se como primcipiarlo

Run a 92 octane gas in that engine. Clean up the oil ports. Help out on performance on the tractor.

Shouldn’t you have a filter in that gas bowl

To big a bush hog for that tractor!!! It strains the lift and the motor!! You need a 4 ft bush hog!!!!
