Soundguy, you may already know of this site, but if not here is the best 8N site in the world. http://www.ytmag.com/nboard/wwwboard1.html
I have a 52 8N that I am reluctantly thinking of selling to buy a JM284. I'd really like to have live pto,hydraulics, power steering and diesel.
Good luck with your restoration.
