On a lighter note, I finished the rebuild on my 1952 Ford 8N and hooked up the 5' finishing mower to test it out. It now has much more power/oil pressure and runs the mower without a hickup! I am very pleased to have it back in action just for that purpose. Less changing of implements with the Kubota makes me very happy. The N tractors don't have a great deal of HP like the newer tractors do, so every HP counts. I bet it had lost at least 10 HP or so over the last 35 years of use. It got to where it could not pull the mower or bush hog without choking down and having to "slip" the clutch to keep it going in 4-6" stuff. And forget it if it had to pull on a slight slope up hill...just about had to stop and let it catch up a little and then continue. Slow going for sure. Now it just buzzes right through all of that. :thumbsup: I finished cutting one field later this morning...before it got too hot for me.
