a pic of my 52 8N

That is a nice 8N!!! One of our neighbors had one exactly like yours, and when I was a kid he paid me five bucks to install a cigarette lighter on it. Those were a very handy tractor with the three-point hitch and all. We ran all John Deere two-cylinders at the time and of course they would pull the 8N sideways, but it was a good tractor for zipping around and maybe raking hay. TELL ME that you don't have a chrome intake pipe on that tractor! That's as bad as my "Full Race Case" that I had in the sixties. It was a 1947 Case VAI with a big chrome exhaust stack. I have a John Deere Model A now; one of the last ones built in 1952. It's a MODERN tractor compared to the JDs I grew up on. This one is electric start and has HYDRAULICS! Good job! Thanks for showing us your "Henry". Dave

<font color=black>Well /w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif yeah... it is a chrome intake tube... I couldn't resist it. I thought about painting it red.. but decided against it.

Heh heh......I like a little chrome on a tractor. I've already decided that our JD A will get some chrome lamps. I'll save the stock ones of course. Luckily, our "A" was converted to 12V so that means that the LIGHTS will actually work well enough to see something..........Dave

As promised, here is #1 of 4 of some more pics of the 52' 8N.

Keep in mind, this was a 'working' restoration. Not a full redo.
