Shot of the plow. Looks old, don't know if it is the same age of the tractor or not. I assume not.

back shot. You can see part of the plow frame in the back.

Re: My \"new\" 8n

So what do you think? She needs a little work. It fires right up on the first turn, but smokes a bit when cold. Seems to clear up, and sounds good. First thig I got planed is a oil change, and tune up, and I want to get rid of those front tires, and get some three rib ones on there. Other than that, just get a brushcutter, and put her to work. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Thanks, Rich. I dont know if I would go as far to say excellent though. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif. But it does look as though anything that needs doing, I can do, so thats a start.

Re: My \"new\" 8n

Well, looks like the tractor is getting dropped off today, so looks like I will be getting some tractor time in tonight. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif.

I dont have any manuels with it, any tips from you Ford guys? Mostly I plan to check everything out in the middle of my feild, so nothing is around. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Any thing to watch out for? I figure I will get used to the tractor, and learn all its in's, and out's before I hook up a brushcutter.
