yea i just got a 8n with a sherman and loader in my shop i bought and was going to fix up until i found out some body had whelded the block on the corner of the block where the back of the exhaust manifold around the head bolt and it just pours water when put in but the block is not crack except where they whelded it i think they was just trying to build up the block where the manifold goes but they mested up alot more than that now so i have to get a block for it now cause it is a real straight tractor other than that

I can at least cut 1 of them free, and then adjust it like the other side.. one side is a lost cause. it's gonna be adjusted that way forever..

well, yesterday I got the spare rims primed and painted, and then left them to cure. I replaced ignition components, plugs, wires, etc.. must say that I don't like the new 8mm cables tsc is selling. they are still cut to fit.. but have a soft inner core, and are so soft that they are difficult to push thru the boots for the dizzy cap, even with som silicon lube it was a fight on each one.
filled the cooling system back up, did a dry test of the starter / solenoid, as well as polarizing the genny and installing the battery. had a gollon of gas in her and decided to throw the seat on and start her up as a test.. but then noticed a coolant drip
drained coolant and found I didn't get all of the rust chips off the water pump nozzle, and to top it all off managed to nick the hose removing it.. didn't fell like putting a damaged hose back on.. so that killed the rest of the evenings work..
running by cnh to get a new hose today.. hopefully will get that all installed and test fire her up this evening.
might get rims on firday morning/mid afternoon before work. if so.. then I'll likely get the fenders on as well..

hit CNH today and got some new rad hoses.. that got the coolant leak fixed. had saved the brand new collant in a paint and ran it back in thru a paint filter.
nex't I refit that 'kustom' outside the rail exhaust system it had.
replaced the lower pipe as well. still need to tighten it all down, but it's physically on.
dicided to fire her up or try to, and see how everything was doing.
I swear it started on about half a rev.. 12v genny on her from a diesel 01 ( thanks rickb). volt meter said about 13.5v at mid throttle so that looks promising.
oil pressure on 20w50 oil came up to 40psi at idle, and 55 at throttle. when i first got her oil pressure was a bit dismal.. barely made 25.. I normally run my stuff on 15w40 now but decided to try 20w50. will likely use this oil as a fulsh oil and drain and refill early next year after I cut some dry brush with her this winter.. and as long as I can get 25-35 psi on 15w40 I'll call it good.
got the spare rims and centers primed and paitned.. left them to cure yesterday and today.. so likely will fit them up on friday, and then get the fenders on.
havn't touched the lamp shells yet.. need to get working on those.. perhaps saturday?

had a couple hours between day and night job.. unloaded 16 bags of haus feed into the barn and then decided to finish the exhaust brace and hanger for the exhaust ststem. also finised adding the last 2 clamps it needed.. plus did a small hole repair on the exhaust pipe. tightened a few bolts on some brackets I missed.
looks like tomorrow is wheel/rim day, perhaps fenders too.
