Whenever I see your 8N, I automatically think of GALLO VINEYARDS in Modesto California. I came from around there, and the Gallo bunch is real big in wine production. To get their grapes picked they use largely no-speakee illegal Mexican labor. Many of the workers have never been on or operated anything mechanical. The (removed) tractors are SO SIMPLE that the Mexicans can figure out how to drive them......kind of....in a short time. You haven't lived until you see a string of 30 Ford 8Ns in a convoy, each pulling a grape gondola, and each piloted by a wide-eyed fugitive from south of the border. When one guy stops, they alternately bump into each other as the stop wave goes all the way to the back of the column. Gallo has a shop that is set up to "re-do" these tractors, and they get parts from many different suppliers to rebuild the engines. They don't bother with coz-metics very much, needless to say. There is like a standing order out there that if you have an early (removed) or fergie, you can usually sell it to Gallo. They have some vines planted on hilly ground in N. CA where they grow varietals and the ground is so steep that only a cat will work it, so they have settled on the obsolete Cat D-2 and they have a whole slew of those as well.
