Awesome. We have an old 8N with original 4cyl. Reworked and bored out. All around a good tractor. Love to get a flathead V8 engine out of a dump truck from the 50's. Been looking everywhere.

ryaneldredpa They're all over the place! Hop on Facebook and follow the 1957-60 group or crown Vic swap group. Until I decided to do this with my second N, I wouldn't have known what to do with that low mileage engine. I have access to a beautiful 1959 grain truck with a 292 for just 1500$. It's so nice, you won't want to part it out lol.

That's great! Even though those old engines didn't advertise much horsepower, I'm sure it makes way more than enough torque. The WW2 era 2.5 ton 6x6 wheel drive military trucks produced only a listed 91.5hp. But obviously horsepower isn't the important factor with large trucks and tractors.

What a phenominal piece of kit! Really superb, looks and sounds the part BUT why do I always feel that a tractor would get better "traction" if the back tyres were mounted around the other way so that they dig in rather than slide over the soil especially with a heavy plow or other equipment or even tree pulling? More of this please!
@PHIL5251
2 жыл бұрын
You would think that might be the case except for it would do the exact opposite of what you are thinking when the tires are facing the correct way they pull loose material away from the tires to get down to traction when you turn them around the other way it keeps the loose material and brings it to the center of the tire tire .

Everything in the driveline of the N series tractors was built with massive overkill. I’ve only ever seen one fail due to water entering the shifter boot causing rust and freeze damage. I doubt you could hurt it even with a flathead V8.

The rear duals are to reduce the soil compaction. Lets the crop grow better in the tractor's tire tracks. As well as giving the tractor a better chance of not sinking in soft, or muddy ground.
