If the wife was still alive she would be kicking me and looking for the shotgun to complete the job. Here I am in Oregon and just bought a basket case (Restored) 2N in Illinois with a bad engine. Everything on the tractor has been redone, includes a Sherman Step-up. So after I get this thing delivered, I have an 8N with an industrial engine in it that will find a new home. it seems it has just gotten done being finished will all new paint/sheet metal and turf tires and what got my attention is the belly mower under it. So now, do I swap everything over to the 8N? Or swap the 8N engine/4 speed trans over to the 2N? The 2N is suffering a 2nd blown head gasket and no comp in 2 cylinders. Why play with it? If it went south twice, I am not going to chase it a third time.
Moving all these parts around should not be to much of a problem. The Kubota MX5400 /Pallet forks will get used for the heavy lifting.
So, What would YOU do?
