    Ford British Diesel

    I read several months ago that Ford was marketing one of their smaller vehicles with a British made fourth generation diesel engine that was getting 65 MPG.

    8N Hood

    I have a 1948 8N. The hood on this tractor does not have the raised Ford lettering on it. Could this be the correct hood, or did all of the 8N's have the raised Ford on them. What about the fenders?

A 5 foot would cover the wheel tread on my 850. I have the plow set to about 4 inches which breaks the...

    Thank you for the reply--This all started when a friend of mine next door rototilled a garden spot for my Wife and Me. I dug up the area with my old 320 case backhoe and he used his small Kubota tractor ( I think its a 1610) with a 40 inch Kubota rototiller. I decided that I would like a...
