    1951 8n Battery Question

    I am with you. I keep seeing these pictures and all I keep thinking is that looks too close to me. My tractor has been in my family for a minimum of 40 years and I never remember seeing a cover like this. Mine has a square ring that holds the perimeter of the battery and uses the standard...

    1951 8n Battery Question

    I am trying to finish restoring my dads 8n and have a question. When I disassembled the tractor it had a square bracket that held the battery in place.

    51 A, all the major work is done

    I really appreciate all of the feedback, even from the police. I did not mean to start a holy war. The reason I did it the way I did was I like it and did the best given my knowledge (first restore) I tried to learn from this site and others but did not always know where to find some answers...

    51 Model A steering binding

    I have a recently restored 51 model a and when I re-inserted the steering wheel shaft it acts like it is locking up or really binding. I cannot turn the wheel when it is sitting still. Any ideas?
