    8N stops suddenly

    I have a 1948 8N, 12 volt front distributer. It ran ok, but as I have just recently purchased it I did a few tune-up things to it and now it runs, but only for 5 to 15 minutes and then stops.

    aux. transmission

    Fluid types

    I have recently purchased an 8N (1948, 12V with front distributer). Since I am new to this I was wondering what kind of oil and hydraulic fluid to use. I live near Buffalo, NY so it can get pretty cold and I definitly plan on using it to plow out the driveway. Thanks for any advice!
