    dont think I can do it

    Don't sell. You'd have to repaint the house and outbuildings to match a another tractor, and yours is now perfect.

The cap...

    Check out this Craigslist ad

    Looks like it has been converted to 12 V and new exhaust too. In my area of Texas see plenty of C L ads for $2500. for N that looks like they spent the last 20 years sitting in the weed patch.

    Diesel oil

    Per my mechanics recommendation I am using it in a worn out Craftsman Lawn tractor with a shot of 90 wt. So, I think using it in my 8N would be next. Thanks for the tip.

    8N doesn't run under load

    Ref to my posting of same title on 03/22/17. Thanks to Royse, Bruce (Va) & others, the tractor is running great. Best it has in months. The timing light made the difference, all others help was good, but the "light" showed me the correct way. Thanks again.

    8N doesn't run under load

    Thanks all for your help. Yes I did check the elbow filter, when i was putting the distributor cap back on I realized it was moving. I do have a timeing light, but it will be a search to find it and a helpful suggestions. "Adjustable gap checker"? Don't know what that is. Do have a spark plug...

    8N , 1952 model, after 263xxx. Side Mount. The tractor is 150 miles away in the country so don't get to stay with it often. Problem, since Nov last will hardly run under in gear. Have had the carb rebuilt by professional. It seemed to be slow on the drain test. It would crank and idle, for...
