    Recently purchased a new 8N Proofmeter cable. I find a very small brass washer included with the new cable. Thrust washer? Which end of the cable does the brass washer go into?

    "M" quit

    That's also how they act when a coil goes bad. Would it start and run again after cooling for a half hour?

    Is there a source for those retainer clips as used with a sealed beam bulb that are shown in Tim Daley's photo? Tried making my own out of piano wire with little success. Thanks, Tom

    Corn head grease

    I've had cornhead grease in the steering box of a Ford 8N for the past 10 or 15 years. Works great in the prone to leak Ford steering gearboxes! Drilled and tapped the casting and installed a grease fitting. No mess, easy to top off any time.

    M Radiator Removal

    Does anyone have any advise on removing a 1950 M radiator? The joints at the bottom end of the side rails where they are soldered to the bottom tank have failed. Actually, it looks like the original soldering job was not that great. It appears that if the fan shroud is loosened and moved back...

    NAPA oil filter no. For a Farmall M
