1950, 51 or 52 8N Sheet Metal To 1976 Long 350

Seeing it in person right off I noticed how small this tractor is. Only thing I didn't measure was the radiator, all else seems to fit under the hood of an N Series. A late 8N Proof Meter dash would house the 350 gauges, lights and tach. A large tank could be found off of something else to tuck under the top of the N hood. A custom piece of tin around the steering column should seal the deal. How many ugly cyclops or square tractors have been given the dignity of N Series sheet metal?

I've always thought the Ns were handsome little tractors. Are you thinking about this as a project?
You'd need to make some compromises.
Those compromises are just details of course.
But the differences between a pretty girl and a not so pretty girl are also just details...

Bought it for the loader. Realistically I am likely to get it running and sell it. Too many other "good ideas" taking up space in the shop. I got a pretty good idea with a tape measure and the 48 8N. The 8N grille would need to come off or be made to swing open for battery access.

EDIT: If radiator height allows I have a copper filler cap extension from a motor home that looked about right to put the cap back in the 8N location.
