Well, I've been fortunate with my 8N to be able to use it for about 10 years with no real trouble or maintenance. I used it yesterday to pick up some old riding lawnmowers to load on a truck for the junk man, and I had trouble a couple of times getting the boom to pick them up as high as it has been used in the past. So, I guess I need to get all the wrecked vehicles done, and back to the owners, and everyone's Harley finished and back home, so I can have room and time to work on the N. About the only problems I've had, is with the points being open, and getting some oxidation on them, and trash in the tank, stopping up the filter. I did have some rust in the carb that caused it to run for a few minutes, and die. Oil and filter changes, plugs once, and a few gallons of gas. It's done REAL good, but now it's time to show "her" a little mercy, and give a great makeover. Hope the wife doesn't get jealous.....
