Question about 8n-9n

[JohnP]

Were there ever any 8N's with the distributor in the front. If not, I have something someone cobbled together.

of course there were.. the early 8n had a front mount dizzy just like the 9n/2n. swapped the genny to the other side and the oil fill tube was different.

Excellent, thank you. I thought I read someplace on here about all the differences and remember seeing the 8n went to a side mount and assumed it meant all 8N's. I will get the serial number then and see what i can find out. Thank soundguy...

By the way, if you happen to be an implement guy, take a look at my question in implement alley about ID of a plow. I was blind on that one.

I looked at the plow and don't know what brand it is but would a standard cross draw bar fit and clamp in with the bolts?

The 8Ns with the front distributor are the same engine as the 9N/2N. Generator and filler tubes on same sides and same position.

The generator and filler tube position changed with the side mounted distributor 8N.

that's what I just said. the genny and fill tube were different for the front mount vs the side mount.
