SALUTE

[Pattyboy]

Guys after a successful compete engine, hydraulic and 12 volt conversion on this 1948 Ford 8N i sit here very proud of myself. Starting this overhaul in September of 2020 I could not even tell you what a cam or crankshaft was let alone what it looked like!!! But I and many others could not have achieved many tasks without the help of everyone here. From newbies to asking every question under the sun and old timers just needing a little push in the right direction. I want to say thank you to you all for being patient and willing to share the knowledge. Thank you as well to YesterdaysTractors.com for letting us all come together here so we can keep the love of these old beauties alive for the next generation. The world would be a better place if everyone cared, even a little, like all you gentleman. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Pattyboy321 of Oklahoma.

Congrats on your project! Looks like there are still things to do (seat & lights). Interesting choice on the wide whites up front. Just have to find a place to hang the fuzzy dice : ). Glad you learned a bunch and now know more about what hides under the paint on these beauties. Get yourself a carry-all for the back & build a 3 sided box for it, a draw bar, and grader blade and you'll spend a lot of time playing around !

Nice work. You should be proud of the accomplishment and also keep in mind that the guys on this site are equally proud of you. I know I am.

Nice job. I know you had a lot of fun doing and learning during that project. I'm thinking the seat is done by now. The photo from the front looks to be from an earlier time judging by the jack stand under the rear axle.
