Thanks!

Hey everyone!

Thanks for all the help over the years with my 8N. I learned a lot about maintenance of tractors. Most importantly, I learned the value of patience and that most problems are a SIMPLE fix. You don't have a bad coil, you have a loose connection. You don't have a shot engine, you have a gummed up oil-bath air cleaner.

Anyways, I've ordered a brand new Massey Ferguson 1526 with a loader and 66" blower. That's getting delivered in a few weeks, so I'm selling my 1948 8N in Minnesota. Maybe you want to buy it, but maybe you're just interested to see what a Yesterday's Tractors newbie has done to his machine over the years.

Thanks all! It's been a fun ride!

That's a nice snow pusher you have on the back. How much of that ice/snow mix did you get over the weekend? It was pretty nasty stuff up here in Long Prairie. It was so heavy that the 8N could barely handle it - but it did with time and patience. Blower on the big tractor wouldn't even throw it.

Too much! It moved it but like you said, it takes some time!
