I recently attempted to pull a pole out of the ground and the front end of the 8n kept coming off the ground. I finally did get the pole out and pulled away but It seems like even when I am back blading the front is too light. Is there any way to place weights on the front for assistance? Also what do you think about the versatility between a box blade and a (new) back blade? Can a small tiller be placed on an 8n? Also does anyone have any idea where I can find a brush guard hopefully original?

There were / are weights that fit inside the front wheels and give added stability. By being in the wheels there is no additional weight on the wheel bearings. You could also fluid fill the front tires or add weights to the front bumper.

Front weight is needed in a lot of situations.
Good luck.

The N series is known for being light up front, and has a tendency to want to flip over backwards & kill the driver. Please be carefull when doing things like post pulling. Always hook up properly to the hitch only. And so on.

Back blades are much more versitle, while box blades are better at moving dirt from point a to point b. Depends what your use(s) are going to be.

Tillers require a slow forward speed. I think the N series moves pretty fast, even in low gear, to successfully use a tiller. Unless you have a Sherman tranny or the like, but these often slow the pto speed as well, defeating a tiller anyhow.

Many farm supply stores carry N brush guards, such as CT (Quality, or whatever name they go by now).

All this from a guy who never drove an N tractor, so take with a grain of salt & hope for good advise from others... ;)
