As I drove to church again this Sunday I passed this 12 acre spread for sale in town just 2-3 mins from my house. I kept peering back at the field (about 600 feet off of the road, I saw what appeared to be a N) - I have observed this "N" back there for quite sometime but I have never had the chance to look at it. Well, that day came today. As I drove up to the right side of the tractor, from the front, I saw what type of pitiful shape this rusted beast actually was. The 8N was serial number 219633. The sheetmetal was rusted out in some parts, (most parts) haha, 12V conversion with alternator, no battery, no sediment bowl (directly from tank to carb), no air pipe for carb, Ford Script hood. seat/spring rusted, Oil and Ammeter broken and cracked out, wiring was poor. front bumper was custom-iron, front tires were car/truck tires, rear tires were turf tires, rims were rusted out and missing 2 nuts. Overall, the tractor was in poor cosmetic and probable elecrical and engine shape. Could not ascertain any additional info. Was thinking of finding out if they want to "get rid of it" -
Should I spend my time looking to this or is reserved more for the "experts" or retirees???? Regards,
Andy
