I have two tractors, a 1948 8N and a 1952 8N. My 48 is a female, as I have spent over $5k fixing her up since I got her, and it is never enough - there is ALWAYS one more problem that pops up and needs to be fixed! She is never satisfied. My 52 model is a male, had so many rigged up fixes on it, had an exhaust valve that wasn't even close to seating, coal black oil, water in the tranny fluid, and generally beat up when I got it. It always fired right up and worked hard until done, without complaint. Of course he is better now that I have had him awhile, fixed the exhaust valve, changed the oil and hydraulic fluid, cleaned him up and gave him a paint job (spray paint...), replaced the bowed radius arms, replaced the welded upper hydraulic arm. Works even better than when I got him, but doesn't look anywhere as nice as my 48. Good luck,
Dan
