..... and bought an 8n at an auction. Not even sure what year model it is. This is my first tractor purchase! Wish me luck. I have a feeling you'll be hearing a lot from me.

Thanks,
N8NO

Novice- glad you were able to make the purchase, makes a body feel good to get something you've wanted. Which state was the auction in ? There's a lot of knowledge/experience floating around on this board, so don't be timid about asking questions. Always, there is someone willing to respond.

Hey Andy,
The wife wants to see a picture of your tractor. I told her it was a beauty. Could you email us one?

Thanks,

Novice, as they have suggested ID the machine, it will help you use this board. The year, configuration, etc is always the first question the good help here will ask! Go to the Smith site below, it has excellent info on IDing a N series tractor. Be sure to remember you may have a hybrid of several different tractors.
Mine is a 1950 8N transmission, rear end, steering, and other main components (so was orginally this) however I have a 9N engine and 9N hydraulic components. A HYBRID, but its a great machine!!!

Good luck and have FUN, Jim
