 ok guys, i certainly appreciate it. since i don't work in fabrication anymore and by the time i would have to get all the parts and work them i may as well just buy the setup. quick removal may be necassary for plowing/cultivating/discing then back to pulling the wood trailer. and i called the local fleet farm to see if they had those tire chains they talked about in march. well the $125 price they quoted me at the time turns out to be EACH. local county won't sell used tire chains to private owners due to liability reasons, but they used to. dell, btw, i haven't posted in a year i guess but that 49 8n that i had the motor rebuilt in, well, that sucker is sure running nice. never adjusted the lifters but no clicking either. i think i may go to 15w40 oil for summer use. i won't say "synthetic" to you unless you heard otherwise from the last time we talked. but i am still thinking about it and it should be nice and broke in now. here is a photo of the town farm heritage days from last summer. notice the tractor isn't a mosquito duster anymore? that's me and my youngest daughter in the parade. all the bigshots have the fancy tractors you know. i only get what i need and i am very happy to be a ford 8n owner. best to all.
