I'm new around here, so I apologize for any transgressions...
I stumbled on a Ford 8N for cheap and brought it home thinking I could get it running, and now I can't . I've done all the necessary checks to start a "ran when parked" machine and in the end it has pretty low compression.
I can get the engine to jump enough to disengage the starter, but it just won't take off. And because I don't have the time, resources, and proper facilities to do a rebuild, I'm going to send it down the road.
It has a Sherman Combo trans, with high-direct-low positions, an Everett Trencher trans, and a front blade kit from HydroBlade, which includes all the necessary lines from the hyd. pump in the transmission/rear end housing and proper lift valve w/remote ports.
I have a couple more little things I can try before I call the engine DEAD, but either way this project is going to be sold. I can part it out or sell as is.
Anybody want to take a stab at how much I should try to get out of this machine? Any help would be appreciated!

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
