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!
