Be careful replacing the fluid with the newer fluids, unless you know the seals are in good shape. That newer type fluid is much thinner than the old GL1 that they were designed to run. I made that mistake once, and ended up oiling my clutch since the front seal was weak, and the new fluid was much thinner. Clutch almost immediately started sticking, until I changed back to the GL1 90 Wt oil, but I still ended up replacing my clutch and the front tranny seal. There is also a pressure relief valve known to fail in bottom of pump assembly. Fairly easy to replace by parking on an incline and removing the PTO. Post on the N forum for all the help on those as they helped me out a few times. The 8N I own is one my father purchased about 45 years ago, and I still use it for several chores. No live hydraulics, or PTO, but it is still my main go to tractor for hauling wood, blading the road, or little chores.
