Hi Folks; The 8n tractor is new to me, so I am not sure if it ran HOT, but possibly. I know in the recent past, there was not a thermostat in the system. As I understand, without a thermostat, the coolant does not stay in the engine long enough to help cool it or in the radiator to also allow air to cool the coolant. Will the position of the temp sensor show a skewed or correct reading based on location? For example, in the upper radiator hose (or) in the block drain plug area of the engine. If installed in the upper radiator hose, the sensor would be upstream from the thermostat. In the block drain plug, the sensor would be in the water jacket of the engine. Any thoughts of where to mount the gauge? Also, I have heard of early 8n tractors, front mount distributor, having a later 8n dash mounted in place of the early style (?) Yes or no? On that, if I were to mount a later 8n dash, will evertying fit the same and is it possible to retrofit a 'proofmeter' on an early 8n? Many questions, I appreciate your knowledgeable comments and suggestions. Thanks, Skip

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
