8Ns were way ahead of their time in the 40's-50's but that was 70 years ago. There are a lot of fond memories on the 8N as I grew up. It was by far the easiest tractor to drive when i was little. But the technology has changed a lot since the Ns were designed and built. You will be much happier with live power on the PTO and 3 point for mowing. Can it be done? Yes and I have mowed with a 5 foot finish mower and 7 foot Deerborn mounted sickle mower. Would I go back? Not other than to show how it was done. Would I put a loader on a 8N? Not any more. Would I sell my 8N? No. My Grandson will get Grandpa's tractor soon.
Not sure of your budget but you might consider a 20 year old utility tractor. They are front wheel assist, live PTO, 3 Point and hydraulics, power steering, front end is designed for a loader, more comfortable cockpit, cab options are available, I personally have a Hydro JD 4700 with a JD 460 loader and dozer blade on the front. I use a 7 foot finish mower on the back. The Hydro makes it so handy for both the loader and mowing operations to change direction of travel. Along with infinite speeds up to about 15 MPH.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
