Tractor tires are a little more difficult to mount. The side walls are stiffer and they are heavier. Most people prefer to mount them with the rims on the tractor. Lets you use the weight of the tire to help. If they have calcium chloride in them you just as well have a profesional tire truck do the work. As for the 8N they are nice little units. Lots of parts available. One item you probably unaware of is the Power Take Off (PTO). The PTO is the shaft out the back that powers any powered attachment. I know someone will weigh in on this one so it just as well be me. The 8N did NOT have live PTO. Live PTO means you have a way of stoping the forward motion with out cutting the power to the attachment. This becomes important if you have a lot of things to mow around like trees. You need to go to a number series Ford to get live PTO. Not all of those had it but some did. Someone else will have to give the numbers that have it. It is a dual stage clutch meaning you push down part way and forward motion stops, push the rest of the way and all stops. You are used to live PTO on you lawn tractor and will be going without on a 8N. Some will say that a overrunning clutch is just as good. In my opinion they help but are no substitute. JMHO jt
