Nice photos, I've worked on several 8n's, replaced several gas tanks due to rust. Good luck.

When I first saw the the conversion mounts I was sure somebody was full of s###, after some research I found that I was wrong.
We are getting it running for a guy that is going to restore it.
The head gasket had been replaced before I got involved in the project, at this point I am waiting for a carburetor rebuild kit, so I decided to take a few images.

I had one of these Fords with the straight 6 back in the 60's. In high gear it would "move" down the road. I granny it would walk up a "steep" hill. I hope you get to try it out when finished.

I learned to drive on a somewhat older and original version of the 8n. You could pull stumps in low and really race along at, maybe, 8mph in 4th. I loved the dual brakes for no-hands steering.

I doubt I will try it out since my job is just to get it running .

That would have been a 9n or 2n, which I have owned and use two.
