It is an 8n, I had one for many years. It's a pain in the ass to start every spring and when your battery goes tits up make sure you remember it's a 6v system and don't throw a 12v battery laying around the barn into it (learned that one the expensive way)
Man that's unluck bro never had a hiccup with ours same battery for over 10 years. Dad's John deer now it's a machine but will eat a battery
Well my grandfather was a farmer, we just inherited it and it had all the attachments we needed for a 10 acre hobby farm... brush hog, lift, plow etc.
It was in awful condition but he wasn't asking for money for it lol. I eventually got it whipped into shape. Wish I had has somewhere to keep it but my cunt of a mother sold it without even asking me after I moved out of state.
It really was a cool little tractor.
thats fucked up once they are renewed they last another 75 years damn shame to rid your family of such good value.
I was working in an auto shop years ago and a farmer wanted to upgrade his old tractor (Farmall A or something) to 12 negative ground with an alternator. The alternator had an internal regulator so all we had to do was hook up one wire on the alternator to hot, swap the leads on the ammeter so charge was charge instead of discharge, and get some 12 volt lights. I was arguing with the boss, claiming that the starter would spin backwards because switched polarity, he said do it anyway, and it worked. I guess I was thinking of the little motors with permanent magnets reversing direction with a polarity switch, but apparently the stator fields in a starter reversed their field too, so it worked. I guess.
