Hi all,

Guess what followed my dad and me back to my dad's house today. His "new" 8N! It doesn't look like much right now but it has lots of potential and was really cheap for a running, driving, working 8N with good 19 inch front rims and good 28 inch rear "hat" rims. My dad wants to clean this one up, repaint it, and then resell it. The sheet metal actually looks better than the pieces on the last 8N we did and that one turned out pretty good.

Looks like a leaky radiator. I wish I had an 8n.
Doc,
Actually, the previous owner changed the water pump (with a known good one but not new) and did not replace the gasket so it is leaking. We already have a new gasket for it we just need to replace it. It looks to be a fairly easy job to make this tractor look good.
