Blame it on the yuppie farmers, who like an old 8N or 9N
for puttering around the farm. I've just about out-grown my 8N.
It's not heavy enough for snowplowing, overheats when I need
to do lots of mowing in the late summer, and doesn't have
enough hydraulics for a nice lift-bucket.
Eghads, tractor discussions... You did replace the oil and scrape out the
gunk from the air filter (actually its just a can with oil that the air
sort of bubbles through if i recall correctly). And had someone blow out
the radiator if it looks partially clogged? A 8N overheating, that just
doesnt happen. I remember plowing 20 acres full of weeds, and the old
8N started overheating after several days. Thats when I learned about
that oil filter, never saw so much oily pollen gunk...
