I didn't take a close look since I'm not in the market for a tractor. The 8N Fords are
still really popular in my area of Nebraska.
4 or 5 8N s at this sale - one had dual wheels !

I'm certainly not in the market for a tractor either
but enjoy browsing through a collection like this.

Dad had a 1948 8N. It had a high and low range for the transmission and one way hydraulics.
The one thing that was a pain in the butt was the distributor in the front of the engine. I'm not sure
anymore if it had a crank start as a backup to the regular starter.
He had a front end loader, a three point mount scoop, a 3 point blade, a cultivator, a lister, a regular planter, a 3 pt. home made crane, a sickle mower, and a post hole digger for it. Most of that stuff was Dearborn brand. The post hole digger
was a really oddball thing. I couldn't find another one on the internet.
He had a set of narrow tires for the times he listed his corn rather instead of using the regular planter. The planter might've been adapted from horse drawn.
My brother and I kept the blade when we traded the tractor.
