harold russi	Just got this 1951 8N for $2500 and it was restored (so I was told) two years ago. I came with a 5' brush hog and ran great till the balast resistor opened. I bypassed that to finish what I was doing and polished the points with my fingernail file and cut grass for another hour. I don't like the wiring done as part of the restore and the headlight don't have a switch nore are there any tail lights present. But I think I still got a good deal. Glad to of found this forum...
Bob G	Welcome aboard! Nice looking machine. If it has a resistor it must be converted to 12 volts. Don't run it too long with the resistor bypass or you will burn out the coil. Enjoy your machine!! Bob
Larry	Nice looking tractor. Get a manual and rewire it. Not a big job. I did mine and it made a vast improvement. Make sure all over your connections are clean and tight. Mine is still 6 volt.
Jim Loveridge	Welcome to the forum. Good looking tractor. Don't be afraid to stop by and help the rest of out on here.
harold russi	Got the FO-4 shop manual and will collect the parts needed and travel back down to the tractor and perform those repairs. I live in Nebraska but own land in Texas that needs to be kept cut so the tractor will stay there.
