Sorry, just saw this. I've been busy tinkering with my new off road vehicle. I bought an old Ford 8N tractor yesterday. Mike I've never seen one do that, but GM uses components that we don't use for fuel management.

48 was first year 8N. Mine was probably made within the last month of production bits serial number is 511xxx and Ford only made 550000 of these in the 4 year run.
There was also a 2N and 9N

Can't remember right off but I don't think there's much difference in the engines over the years. The side mound distributor is one of the biggest things to change.
If I remember correctly you could take a Ford GPW engine and put it in these tractors. It had about 4-6 more draw bar horsepower.
Does yours have any kind of auxiliary transmission?

Really ? Y'all know all about some damn old tractor but nothing about a truck What truck? We're we talking about a truck? I just rebuilt the governor on my 8N. It's running so much better now. Old pic: grass is greenish lol
