I am So Jealous. But there is an old Ford That looks like an 8N here that dates back to WWII with a Back Hoe and Bucket for $500. Haven't got the mag to fire to see how she runs. Nor do I have the 5 bills. A friend has been playing with it as he is the one that finely tracked down the owner that now lives in the lower 48. I suppose I will go pull the Mag and bring it to the shop to overhaul. The friend wants to go in together to get it. He pays for it, I get and keep it running and we both use it. But I am trying to convince him that if we just sold it to a Collector that I know in Shelton for 5k plus our time and expense to ship it to him that we could get something that would work a lot better. This one needs to be restored and just taken to shows. The Collector said it may well be the oldest Ford 8N left.
