Have you seen the retro 8N New Holland? It has the colors and style of the old 8n from the 40's. I second you should buy it!

Any of you ct chapter members know the answer to this?Does anyone know if my 1990 needs to emissions tested. I emailed them to ask that and they sent me a link too the page. I'm sick of these idiots i read the page already and it didn't answer my question. It says nothing about testing over 8500gvwr diesels older than 1997 but doesn't say they are exempt either.

This thing when designed had horrible emissions, it ain't getting any better now.

As I Know Tanner they did not start with emissions on diesel's till 1996. So I would think you are exempt.

Evening guys.
Another great day out today.

Sorry, you ain't getting out of this one

CT Emissions Program - What Should I Know About the Test - Tests for Diesel-Powered Vehicles

Diesel vehicles under 8,501 lbs. and 1996 and older will receive a dynamometer test if they operate in two-wheel drive and are non-traction controlled. A modified test will be used if the vehicle is four-wheel drive and has non-disengageable traction control.

These diesel tests use an opacity meter to measure the density of smoke from a vehicle's tailpipe. The darker the smoke, the more it is polluting and the higher its opacity reading will be.
