[QUOTE="John SD, post: 1335456, member: 14713"] Back in the day, our 8N was mostly used as an ATV before there were ATVs :P The side mount distributor is prone to getting wet. In calving season I would often leave a heat lamp on the distributor when I parked the tractor so she would fire off. Had a little box that mounted on the rear to haul a chilled calf to the barn. For haying, a 7' sickle bar mower is a good match for a N. As is a standard wheel or ground drive basket rake. Post hole digger is a good use for a N, although the hydraulics are a bit marginal. You might need a couple wood posts to use as a lever to give a little boost if you let the auger screw itself down too far and get stuck in the hole. If you burn wood, there are rear mounted buzz saws for N tractors. There are also 3 pt mounted cement mixers available. I still have one but the tractor is long gone. [/QUOTE]
