[AT] 8N Ford

[Ron Cook]

My Granddad had a 9n.  Probably bought new.  For nostalgic reasons when 
I started fooling with old tractors I bought a very nice original 2n.  I 
very quickly discovered why my Granddad had a Sherman in his.  I also 
discovered why my Dad always claimed his Dad would have lived alot 
longer had he never tried to farm with the Ford.  That tractor is only 
good with its own implements and then needs some help with the gearing 
in these parts.  Mine did have running boards and was the easiest 
tractor I have ever owned to get on and off of.  I sold it.  Don't need 
another.  But had I been able to afford having that little 2n around, it 
would still be here.  Just something about them.
