[AT] 1948 Ford 2,8,9N

[Henry Miller]

Worst case is the parts are worth that much. Fords are popular with collectors now, but Ford made more than enough 8Ns to go around to all collectors who want one so prices are never going to be high. 

They are good tractors and generally easy to work on. Probably it is a great deal, but until it is running you should pay as if you were going to part it out

Guy got it from a neighbor a couple of years ago, he's tinkered with it a bit but can't get it to run, but the neighbor was mowing with it a couple years ago. Guy admitted he's not a mechanic but did tinker with it a bit. What would be the worst case scenario? Here's a pic I don't think I included in my first 3.
