Tom,
That is VERY nice!
Maybe you will get me going on my tractor project too.
Regards,
Chris and Cheryl

Last summer a friend bought an 8n that had a 302 with a Sherman step up transmission. Well done conversion, not all hacked up. Would spin both tires on tar taking off in 4th gear. Steering was nice and tight so it drove straight, but way too fast. He sold it before "I get into trouble!!"
