The tractor is a low hour 1949, The engine is from a '49 truck. The nose may look like a stock 8N, but it has been widened slightly to accommodate a Ford truck radiator. The nose also has a slant to it. The exhaust manifolds are from an industrial engine and modified. We made a foot throttle, much better than a purchased one. Put er in 4th gear, step on it and hang on! I'll have to find another pic that shows her finished.

My goal was to create a V8 in what may have been Henry's vision, as it looks very factory.
