cjet69: Congrats on your "new" Fergie. They are indeed good tractors, had several features better than 8N's. One weakness to watch for is coolant in the oil pan. Some of the Continental engines had a casting problem. They would leak coolant in the center of the block between the cylinders on the bottom. Some people would put staybolts thru the blocks between the cylinders. This is not a rumor, but a personal observation of mine while working in a garage. Not a lot of them were so afflicted, but some of the early ones did so. Lots of time, leakage could be controlled with good stop-leak. An easy way to check for this, is to let it set for a couple of weeks and then crack the oil pan drain plug a turn or so. If the block is leaking, the first thing you will see is a little water. Good luck.
