Keep the 8n, you will miss it when it is gone. I sold my 49 8n after I bought a 4200 JD, and I wish I had the 8n back. It was like a part of the family. Kept it for almost 30 years.

Are the valves adjustable? If they are with the age of this engine they may have the tendacy to be partially open when the engine is hot and everything has expanded. Valves have the tendacy to seat further into the head and reduce cam or rocker arm clearance.

Finally got to see the new JD4310 yesterday at the Durham,NC dealer. They seem to be about the same except for the added bells and whistles, like push button 4 wheel drive and the power reverser on the synque shift. I ask the dealer to price me a 4210 with synque shift and front loader with 4wd and fold down rops and he gave me a price of $16,500. I stay away from the hydros and power reverser, just something else to worry about going bad. The 3 year old 4200 I have with collar shift and 4wd with 420 loader has not given me any trouble other than a leaking loader cyl.

Where are all you Chevy guys, they are also good for pulling trailers. I have a 99 Silverado Z71 4x4 extended cab that I use to pull a 14 foot dual axel trailer with my jd4200 usually with the fel and blade or 5 foot finishing mower and it does not have any problems pulling it. The 5.3 engine is a very good performing engine.

You are right about the old ford n series. I used my old 49 8n to plow ditches and it was at a pretty good angle and still didn't roll over. I would be afraid to use my jd4200 with industrial tires like that. The center of gravity is higher.

I have a 4200 gear with a 420 fel and 4wd and the only problem I have had with it is the front mounted battery.It went dead and I had to go to john deere to get a replacement that would fit. The new battery came with the vented cap and hose to drain under the tractor. I also have the right hand bucket cylinder leaking some.

I went to look at the Nortrac at Northern and did not like what I saw. All the castings were rough looking and also the rims. The one I looked at did not have the auto bleed system for the injectors. Even the dealer said they have had some problems with them poping out of gear. Iwent with the JD4200 sst with fel and am happy with it.

reply to John on the loader dropping when in the locked position. I am sure this is the same as the 420 loader on my 4200, according to the owners manuel this is built in to allow the loader to drop slowly when not being used. I will reread my manual and send another note.
