Description
It is difficult to believe that the N-News has been in existence for 20 years. It has never missed a deadline, four times a year. Nothing has ever been repeated, though we often re-visit ideas, with updates.
My uncle, Gerard, started the publication out of his need and curiosity. He had an 8N but when he visited the dealer, no one really could answer his questions and often, parts were not in stock. Technical advice was unheard of.
The Ford tractor dealership that he had dealt with for years was showing less and less interest in (what was then) a 25-year-old tractor. The throw-away mentality of the 1980s was underway. Why bother trying to keep that old thing running when you can get a nice new blue tractor? Back then his 8N was only worth maybe $800-$1200! I am sure the dealership tried to get him to trade it for something newer.
