Easy fix for the side-link adjustment. Put a hydraulic top link and side link on the three-point system. I have that setup on my tractor and can adjust the top-link and side link from the driver's seat. You need the two hydraulic cylinders, two more valve bodies, a diverter solenoid on the valve block, a solenoid switch plus four more rear hydraulic service outlets (two for flow out / two for flow in). If you use the top link and side link for implement adjustments, it's an invaluable setup. I use the adjustments for box blade, rear blade, and grading plane.

I balled like a baby cause I could hear the wind blow and had been fixed in a bad spot a few years before with my pack string an I lost a horse in the cold but would of lost them all had I not pushed through into a box canyon... I heard from the forest service in a week that we had hit one of the most deadly storms that came out of the north east just plumb out of no where with no warning but I saw the lightning flash off in the distance so kicked my packs and ran the horses til I had to walk them. People figured that I was dead, I was busy burying my horse which had me in a bad way

Good luck with the 8N! When I was young in 1957 to 1960 my parents had an 8N. I remember my father complaining about the ford more than the allis charmers WD. The complaint was that it needed an overhaul every year. They used it to plow fields with a 2 bottom plow and other things to grow corn. So, I guess if you only use it for low strain work, it might be ok for that. Best Wishes!
