Welcome!
A lot of good advice has already been given. I will echo some of it.
First of all, as mentioned, get yourself an owner's manual and whatever other manuals you can find. Read and study them and get familiar with your tractor.
Second, if it's currently running, just drive it and use it for a while before doing any major work on it. Get familiar with it and determine what needs to be fixed and what does not. Then fix one small thing at a time, don't tear the whole thing all apart at once. It's easy to get overwhelmed and discouraged and never get it back together again. Don't ask me how I know this!
Third, as also mentioned, visit the 8N forum down below, as well as this one. Lots of expert advice to be had here.
Good luck with your new tractor, and keep us posted on your progress. I grew up on an 8N. It was one of the first tractors I learned to drive on. They are a fun little tractor. I have another one now.
After you've posted here 5 or 6 times you will be able to post pictures. We'd love to see pictures of your tractor!

While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
