It is a prettu common problem with the 8N tractor. It is not hard to do at all, but you must remove the hood and gas tank as has been said. You will need to put some high temp sealant on the threads of some of those head bolts, as they go though to the water jacket. Make sure to thoroughly clean the engine deck and head mating surfaces, and put the new gasket in dry. Tourqe the bolts down to 65-70 lbs, then again when you warm it up, then once again after a few hours of run time.

It really is a piece of cake.

Good luck,
Dan
