Here's the 8n I want. It's a New Holland and it's 50 hp. They originally were around $30,000 when they first came out a few years ago but the price may match the horsepower now.

They had taken a carpenter pencil and run many lines of graphite around the inside of the cap grounding out each contact point.. when cleaned it started
