I am *very* excited about those spoked front wheels. Except, that's not a tractor anymore. It's a hot rod in a tractor body. Sigh. I only have the highest respect for tractors. (Young driver of 40's Oliver, 50's Allis Chalmers, 60's International Harvestor, 70's Farmall tractors.)

Those front wheels look like they're from a Model A.

It's pretty common to see old Ford 8N tractors with flathead V8s swapped in at tractor shows. A few companies have made this conversion over the years, including "Awesome Henry", which is what this guy used ( http://www.awesomehenry.com ).
The truth is, the last thing a Ford 8N needs is more power. They're too light. My stock 1949 Ford 8N is plenty capable of picking the front end up with ~23 hp, which is what truly limits the amount of work you can do with a tractor. It would need a bunch of weight over the nose to keep it down with more power, and I don't even work it that hard!
