I bought my first 8N 1994, it was an unloved 1950. But it ran and everything worked. I liked it so much I bought 1951 8N to keep it co.pany. I named one Pretty and the other Sexy. I got old and I'm falling apart, but those old Ford tractors still run good. Sold both tractors last year and made 1700 bucks more than I paid for each. 3400 dollar profit, and had fun on my 320 acres for 30 . I just can bring myself to sell those farms yet. Good deer and turkey hunting and a live creeks running through the place. I'm headed for a wheelchair soon, but I can set on the porch and remember 30 years playing on those Fords that are 4 years older that me. Ha

Wow, you have some great memories there, Im getting to the worn out stage in my life also. The area I was cutting ,I had been letting grow each year for the pollinators ,honeybees that I raise. But I have let it go too long so it had to come down. A 5 ft bushog and this brush was about all it could handle. Hang in there, enjoy life , Thanks for watching !!!

OMG! Tractor porn. My Grandpa had that same tractor and my father used to bushhog paths for our dirt bikes. I wanted to drive that thing sooo much, but by the time I was old enough, they sold the tractor. That video brought back some great memories. Thank You

Hi Richard, im sad to hear the tractor got away from your family .Time makes that happen a lot nowadays as we age. Priorities change over as we age. I have 6 other tractors they are mostly larger, specialty use . This was my grandfather's tractor, I use it alot too. If you are ever around in virginia,give me a shout, and I will let you take it for a spin !! Thanks for watching.

I've only ever drove a '54 Farmall Super C but that 9N looks like smart ol' yeller. Great tractor!

@josephbruceismay6832 Years ago as a teenager, I couldn't stand fooling with trying to use it for work, pulling hay wagons, bushoging all day, these task were not suited for it, it's too small to use it safely. Then when you had to tinker with it to get it started, or fix it when it stalled in the middle of nowhere. This drove me crazy haveing to stop to try and fix the dang thing . I wanted diesels and cabs, go all day long with no problems. However, I have learned to repair this 9n and listen, pay attention to different sounds that could indicate that trouble was comeing , just around the corner. Ect. Now I look at it as a dependable tractor with several tasks that it is suited for. It also brings me a sense of accomplishment and pride when I complete whatever is necessary at the time. ]p])

5 hrs on that tractor was enough for 1 day kinda stressful , this cutting was the limit for the tractor and 5 ft bushhog about all it was capable of. Thanks for watching.

Great grand father had a rule of the tractor can push it over then the bush hog would cut it

9n owner here. No sherman anything. Just got new tires. I hope they last another 50 years; it'll be aomeone elses problem. Im not gonna lie, dads kubota is pretty nice, but i can fix mine in the mud on a Saturday with some parts from napa...

I can relate to that, a neighbor here had a 8n, he thought it was slow when bushoging in 3rd gear , it could be difficult starting at times also. No problem it could have been fixed for sure. Well they got rid of their 8n and got a kioti diesel with a loader, 25 or 28 hp, now when cutting on the same ground, with the same 5ft ft cutter, it has to stay in 1st sometimes 2nd gear!!! That's a expensive lesson that I'm glad I didn't make.

Does that tractor have an auxiliary transmission. (high and low range)?

@hnorton8298 23 күн бұрын

No it doesn't have a Sherman or the other one, ive tried to find a complete running tractor with one in the past, no luck. I've seen one at a steam and gas show, wasn't for sale, though. Thanks for watching.

@@hnorton8298 I have a Hupp trans in my TO 20. The low range helps with the extreme brushhogging
