My father and I ,with a neighbor who's a retired diesel heavy equipment mechanic, fully rebuilt my Dad's( 1948 Ford 8N) tractor ,35 yrs ago for$ 1200 , my Dad bought it new in 1948 for $1000 with a loader and back blade, we used the tractor a lot for raking hay and cleaning out cattle barns . It's was rebuilt again in 2020 by the current owner. It's used daily,harrowing a sand surface ,in a large horse training arena, and raking hay in the summer time.

Kevin & Sons are Pro’s. There’s Nothing they can’t do. Sidney & Ethan learned from a Great teacher.

Bring her back up to life, good job. On the farm for another 80 yrs.

Hi beautiful... Those guys smiles say it all. When you do a total rebuild and she starts right up with good oil pressure and no knocking it is indeed time to celebrate...

Sidney did a great job of explaining while looking good on camera! And Kevin should be very proud how well he taught the boys. No doubt you Rhonda are very proud of your whole family. Thanks for taking us along for the entire rebuild, looking forward to the same on the Challenger. Best regards from Florida.

AWESOME rebuild. I grew us on FORD 8 and 9 N tractors.

Sydney is the precision guy but they are one good team in that workshop , vintage little old tractor !

Michigan here, we are water soaked too. Love your videos, Thanks.

Those two young men got the skills to get it done

I grew up with a Ford 8N as one of our tractors. Had the engine rebuilt about 1977-'78. My oldest brother still has it & uses it to plow and disc his massive garden. Those things are true work horses. We also had a John Deere 4020, another work horse. Great job Ronda on the video & kudos to Kevin, Sydney & Ethan for a job well done! I hope Zander got to help some too, increasing his knowledge & ability.

Great to see Sidney in this video. Sure enjoy the work on the old Ford.

Between yr hubby and oldest....its hard to tell who's talking unless you see their lips move. Lol they sound so much alike...keep up the great videos

Great job everyone!!! We had an 8N Ford loader tractor. They had improved by then, and put both of the brake pedals on the right side platform. I am thankful that they figured out that putting the brake pedals together on the right side, was a huge improvement. The old 2-cylinder John Deere tractors I drove, had a brake pedal on the left side of the platform, and a brake pedal on the right side of the platform. But what made it easier, was that they had a hand clutch lever instead of a foot clutch pedal. This made it easier for emergency stops, because you could use both feet on the brake pedals, and use your hand on the clutch lever. They have made great improvements over the years, in the placement of the clutch pedal and brake pedals.

Absolutely love that Kevin and your guys son’s are preserving history with their skills, it’s amazing how far farm equipment has evolved in one generation, as Kevin said, it’s what we used to farm with.

If you like working on that tractor,I have one sitting in my barn that you can buy,need to get it out.It’s my cousin and been there for couple of years taking up space. It does run!

I love these videos of tractors, I didn't grow up with them but once I bought my first tractor I was hooked. Also the crankshaft on the table, oh yeah ! I have rebuilt small outboard motors on my kitchen table when my wife was at work...

Good to go another 80 years. Good work men

O love the old 9n. Thank you

Your neighbors must know Kevin and the boys are all handy mechanics and bring you stuff to fix. Nice work.

Sidney is quite knowledgeable. He is also so good at explaining things. Wish he lived near me to teach me. You put together another great video 👍

Wearing red on Friday shows support for our deployed troops. Is the d shirt day a Friday? I'm a veteran, so I care. Nice job fellows!

I couldn't believe Sydney had so much to say, he was terrific, how did the owner feel about even a cheap rebuild, seems he would've been delighted to having running well again, the 8 and 9ns were among the first tractors I drove, certainly different than the modern tractors, you did great, Rhonda driving it for the first time, excellent rebuild and video

Great job guys bring back my memories

I watched the video when Kenzie got to drive the white Volvo home. I was impressed, she did a great job. I’ve been driving trucks for 47 years. It’s really nice to see how you and Kevin work and the introduction with the kids are. It brings back memories when I was on the farm. Now I’m retired but I still help out at local grain elevator. Good job 👏

Super cool! Thank you, AoCH!

Beautiful to see everyone working like clockwork , very smart family

My father had a 80 acre dairy farm and farmed the whole thing with a 8n. One row corn picker & a two bottom plow. Love the rebuild.

Another great father and son's video 👍👍

I. Like. Watching. Your. Videos

Great video, thanks

Most precious site. Watching your husband and son working together. Thank you for sharing God bless

Always touching, entertaining & educational to view this exceptional American family working together. The love & leadership of Kevin & Rhonda has created a family that anyone would be proud, happy & blessed to be a member of! It makes many, envious, they will never have access to such an awe-inspiring family experience, other than in their dreams!

Sounds good. We rebuilt the shop tractor with I was in high school That been more years than I want to think about. It ran good when we got it done.took awhile just getting to work on it a hour a day in the shop in FFA. God bless. Have a great day. Dan

we wore the sleeve out on my grandfathers 8n it was the loader and hay rake tractor, it happens on a daily work tractor, good job guys

That’s the tractor I learned to drive on. I put hundreds of miles plowing and mowing.

If the world were filled with more people like you it would be awesome 😎

Great video, really nice rebuild, checking everything 💯💯👍👍. I can not believe that the oldest was talking and on video. It is really nice to see all the guys working together 👍.

Thanks Ronda for all that father boys rebuilt that engine we appreciate that it reminds me of my days doing that I used to love rebuilding engines in cars and pickup trucks thanks for sharing we appreciate it God bless you and your family

We had a 9n ford back in the 50's-60's for a loader tractor.

Just a suggestion....When I built engines back in the 70's, I use to put fuel hose pieces on the rod bolts...just to ensure the bolts would not score the crank bearing journeys when installing the piston/rod.

We called the lever on the side overdrive - not only did it speed up the transmission but also the PTO. Worked good pulling the hay crusher because you could use a lower gear and run the crusher faster (my job as a kid!)

I love your channel , beautiful family

Love the channel watching here from Phillipines

That is so amazing you guys can do that you videos are awesome keep up the great work

Good to see more of your oldest son

Ronda, Just remember that great rewards comes to those who wait patiently 😊

Sydney... oh my gosh!!! What an amazing video showing you explaining & showing your progress on the engine re-build!!! And with your dad & Ethan hanging in with ya through thick 'n' thin & your mom doing the video... AND Sanders on the spot helping out... what a treat!!! Just keep saying "y'all are totally amazing"!!!

Yep I was with dad on this one as an old mechanic, you got pressure blowing through your dipstick tube you got blow by the rings for sure, good video guys keep up the great work! 😊

I just sold a 1960 Ford 601 workmaster. Love those old Ford tractors.

My father first tractor on his farm was one of those 1940's Fords. It was a workhorse in those days

That's one thing about old tractors, Simple, especially old Fords

Awesome job guys well done 👍

Rhonda I enjoyed that video. I think that’s the first time I have seen Sidneys face or heard him talk Lol. I like the Father / son rivalry on what could be wrong. I loved the part with you driving the old Ford . If the Challenger don’t get finished you might have to keep the Ford as backup 🤗

Good job guys. Thanks for the vid Rhonda.

Thanks for sharing, makes me smile!

One of your best videos I love these type of videos Great job

Nice to see all your men working together

So cool to see the rebuild great mechanical work y’all good to see the old equipment back to use

Nice one guys 👍

Seeing and hearing that tractor ent my memories back to my younger days on my Uncle’s farm. He had a Ford just like that one! Thanks for the pleasant memories. 🚕 👩‍🌾. God bless and have a great day.

What a great learning experience for you sons

Great job Sidney of explaining what you guys were doing! Thanks

cool old tractor,and good engine rebuild.

Thank you Sidney for your contribution to this video! I totaly get your attitude of doing it in stead of talking about it!

NOT THAT IT MATTERS BUT I`M REALLY IMPRESSED WITH THE GROWTH IN SIDNEY , THE THE WAY KEVIN SIDNEY AND ETHAN WORK TOGETHER ALL OF ONE MIND WITH MS RHONDA AS THE/BRAINS BEHIND IT ALL, I LOVED SEEING THAT FORD MY GRAND PAP HAD ONE WITH THE VERY SAME PUSH BUTTON STARTER I SEE ANOTHER VLOG IN UR FUTURE CALLED "COLLABORATING WITH THE CLAYS "

What a team effort! Awesome job guys on the little ol' tractor! It's not every day we see Sydney on camera. Another cool dude, I must add! Enjoy your day/ week!

The motor sounds good! That 9n has the Sherman transmission down on the left side is the lever.

That was a great video , You look real good on that old Ford. God Bless.

those boys could make some good bucks redoing those old tractors for people be a good side gig cause their good at it,lots of us knuckle heads that like the old stuff

You guys are masters in the engine shop! I learned the same skills and patience from my dad in the race car shop. So cool to watch.

Sounds just like a new one did in 1936 -1939 ; Great job!

U have sum very talented boys. Goderich Ontario Canada

Very nice job hope you can do more on older tractors

Good job and that is a nice little tractor.

congratulations family hello from rome italy

Great Mom crank work on the kitchen table 😁

👍💓To you're hard-working family for what you provide this growing population brilliant Lads, well-done video.

Another excellent video , great family team at work . You all should be very proud. Looking forward to challenger getting up an running video , hope dealer gets to you soon .

Awesome video! Blessed and highly favored with talent your family has. Kevin and you have apparently instilled a great worth ethic in your children. May God continue to bless and keep this hard working family. Always eagerly awaiting your new posts. Thank you for sharing.

Great video . . .

I really enjoyed the 4010 engine rebuild. Looking forward to watching the 9n engine rebuild

Nice video was nice to see all the boys working on this wish I knew how to work on motors God Bless

Another great video ice to see the boys and dad all working together. Sanders where were you and your new tools didn't the big boys let you help great way to learn. Have a safe and healthy day.

A 9N was the first tractor my Grandpa bought. It put the 2 teams of work horses in semi retirement! Grandpa would not sell the horses. During WW II he would use the horses to save rationed gasoline for the tractor to use in the car! I still have that tractor. It runs and I plan on passing it on to my children! Lot of sentimental value there! That was the first tractor I learned to drive!

Great video. Tell the boys to not crank on the starter too much at one go, they can get hot and cause issues

Awesome you rebuilt + saved that old Ford tractor! The boys certainly did a good job rebuilding the motor. Sure has a unique "4 cylinder" sound! Wonder what size of 4 cylinder engine this is & the horsepower. May still be bigger cylinders + displacement than my 2020 Ford Ranger 2.3 liter EcoBoost (138 CID), lol. Fun old tractor though.

Great video!

That lever is called a sherman witch is a high&low range for the transmission.

My grandfather had one

Very good video thanks for the video very good work on 9n ford tractor keep up the good work you do

Great video Rhonda I watch all of your videos

It's always good watching ur videos. They're both educational and comical. Ronda can you imagine sitting in the seat of one of these for 12 hrs. straight? I did notice the seat upgrade from metal to to padded. Have a wonderful Sunday

Coming Rhonda, It's just an old Ford EASY PEASY LOL

Always enjoy all your videos

Great job on the tractor.

Your son's can be mechanic's for a living. And your husband as well

I grew up with an old Ford Golden Jubilee 53 model. A bit newer but still with the same old steering. I've noticed some of the "off brand" tractors have gone back to that

Everybody is happy. Superb.

Brilliant. Thankyou

You look good on this traktor
