In need of a new riding lawn mower, Derek heads east to find himself a 1950 Ford 8N tractor. But with a cracked engine block and a bees' nest for a battery, Derek will have to revisit his farming routes to make this implement operational.

Big difference in attitude working with something he knows front to back and really likes, and something he doesn't fully understand and doesn't really care about. Lots more fun with the tractor!

I worked for a marketing company that supported part sales for New Holland Corp, which owned the Ford tractor line at that time. (early 2000's). Parts for 8 & 9 N tractors were still a major seller even though they hadn't been produced for over 50yrs.

@roberthayes5037 7 күн бұрын

They are all worth fixing and restoring. I recently bought a 8N and I love it. Most of them need lots of work to bring them up to specs but they are definitely worth it. Parts are cheap and you can find them everywhere.

@Radiowild Ай бұрын

My Father had a 1948 8N tractor. It was an absolute workhorse! We had a bush hog we used with the PTO to cut the lawn in our field. We connected a plow blade to the 3 point hitch to clear snow. Just a great machine!

Not sure about swapping out those original fenders with the Ford script, unless the metal was too far gone for a repaint. The rest of the tractor looks great in gray.
