I don't think this guy understands that all these machines are from the 20-50s there not going to be the best top of the line tractors today back the all you could do was suck it up and figure it out

[@VintageMachines19]

Thanks for sharing your perspective! It's always good to remember the context of these machines and the hard work that went into using them back in the day.

I noticed quite a few errors, but interesting video. I know that whenever an Oliver shows up for an Antique Tractor Pull, other brands are in for a tough time. And I like the other shade of Green!

[@VintageMachines19]

I appreciate your constructive criticism! I’m glad you enjoyed the video despite the errors. Your knowledge about Oliver tractors is impressive, and I love hearing from viewers who are passionate about the topic!

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

@VintageMachines19 I don't know much about the Oliver's, except that they are solid pulling tractors. The pony motor starter wasn't exclusive to JD, Caterpillar used them as well. My Dad said they were not that bad to use, and I believe Shepard may have used them as well.

Biggest problem with the Ford 8N, and some of the later models, is the pedal placement. I'm a short fellow, and normally have to drive tractors with the seat adusted forward. But on the 8N, with the seat all the way back, I still have to pull my feet back underneath me to move from the foot rest to above the pedal. We have a taller fellow who drove it once with the seat adjusted forward and said never again. We took the wrenches out and adjusted the seat all the way back that day, and it doesn't help that much.

Thanks for sharing your experience with the Ford 8N! It's interesting how tractor design can affect comfort, especially for different heights.

Who is the idiot that came up with the narrative on the R? I have a '51 & '53 now and ran them in the rice fields in the 60's/70's. They were the best mud hog tractors of their era. Even ran some on steel. Just goes to show you, anyone can make a video and say anything......what a joke!

[@VintageMachines19]

Thank you for sharing your experience with the R series! It’s always insightful to hear from someone who has firsthand knowledge of these machines.

We used to have a 1940-41 Ferguson. Unable to recall whether an 8N or 2N. We would have some issues with that small glass where the fuel (Gasoline) would pass through. We'd have use a piece of cardboard to keep it snug when you screw the little wheel at the bottom. We didn't have any headlights. We used it mostly in the daytime - plowing, Cultivating, tearing up the ground with the disc, had a blade on the back for grading our gravel driveway and sometimes making a path in the snow to get in and out. We also had a bush-hog. You had to hold the throttle lever all the way to you while mowing. It had 4 gears with 1 Reverse. Going up the driveway in 4th gear sounded just like a single engine airplane. I got my experience operating tractors with the Ferguson at an early age. At work now, I have operate a John Deere 5075 M with an H 310 Front-end Loader with Clamshell action, and an E-15 Bat Wing Bush-hog/Mower that I mow the Berms with. I have also operated a New Holland as well.

[@VintageMachines19]

That’s awesome! Sounds like you had a blast with that old Ferguson. And now you're rocking the John Deere? You've leveled up in the tractor game for sure!

The Fordson F was prone to rearing up and over onto the operator because of a pull point too high. The worm gear drive differential was changed to counter that some but generated enough heat to burn your ankles after hours of hard work. The WC had hand brakes, hard to apply evenly and stop straight with your knees in the steering wheel. The D could be hard to start if not properly maintained. You didn't need to double clutch them to shift as most had just 2 speeds, slow and slower. The 8N had 4 speeds not 3 like the 9N and 2N. The got a side mounted automotive style distributor in 1950-52. The R John Deere was a beefy brute that needed Power Steering. The Hydraulics ran off of the PTO which had it's own clutch to make the Hydraulics live. They were very thrifty with a gallon of fuel. Taking into account the enhineering and materials available, improvements came out of need and not laziness in those years. Most of the complaints were due to not maintaining the machine correctly, not lack of good engineering.

Thanks for sharing your insights on those tractors! It's fascinating to learn about the quirks and challenges faced by operators back in the day.

What's the make & model of the tractor that "Mr. Douglas" (Eddie Albert) on "Green Acres" is seen driving on the opening credits of the show?

[@VintageMachines19]

A bit of Hollywood magic is at play here: on the show, Mr. Douglas calls it his “Hoyt-Clagwell”-a completely fictional brand. In reality, the tractor seen chugging along in the Green Acres opening credits is actually an early Fordson Model F (built by Ford) from around the late 1910s/early 1920s. The prop department dressed it up (and sometimes beat it up) to fit the show’s running gag about its frequent breakdowns.

[@seaningram3285]

@@VintageMachines19 Thank You. I've always wanted to know about that tractor with the flywheel.

[@FredericSwinehart]

Why do you constantly show 8n tractors with V8 conversions?

[@VintageMachines19]

Great observation! The 8N tractors with V8 conversions have become quite iconic in the tractor community, and they definitely have a unique charm that sparks a lot of interest.
