Nice. I have a 1927 fairway that was owned by Sir Harry Oakes who died under suspicious circumstances... it was used at Oakland’s golf course in Niagara Falls until the late 1950’s as far as I can tell. We acquired it almost 40 years ago now, it has a Bosch overspeed governor and Wico magneto also an N model “gasoline only” manifold and zenith carb. It runs well but is apart for a proper restoration at the moment. Nice machine you have there.

I have seen an old timer mechanic who is now retired solder pennies over rust holes in a Fordson fuel tank to 'keep it going a bit longer'!

Excellent video it's nice to see the walk around videos. The old Fordson tractors were quite crude but they were a big step up from horses on the farm. Keep up the great videos

It looks like if driving it in the rain, snow, or across badger holes you better keep your feet stuck to that foot peg and filler cap like glue. Slip off and your foot is in those spokes. Yikes!

Love those old Fordson tractors! Amazing how much Squatch knows about them, I wish I had a sliver of his knowledge! Thanks for sharing, Squatch!

I know quite a few vintage ploughmen that use that hook on the clutch pedal to hold the clutch down while they make adjustments to the plough as these clutches were famed for not clearing 🙄😏 another excellent walk round 🤔👌

They say on the n model fordsons if the tractor is parked for extended periods of time the clutch pedal should be held down to prevent the clutch from becoming sticky. I know Fordson n had belveiw washers inside the clutch to force the disc apart I assume the earlier fordsons would similar. I would love to see more of your Fordson stuff squatch

I'll watch these 'short bites' show videos. As I'm more interesting in building, I usually don't watch the 20 or so minute show videos. But, in this two to five minute format, I think I've watched them all this time. Good stuff.
@ron827 Жыл бұрын
The catch for the clutch pedal may have been there to relieve drag on the engine due to transmission heavy lube when hand cranking in colder weather or to temporarily remove power from the belt pulley..

@@squatch253 I am sure those are all factors for that particular tractor. That being said, my point is, the higher the hitch is, the more likely it will go over backwards and not the other way around.

cool old tractor my dad's family had a fordson he told me once him and brother tried to fix a leak in the fuel tank when they were kids and my dad thought he could fix it had a hole you could see through the fill hole so being kids not knowing everything my dad thought he could just fix it through the fill hole not knowing it split the tank and blew them back but luckily not hurt they learned there lesson gas fumes ignite with a torch flame

I love any tractor with steel wheels. Show me one, and you've made my day. :) Great great grandpa owned a steam one, first imported from the states in the country! We don't know what it was, it's been lost to history and war, but grandma still caught it when she was a kid. It was unfortunately destroyed when the commies started stealing things as they do. She really loved telling stories about it, and her dad, would occasionally start it and take her, her mother and her brother on it. I wish i could've at least seen it, but alas that was not to be.
