5 Upgrades for your Ford N Series Tractor and 1 Bonus Upgrade (Vintage Tractor Upgrades)

[@benkanobe7500]

I think LED headlights and one of the small LED off road bar lights for a reverse light are good upgrades.

Over-running clutch is a MUST HAVE if there’s Any chance that you will hook up your PTO. Spend the money, it’s not worth your life or someone else’s not to have that piece of equipment on your tractor. Nice tractor, if it didn’t have a few dents, it wouldn’t be worth anything. I have two of them and I love them both!👍 BTW- The reason so many 8n’s don’t have a grill anymore Is because the grill is your emergency brake, Or so, we used to say a few decades ago🤣

Excellent content man. Great job. Thanku 🙏 Love my “51” 8N and all of that Old Iron!!! Keep ‘em comin’!

I enjoyed your video but i use my 8n in the sun a lot. I built a roof with a stretched metal backing. With a Bush hog its a must have.

I’d love a roof over the seat. Would be really nice to have.

@@DereksWorkshopAndProjects I cheated, 1 inch square tubing and a piece of barn tin.

So i remember seeing in a video that 8n parts are relatively easy to come by. Are the 9n and jubilee the same way or did modernization and anti-consumer engineering start to take hold and make parts scarce? I’m asking because i love this tractor. The look, the size, and the fact my grandfather had one. I never got to acquire it before his passing and it is since gone. But i’d really love to get one of these old girls. Any information is appreciated❤

I looked at the cheaper version of the electronic ignition, and they all got mixed reviews with a lot of 1 star reviews. Some worked, some only worked for a few seconds to a few minutes.

Mines been working for two years. I didn’t even read the reviews.
