There's just something satisfying watching someone pressure wash a vehicle, at least for me it is. Seeing the finished result. Looking forward to seeing more of the tractor. Thanks for the video.

[@Sleeperdude]

Thanks I’m glad you liked it

[@michaelreece458]

Yessir, that's definitely a keeper. Just give her a wipe down with boiled linseed oil to seal in that patina.

[@Sleeperdude]

Yep that’s all it needs

[@mackjenkins7721]

I love watching you power wash man. A like seeing the results after it's been washed which always turns out good. I was surprised to see you in Boots & not your working shoes. " LOL " i enjoy watching.

[@AdderoYuu]

I'll be honest man I like your videos the best out of all the KZbinrs I've watched because of the dynamic you have with your family. You all are very fun to watch working on cars and all your projects are unique and cool, and in general your content interests me the most.

[@Sleeperdude]

Thank you I really appreciate it

The wife has to be pretty happy with that clean up job on her tractor. Those old Ford Tractors are real work horses too.Thanks for sharing.

[@Sleeperdude]

Yes she loves it

[@markbaudhuin4544]

Great job, these tractors are bullet proof. I would recommend the N newsletter magazine, very informative, & they have a buy sell section, & great advertiser's for parts.

[@Sleeperdude]

Thanks I will check it out

[@donaldprater5099]

Super cool man. I'm lucky to have inherited my grandfather's 45 2n. I has to fix it up a little after he gave it to me but now it runs and drives great.

[@Sleeperdude]

That’s great

[@jimelzea7441]

I grew up driving a ford tractor like this. The all around go-to tractor on the ranch! (1956-1975)

[@Sleeperdude]

That’s awesome

[@jameslester3861]

The hood is amazingly good condition for sitting on the ground all those years. Here in Louisiana it would have rusted away. I had to buy a brand new hood for mine off Ebay, it’s pretty close to the original. I haven’t bought new dog legs or grille yet.$$$$ Welcome to the world of N tractors, you may get classic tractor fever now.

[@Sleeperdude]

It surprised me it was in that good of shape too

[@Quint1836]

I think that 4th cylinder came back around. Right on brother! Built Ford Tough. I'm subscribed

[@Sleeperdude]

Thanks man

[@ronaldclark1178]

Sounds like the valve finally turned loose!! Sounds good!

[@Sleeperdude]

Yes I think it did thank you

[@RyanRyker]

@Josh, looks great and sounds pretty good too. Heck man is there anything you cant bring back to life???? Is the kids wanna give their mom a present for mothers day, maybe a nice paint job on the ole gal with a big bow would be a good present, they could always put their hand prints on the hood, maybe you and Her could add yours as well.

[@doylerabjohn3435]

I like seeing you giving it some love & not in the bone yard. And for safety reasons put a cap on the pto.

[@Sleeperdude]

Thanks

[@imkwuzn]

Super cool video. I’m amazed that it fired right up after 30 years and ran on 3 cylinders good enough to drive it. Sounded like the 4th cylinder freed itself up as it was purring at the end. There’s something about good old American made equipment. It’s a shame that most of our manufacturing has been outsourced to China and other places over the decades. Love the power washing. So satisfying to watch!

[@Sleeperdude]

Yeah it’s running on 4 now. Yes it is a shame

[@stoveboltlvr3798]

Looks and runs good. I'd be tempted to fix the sheet metal and paint it factory colors. It'll come in handy for lots of stuff.

[@Sleeperdude]

It surprised me that it ran that good

[@Shypainter]

Yeah agree, restore it and drive it in the 4th July parade

[@stanwebb3480]

Front and back light working!!! A farm caution sign on the back!!!! A cushion for the seat!!! A ford emblem for the front plus the ties and wheels if they need it first!!!! PTO working for a mower!!!!

[@bbrut3332]

Some coarse and fine scotch brite and a quart or 2 of Rusteolum lite grey paint and it will keep it from rusting and look great for 75 year old farm tractor.

[@Sleeperdude]

Good idea

[@boblamb8421]

I watched the video of you guys pulling that out the old tractor. When you grabbed the hood did you look through all the stuff for the grill. It would complete the project. On my wife's family farm in Southern Illinois there is an early 40's Ford tractor just like that one. It runs and via PTO operates a flail mower. It boils over constantly and the tires are hard and full of water but it starts right up and works like the day it was new. Very cool project.

[@Sleeperdude]

Yeah we looked around and never could find the grill

[@ericcorse]

The old gal just wants to run, I've got 51 8N that I use to drag around a box blade. There is a all kinds of info in forums and manuals about these tractors. Get an owners manual it you don't have one, they aren't hard to find. An ITN manual and parts manual are nice to have too.

[@Sleeperdude]

Ok great thank you . She runs great we use her all the time

[@teddunphy8369]

Looking good! Love my 1941 9N...

[@Sleeperdude]

They are neat little tractors

[@seandayma]

It's amazing how little it rusted after being left apart for so many years.

[@Sleeperdude]

That’s true

[@T.S.1020]

Repainting this thing would breath new life into it.

[@Sleeperdude]

Yes it would

[@DonaldMaples-p5j]

Mom will love it

[@Sleeperdude]

Yes

[@chuckhaynes6458]

The "N" series Ford tractors are great little machines. I believe you will end up needing to do a valve job on this one. Not too difficult and should make for a good video. If you have not been warned about riding the clutch on these considered yourself warned now. I've split many to replace clutches... not my favorite. Enjoy and stay safe.

[@Sleeperdude]

OK great thanks for the info

[@Thebowzer221]

Don't know anything about farm tractors. But this was interesting, especially that it started with only 3 cylinders. Looks like a nice little tractor. Great job. Good luck with it. A new subscriber here.

[@Sleeperdude]

[@Shield.148]

I would flip those rear tires, and widen the front axle, just so it would have a wider stance, and be harder to roll over. I like it though!

[@Sleeperdude]

Good idea

[@roncornelius8339]

Yes 👍🏻. I Subscribed

[@Sleeperdude]

Thank you

[@ddd3240]

If I am not mistaken that cab was an option. Our school district has 2ns they used to mow with. Of course they were painted with the school colors. They also had tops very similar to these as I wanted one to go on our 8n but could not find/afford one. Would have made baling hay a bit better for the driver. Texas sunshine in July can be a lot of fun. I have to admit the 2n does look a bit better cleaned up but I still want a cab for mine!

[@Sleeperdude]

Ok thanks it definitely helps

[@RaginEagle]

That was a jewl fund and you got it looking good.

[@Sleeperdude]

Thanks

[@RaginEagle]

Kewl find lol

[@jameslcoble248]

I have a 8n ford myself. I love it but it is a little small for what I need horsepower wise. Like to get ahold of a 861 ford if possible. Looks good though.

[@tsparky236]

Think you will find that the tractor will shift a lot easier if you disengage the PTO sir? We had 3 of these on our farm when I was younger, that made a world of difference. Only engage PTO when you are going to use it, like 3 point or equipment. Probably found out about this already because I’m just now looking at prior videos. Love both channels sir, thank you

[@markamcampbell6340]

my father bought a 8n from an estate sale, we got it running and went home to get a trailer and when we got back 1 hour later she sold it out from under us. and said she would pay us back someday. the guy she sold it to had to rebuild the rear diff and brakes as it locked up on him in the field.

[@Sleeperdude]

Wow that’s a crazy story

[@simonframpton7090]

I like pressure washers save a lot of scrubbing

[@Sleeperdude]

For sure thank you

[@duanek9892]

It may be calcium chloride used as ballast in your rear tires...it is very corrosive and tough on the rims. Even though it may have been put in an inner tube, over time leaks can occur allowing it to get to the rim. I went away from that to pie weights on my 8N.

[@Sleeperdude]

Ok thanks

[@terryezzell7376]

That is the first top I have ever seen on a Ford 9N or 2N. Got to wonder if this was an option or did the previous owner make it himself

[@born2soon]

I'd like to have one for my 51 8N, but then it wouldn't fit in my garage. I don't think Ford made them, but I could be wrong. Maybe an aftermarket item.

To inflate water filled tyres just make sure the valve is at the top of the wheel as there is very little water in the tyres.

Be real careful filling it with gas. Being that the gas tank is right next to the battery. I've seen these tractors burnt up by gas spilling onto the battery.
