Ford 8N Tractor | The Best Tractor You Can Buy!

[@LohreFarm]

This is the best tractor ever. Do you agree?

[@cspfitch]

I really appreciate people like you who care about and take notice to the best selling tractor. I myself have 2 ford 8N’s and use them both for different jobs. Great video!!

[@LohreFarm]

Awesome! Thank you, and yes these are the best tractors.

[@marcelomateos3451]

I have a 1950 Ford 8n. Love it!

[@LohreFarm]

Does it have the embossed rear fenders? If I remember correctly that was the first year Ford put those on the tractor. So cool.

[@theirishmountaingoats533]

Nothin like a david brown, the 950 is a hell of a tractor

[@LohreFarm]

Totally agree, and a real fine looking one too.

[@Jason1Pa]

I saw your post on one of the Facebook groups. Thought Id come over and check it out.. Love my Fords! Currently have 3 along with multiple others I've restored. Subbed. Hope to see more in the future!

[@LohreFarm]

That’s so awesome. These tractor are a bunch of fun. Thanks for checking out the channel. I’ve tried to make some cool 8n videos.

I have a Ford 706 reversible scoop, you can see it on my 2N in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmfdaYtmorSSnq8si=Hwx9zsLZMUlpZP9r The Ford N-Series tractors started with the 9N in 1939, then came the 2N in 1942. A lot of people confused the 2N with the 9N since both are almost identical and have serial numbers starting with "9N". The 8N came out in 1947 and had a lot of improvements over the 2N, 4 speed transmission, position control, etc. The Golden Jubilee came out in 1953 and added even more upgrades, larger OHV engine, live hydraulics, optionable live PTO, etc. You can trace the N-series up to 1964 with the 2000 and 4000 tractors that came out in 1962.

That's an awesome scoop. Tractor seems to be running real nice there. I only paid $20 for the scoop I modified, so I didn't mind attempting my experiment. Thanks for sharing the video, and knowledge.

[@LohreFarm]

Haha, yes. Lots of rooster noises in this video.

[@budkingston3347]

The 1950+ with side mount distributor is probably relatively better, IMHO. I have a 51 and a 48. Your assessment of the $1,400 old=$18,000 new is accurate, but remember, there is no tax on $1,000 used, and parts are probably more available for the 70 year old stuff and definitely cheaper. Try rebuilding a Yanmar engine for the same price.

[@LohreFarm]

Yes, the availability of parts alone is huge. There really hasn't been a part I couldn't find, and at a reasonable price too. Great comment!

[@adiamondforever7890]

I have 2, and my brother has 2, his are a 860, and a 871. Mine is a 631, and an Allis D17D. Everything the Fords need is available from Ford and or aftermarket. The 8n just doesn’t have the power for what we need to do, and my Allis has parts issues. The flat rate manual gives twice as many hours to rebuild the engine as my 6 cylinder diesel, so there are sone trade offs. Have fun

Welcome to the Ford N Series.

[@LohreFarm]

Exactly. These things are great!

@@LohreFarm I have a 1941 9n runs great. My wife has a 1947 2n she repainted when we overhauled it. Last year we grew 1600 pounds of potatoes with our tractors.

[@LohreFarm]

@jeromejohnson6448 that’s so awesome. My wife drove the tractor for the first time this past weekend. I can’t wait to show everyone the video. I was very proud, she really did amazing. And dang that’s a lot of potatoes.

[@jeromejohnson6448]

@@LohreFarm We grew them for practice and to show my family gave most away to help people. Look for a cole planter mx12, speedo one row potato planter. You will not be able to eat all the food you grow. Now is the time to by seeds on sale.

[@LohreFarm]

@jeromejohnson6448 That’s a good problem to have. The abundance can be huge.

[@OO-by2jl]

My 1025r will out work it easily

[@LohreFarm]

Those sound like fighting words, haha. That's a cool little tractor, but a little more costly than a 8N.

[@OO-by2jl]

@@LohreFarm we had a 9 n when I was a kid. Engine burnt so much oil you'd fill the oil and check the gas

[@LohreFarm]

@OO-by2jl Haha That’s a pretty funny line. I might use that.
