FREE 1944 Ford Tractor: Will It Run?

Sorry for the wind noise in parts of this video. Need a better mic setup.

Beautiful tractor

[@sydrider6023]

One of the best yt video ever.

[@sunfishensunfishen2271]

My buddy has one of these, always wanted to drive on

[@SealedBeamRallyTeam]

I'm sure a 6 pack would be an adequate trade 🍻 They're super easy to drive

[@patcarbone1753]

I like that you do all types of projects on your channel. Press on!!!

[@sydrider6023]

Never a swear word…👍😉

[@SealedBeamRallyTeam]

I don't think I even had to edit one out! Haha :)

[@doughboy1966]

If you watch Thunder head 289 video he shows an in-depth video on setting the ignition timing. Also there is a spin on oil filter adapter that will replace that canister oil filter. Sure enjoyed this video as I enjoy watching all of your videos.

[@SealedBeamRallyTeam]

Didn't know he did tractor stuff! Might have to dip into his channel again if i end up adjusting timing on this rig

[@kimswansonlinner6889]

"Alright, we're going!!!" YAY!!!

[@kimswansonlinner6889]

Almost like a gocart with uncles!!!

[@mindblownwatcher8536]

Loved the Corvair content @27:23 , great vid and thats a nice tractor.

[@SealedBeamRallyTeam]

May see that Greenbrier again in the future

[@benkanobe7500]

Use Vice Grips on the carb screws perpendicular to the screw shaft, clamp them hard, turn an 1/8 to break the torque, then just use the intended flat head. You can use this method on many bolts or nuts that you can get a grip on. Much better than impact driver and less violent.

[@SealedBeamRallyTeam]

A solid technique

[@jtuberogers3528]

Technically a 2N. Ford changed the model name in 1942, to account for the steel-wheeled, no-electrics wartime shortages version. The tractors almost immediately regained rubber and electrics, but the model name change also allowed Ford to increase the price, getting around wartime anti-inflation rules. Oddly enough, they never changed the serial number plates; all 2Ns (every tractor built 1942 to 1947) have 9N serial numbers.

[@SealedBeamRallyTeam]

Interesting! Thanks for clarifying

[@kimswansonlinner6889]

Id say its at the "janky" connection!!!

[@kimswansonlinner6889]

"Oh no...thats not good!!!" Pop a new battery in!!!... "Get it spinning a little bit better!"... Oops, gotta charge the new battery... "Carp starter...hopefully that'll work"... WOW!!!

[@kimswansonlinner6889]

"I think I can just jam it in there and it should be okay. Lets pop it in there and see if it'll work"...

[@SealedBeamRallyTeam]

Don't forget the ignition coil wire failing randomly in the middle of everything else.

[@johnmcdermott8523]

Microphone catches static when engine revs. Sometimes a bad condenser transmits radio waves which certain devices receive.

[@SealedBeamRallyTeam]

I think the sound may have actually been peaking too loud for the mic, too. The end result would be the same

[@redhenracing2]

Is this still available

[@kimswansonlinner6889]

"Put it on the bench"... "Im not sure what this thing does"... "Thats pretty good"... "If you use the WRONG lubricant, it doesnt actualky do its job ... a good lesson for ALL lubricants."...

[@benkanobe7500]

Carb looks Great!!!!! Was the rust remover in the ultrasonic or did you use it prior to ultrasonic?

[@SealedBeamRallyTeam]

I don't use rust remover in the ultrasonic- usually do purple power in there. Unfortunately the motor oil coating didn't stick well. I should have painted it.

[@benkanobe7500]

@@SealedBeamRallyTeam Thanks for the fast feedback and letting me know about the rust after engine oil. I will paint mine. Thank you!

[@kimswansonlinner6889]

"Fuel sediment bowl, which is clearly disgusting"... "Hose here is super sketchy"...

[@SealedBeamRallyTeam]

Hose broke in half when i tried to remove it

[@benkanobe7500]

Needle/seat in carb.
