I helped rebuild my great grandfathers 9N when i was 8 with my dad. When i was 15 plowing the driveway became my duty. Its still a 6 volt system and everything works. Still a happy tractor my dad uses. He always got mad at me if i forgot to turn off the fuel or messed with the throttle too much.

So familiar! Our one did not have rust, it was beautiful gray. My impression is that it also had a bit shorter body. But the biggest issue is that our's was a "genuine Ferguson". No matter, that was what I used to learn driving. Although, to be frank, my younger brother was better than me on it. He won some handling competition, where I was just so-so. My failing task was in backing along an S-curve with a trailer. No wonder, I did not become a farmer!

I change the tran. fluid to 80 90 gear oil, on my 52 8n, The axel was make a squel and the host was bad, now works great

Nice 2N you have there. Please put an over-run clutch on that brushhog or you will experience inertia push when stopping.

Looking to buy one of these to skid logs on my property. I think it would work well doing this.

Larry, You got to get rid of that New Holland, with a front bucket, live hydraulics, front wheel assist, a cab, with a heater probably, 😄 Or maybe it will work for a second tractor !!! - Dig that left brake lever, add on, Nice 12 volt. Don't be pulling posts out of the ground with one left 3 point arm, but a nice fix on it. You gotta upgrade that PTO lever,.... with a add on lever assembly !! How did that steering wheel survive all these years ?? Take a cheap paint sprayer and spray the Hood, inside and out, and Fenders, with Transmission fluid, to slow down the rust for a couple of years😊 - You need more people telling you what to do, Right ???

@@larrysblueberryfarmandgard1177 We had a newer 8N, I remember the feel of the Diamond Plate, on our bare feet when we would take the Ford out to trap pocket gophers, I Know OSHA approved ??? 🤨I'll ask them !! The newer levers were wide enough for our tough little feet !! We mounted a Spot Light on it,...off of an old 46 Ford Car. ENJOY !!

Wow! it looks like it may be wearing it's original paint!...at any rate, it's refreshing to see a 9N/2N still wearing it's original color and not molested by being painted like an 8N...9N/2N shouldn't have ANY red...

Such a cool piece of history! Take good care of her. One thing I noticed is the Oil Pressure gauge is reading pretty low. You may want to keep a close eye on that. I would say the average pressure should be 15-20PSI at idle(600ish RPM) and 30-40 PSI at PTO speed.

@larrysblueberryfarmandgard1177 2 жыл бұрын

I just put on a new oil pressure gauge. I also put on a new oil line to the gauge. It was leaking. Hope that's all it is.

@@larrysblueberryfarmandgard1177 Yeah hopefully! These engines were not high output so it’s pretty common to see lower PSI. I’ve read in forums where people don’t really pay too much attention to lower range oil PSI. The engine sounds great on her!

How awkward is it to slow these down with two different brake pedals on each side or do you use the pole handle on the left to break.… Or do you just engage the clutch?

@markcanfield7151 Жыл бұрын

That handle on the right side is not a problem handle its called hydraulic lift handle and it 9N!! Help to not confuse people watching you video before understand it your self good luck with the old girl

It's not a 9N, nor is it a 1939. The radius arms on that one are oval shape, which appeared on mid-1944 and later 2Ns. A 9N will have an I-beam style radius arms. Most people get confused on 9Ns and 2Ns since both models have a serial number starting with "9N", but there were more 2Ns made than 9Ns and had a lot of improvements made during the 1942 to 1947 2N model production run. The oval shape radius arms were carried over into the 8Ns and basically every Ford tractor after that.

@denniskwahl Жыл бұрын

With the oval radius arms and a 3 speed gearbox , this is a 2N , not a 8N, nor 9N. unless it's been altered from original.

You should have what is called a overrun coupler on the PTO Shaft. Without one the centrifugal force of the mower will drive the tractor forward when you push in the clutch to stop.. They make one that will change the 1 1/8 spline to the 1 3/8 spline to fit your mower. It would fit in the space you now have your adapter. I believe your tractor is a 2N model because of how the rear wheel hubs are constructed. They didn't change the 9N number on the castings (Ford was too cheap) These where built during WWII. In 1948 the 8N arrived.
