I bought an old Ford Tractor! Let's cold start it and plow some snow! - Vice Grip Garage EP58

I needed a hand around the shop. So naturally, I just bought a tractor instead of paying someone to help. I found a really cool old ford 9n south of town and had to have it. It's got a full hydraulic loader, working 3 point with a blade, and she even has high low! It was left in a tree row, and we fought pretty well to get it home. Let's see if it will start, and put it work plowing some snow!

[@OldMotorcycleAdventures]

My dad showed me a way to take up the strap slack. Leave a 4 inch or so hole in the center, and wrap it up in a circle. Leave a foot or two before you get to the rachet, and run the remaining slack through the center. Since it will be doubled over on itself, you flip it around the coil, and pull tight, it will keep it from unravelling. There's some videos on youtube of this method, it's a game changer!

[@Tactical_Arborist_1776]

Love the tractor! Have had many N series. Loved them all. 8n started production in 1948 (hence the 8 in the name) and the 8n had the small bolt pattern on the rear wheels. That's probably a mid 40s 2N. The 9n started in 1939, and the 2N started in 1942. The 8N ran from 1948 to 1952. So with a 2N or 9N rear and front wheels, and an 8N engine block, I'm guessing someone swapped engines? I see it has the Sherman over/under drive, which is pretty uncommon, so no matter which it originally was, I'd say a guy got a darn good tractor! My guess is a 2n swapped with a 8N engine. Keep up the great videos. By far the best channel on youtube right now!

I got a 1952 8N tractor that I keep outside, and tarp over to keep rain and snow off it. When I crank it up in the dead of winter in Michigan, it starts like it has electronic ignition, but it doesn't. I does have a 12 volt system though. I have the exact 6 foot slider type snow plow that you pull behind. I bought it new, and the salesman said it's made in Italy. I wax the blade to get the snow to not stick to it. I don't have a front bucket though. If the snow gets too high, I abandon the tractor, and get out the Sears Craftsman snow thrower. Now that maching can handle a 24 inch depth of snow whereas the Ford tractor cannot with just a pull behind blade. But we also have the capability to rotate the blade 180 degrees, and push snow out of the way by just driving bachwards.

The straps are easy! - Roll it into a tight little roll with the center about the size of your hand. - Roll it until theres a foot or two of slack left. _More if your load is far away from your ratchet, and you plan on tucking the strap into your load._ - Pull the slack through the center of your donut, _twice._ - It'll tire itself nice and neat, and easy to undo. Then you take your step donut and tuck it somewhere neat, flatten it out, jam it somewhere on your load. Also, they're more expensive, but they sell self rolling ratchet straps. Worth it though!

Love your vid of the Ford 9N, actually all your vids that I have seen are great! I used to have a Ford NAA tractor. It was the love child of the 8N and 9N. As soon as I used it for plowing the garden, all of a 30' run, I hit a submerged fence post and broke the ring and pinion. It took me most of the summer working weekends on it to get it fixed. As far as I know it is still running and was a fine tractor. Two things to mention. 1) be careful if you use the PTO with a device that has kinetic energy built up from running as when you go to stop you won't be able too because the kinetic energy from your device will back feed into the PTO and keep you moving. Get a free running clutch for your PTO. 2) My NAA it had a positive ground for the electrical. It looks as though yours have been changed. Also try running the choke closed a hair and you won't have the stalling problem. Have Fun...

A little water going into a hot engine flashes to steam, cools the internals, frees up the carbon deposits, and makes more power. They do it intentionally in high performance diesels for race applications. It's not the best for the fuel system and carb itself, and too much will corrode the cylinders, but since he mixed in some HEET in there, the methanol will scavenge up the water and it'll pass right on through.

yeah, these old gals drank anything you put in em. as long as she has some time in the tank she will run. we normally at the end of whatever season put the snowmobile, lawn mower, whatever fuel into my old 57 and she drinks it all XD.

Gotta remember, those were designed to plow in fairly warm weather. Use a block warmer.

Good to see a guy's projects go like mine whenever I get to spinning the old wrenchalator on my junk in all my free times.

Those old tractors are bulletproof! Good buy

I use electrical tape to bunch up the extra strap. It's cheap and effective. Stays on nice, but it's easy enough to pull apart without using a knife near your tender straps. The irony is that I do electrical work, so I'm surrounded by electrical tape, but it was a truck driver from Tennessee who told me I should do it that way. He was right.

How many people do you know who love their work? That is what I’m learning; your work should be your passion.

"I suppose I should at least check on [the oil] a bit... [wiggles fingers in front the dipstick]... Yep thats good." I can't stop laughing. This guy kills me.

This has to be the most detailed and intensive walkaround ever done on VGG. No stone left unturned.

[@AmateurMechanicing]

Looked more like gas

If you lose traction on any of the old fords just raise the rear hydraulics up a touch. Doesn’t take much, but puts more weight on the rear tires instead of your plow or whatever you’re running sitting straight on the ground taking weight off the tires. I have a ‘58 801 power master that’s been in my family since it was new! Have to do that frequently when brush hogging with her.
