I hope some day this old tractor will run again | 1922 Fordson F

[@bonzaibarty]

Beautiful tractor, I hope you get it running!

[@OzziesOddities]

Thank you. We haven't yet. Been busy outside and fixed up a Farmall H. They're a lot easier.

[@clayfree7428]

Just found your channel. This is the kinda stuff I enjoy watching!

[@OzziesOddities]

Thank you, sorry we're a little on and off but sure appreciate the encouragement.

[@danrowlen7247]

Never Give Up!

[@OzziesOddities]

Thanks Dan. Sometimes it takes a few decades but we keep trying.

[@williamchristopher1560]

Been workin on a tractor myself. The Gov on my 40 B Farmall. I replaced the coil and condenser in the mag, but now im in the back end of that lol. Bought around / over $100 dollars of garden seed. Havnt got my taters slips or strawberry plants yet. They say theyl send them later. Have had days of hi lacious wind here, then totally still. Got a good rain last night and today. Macys laid me off 2 weeks ago Thurs, and I think ill set out the winter here

[@OzziesOddities]

Well it sounds like you're ready for spring! I got a farmall in the shop too, giving me a few fits, but it's coming.

[@backachershomestead]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to the Ozzie family!! Hope everyone is doing well. Miss the videos.

[@OzziesOddities]

Well we got caught up in life outside of youtube again. Hope you've recovered well and that spring is treating you alright.

[@backachershomestead]

@OzziesOddities My wife said I'm beyond recovery. Lol. But doing good here. Recently bought another 5 acres with a small cabin across the road from us. Not like we really needed it.

[@ottisthomas2490]

I just found you love your videos!

[@OzziesOddities]

Glad you did. We appreciate it.

[@robertmarino2158]

Amazing what you have , congratulations , enjoy , stay safe & have fun !

[@OzziesOddities]

Thank you! Will do!

[@OldeCountryHomesteading]

Hi, Ozzie! I hope you, and The family are well! Just wanted to drop by, and leave ya this message, We aint heard a peep from ya for a while! Hope everything is okay! Take care buddy!

[@OzziesOddities]

Thanks for the note! All is well here. We have lots of footage. Very busy with some shed repairs and work around the place and other things going on. But we're documenting the gardening and the oddities and not giving up. How's the Fergie running?

[@fastsetinthewest]

Don't disappear.

We're here, we're here. editing away!

@@OzziesOddities Thanks for a reply to a fantastic comment.

I know nothing of a 1922 Fordson f .I take that back, While I know 1 thing. That Fordson is a different company that ford tractors are. They got to keep the name because I think they started a tractor Co. just before Henry did. and The guys name is the same or something like that. Glad to hear you have a cool old tractor> I always think of the green acres show . I look forward to your tractor and garden and assorted subjects you go to the hassle of videoing. I still thk you for turning me on to the MM ZAU or ZBU or what ever one you have. I finally seen some come up for saleI guess it's like a car . You don't see others until you own that particular model yourself. their was one "Z", needed paint engine locked and all 4tires bad$500 or another looked good all the way around, just didn't run at the time $1500. So there out there. Probably because it's Spring.I guess it means you should always have money for collector tractors saved up. & truck & trl ready to go! LOL

[@OzziesOddities]

Sorry it's been some time, but thanks for the kind note. Most of the tractors I've bought myself aren't usually running but I love it when the engine is free. Some times if you're just using them to tool around, you won't even have to go inside the engine at all. It's hard to find MM for $500 though isn't it? I don't like pulling with the old ford so I really don't have a truck and trailer handy. That's probably good because otherwise I'd be bringing home all kinds of junk.

[@backachershomestead]

Hello Ozzie and family! Hope everyone is doing well. We've been working on garden. Only taters and cabbage in so far. Had a freeze couple nights ago. Fruit trees seem to be ok. Along with the blueberries.

[@OzziesOddities]

Hope you had a good season. We got a garden in and tomatoes did pretty good here. Extremely dry for us this year but there were still some bright spots. How'd your potatos do? Ours are looking pretty good. Digging soon.

[@backachershomestead]

@OzziesOddities potatoes did well ,green beans did fair. Was really wet early,then we've been extremely dry. Around us has had more rain. But summer garden is finished. Time for turnips,beets, and radishes. It's almost like fall weather right now. We'll take that for the rest of the year. Lol

[@backachershomestead]

Ran across some more Fordson videos by Dug in Virginia. 1924&1926. One is on the battery box. Not sure if there close to what your tractor is. You may have already seen them. Have a great day Ozzie and family!

[@OzziesOddities]

Haven't seen those yet I don't think! Thank you. Hope it was a good Feb for you at your place!

[@backachershomestead]

@@OzziesOddities Yes,just a little damp.

[@williamchristopher1560]

U said that farmers where happy once it came available due to its low price. I think it was more like the Happy Farmer Tractor. Farmers thought they were happy when they bought it, and knew they were happy when they got shed of it lol

[@OzziesOddities]

That might be just as accurate. haha

[@backachershomestead]

Missed the notification on this video! I myself am have tractor issues over the winter. 8n distributor is wore out. Next to fix. And it appears to be a bad cam lobe on the jubilee. Just my luck. Guess my rule of 2 failed me. I guess I better get more tractors.

[@OzziesOddities]

Haha, the only absolute in old tractors is law of perpetual repair. After you work on those Fords for a couple decades, you'll know them like an old friend, and they'll be much easier to fix. The JDs and the Molines have been with me long enough now that I know they're going to get moody but they're not intimidating to work on. The Fordson, and the Hart Parr and even the Ferguson are still exotic to me. We just don't know each other quite well enough yet. It's a good thing youtube is out there to give us a big head start.

[@mikeechols5103]

Think about the man that bought that tractor new, Probably thought he was in "hog heaven" ! Didn't have to feed it unless he was working it , Hang in there ole man. Enjoy your vids. You seem to be an honest person!

[@OzziesOddities]

I do think about that. Sure would have been interesting to know just what those farmers thought back then. Thanks for the kind words and for sticking with us.

[@markhodnett588]

I’m sure you have already tried, but make sure first by using a tester that the mag is making spark when it is supposed to when you are turning it over. I had to turn the mag 90degrees on little hired man, of my father-in-laws, that I got running. Loving your stuff!!

[@OzziesOddities]

Hmm you're getting me thinking. I'll keep working on it and report back.

[@williamchristopher1560]

May be like my B Farmall. U check the mag? Coil/condenser, and points may be bad. My adopted grandpa across the road from us, ( looked just like my dad). Go figger lol. Anyway, once he told my bro and me, that as a kid he went to work for this rich big farmer who had already a few hired hands. They all took the horse/mule teams, leaving grandpa Adolph the Fordson. He said all the hired hands laughed at him from the onset, and he soon found out why. After he had been going awhile the heat generated up out of the rear end and into the seat of it, and then into his seat. That and constantly having to replenish the radiator of water. He only drove it that once, He said he went out west once to harvest wheat. They put him on a header that steered from the rear by a tiller the driver kept between his legs. Said it like to beat his knees to pieces lol

[@OzziesOddities]

Some of this old stuff sure presented it's own problems to the operator that's a good point. If I ever get it going I'll let you know how it drives, and maybe I'll know what your Grandpa cross the road was talking about.

[@backachershomestead]

Ozzie. Jennings motor sports has a video on a 22 Fordson they that was sitting for long time. Had to do alot of electric work on it. Might help you.

[@OzziesOddities]

I just saw that one! Boy did that young fella make it look easy. I might have to watch it again but I saw the battery there on the chair, but I'm still night quite sure how he rigged it up to spark. Thanks for catching that. Maybe another look and it'll come together in my mind.

[@williamchristopher1560]

IF I rememvber right, that black box is the coil box. Dont know whats all in it, But its known somehow to collect dirt and muc and that would put it outa commission. Ive heard where farmers wrapped a rope around the pulley, to a horse, and somehow the rope got caught in something and ripped the harness off the horse lol

[@OzziesOddities]

That's interesting. Yep that's the coil box. I need to understand the electrical on here as well as all these other fellows on youtube seem to know it.

[@williamchristopher1560]

Ive got both those wrenches, but the adjustable one has a RR logo on the handle and the other one is for taking the hub caps of grandads CC Case. I keep the adjustable wrench on the H with the hole in the handle going around the PTO rod. Turned right it lays perfectly on the floor board. Turned wrong, it dosent. I had to open the ring on the PTO handle a tiny bit to accept the hole in the wrench

[@OzziesOddities]

Found those old tools a good use then!

[@munchkin5674]

I just discovered your wonderful channel, but see that the last video you made was 8 months ago. Please tell me you haven’t stopped making videos?

[@OzziesOddities]

Well we have been recording, but my son edits and he's backlogged. There will be more to come, as time allows. Thanks for your interest and kind words.

[@munchkin5674]

@@OzziesOddities Thanks!!

[@gregorycross612]

Maybe a bit early since I am ahead of premier..... I had a tiny bit of rust bridge a gap via a rivit on the phoenolic board in a distributor that kicked my tail for months! I finally disected the distributor and flipped the points mounting board over..... 🤦‍♂️

[@OzziesOddities]

I'll have to study that, thanks! You have a Fordson?

[@gregorycross612]

My short issue was on a Case 400. I have 2 Ford 2Ns, an Ford 801, 1927 model T, and 1929 model A? I need to make room in the shop and start working on them!
