Those old Ford tractors will live forever. I had one and they are great for light work.

[@gazoo-pl4nx]

thats when they built stuff to last

[@RickReynolds-p5u]

OH and your universal joint at the PTO connection is pretty well shot, get a new universal in there before that comes completely apart. Put some oil on the push button lock for the PTO and some grease on all the moving parts, slip shaft and universal joint.

[@LarryO777]

65 years ago, I bush-hogged with an 8N Ford. What I remember most, was the power takeoff was live, You could clutch it and the mower would keep pushing the tractor! After the mower pushed me through a bob wire fence at the end of the field, i learned to kick it out of gear and then try to brake. Memories!

[@georgehandel5908]

Using a PTO "Overrunning coupler" (less than $50) will eliminate the dangerous mower pushing the tractor issue.

[@anthonyblalock1790]

The jubilee didn’t push you anywhere the 8 n you are correct nice to see a lady using a tractor

[@markgerdes6440]

That is the opposite of what a "live" pto is.

They have adapters to prevent this now Tractor supply has them.

[@rrrusted2883]

So nice to see this young couple working together as a team.

[@316jd140]

Ford tractors do have a neutral safety switch that will not allow you to start the tractor unless you put the tractor in neutral. It will be a push button switch in front of the gear shift that has a mechanical device that will not allow you to push it all the way if the tractor's in gear. Unfortunately most of these were bypass by owners with a switch on a dash.

[@RickReynolds-p5u]

Yes, great safety feature and ours was NOT bypassed. It's a good thing because 12 year old me was standing in front of the rear tire, tractor in gear and my not so bright self pushing on the starter button wondering why it wouldn't crank... not my brightest moment.

[@eulasfoster4730]

You need to put a overrun between the pto shaft on tractor and equipment drive shaft

[@diggerdog9096]

I don't remember but on one of my fords I had to use an override clutch on the PTO. If you didn't have it the brush hog if still moving would push the tractor even with the clutch in I. Love brush hog work. Enjoy.

[@josephkitchel6259]

Nothing more relaxing and enjoyable than bushhogging. You can see what you have done_good work!

[@barryhunt5357]

You have to have an overrun clutch, or the cutter will push the tractor. great video!!! Great tractor, I worked at a Ford and Forn New Holland dealer for 20 years.

[@wallacefarmandsawmill]

That’s awesome! Bet you have seen many tractors!

[@gretafields4706]

What do you think about current New Hollands? Are they good like Fords? I need a tractor. Will they pull older bushhogs?

[@barryhunt5357]

If I went to buy a new tractor I'd buy the Kubota, they are tough, keep in mind people can destroy any brand, before Fiat bought Ford New Holland Kubota was going to be the owner, Deeres gotten sideways, I hope this helps and good luck!

[@Rooster52]

Hey Tyler and Brittany, you guys are doing a great job... always enjoy your videos. Tyler I've done very similar things as you do for over 50yrs. I have a nice little "Z" scar from a twistaflex watch band (45yrs ago) on my left wrist from an alternator positive to something... and a permanent ring scar (25yrs ago) when my wedding band caught on a ladder bracket after I finished strapping to my truck rack, jumped down and if it hadn't been for my tip toes touching the ground, I fear my finger would be gone. The ring went right to the bone and is now shape like a pear. The ring now hangs on a nail. Jewelry and working men don't go together! It only takes a split second when these accidents happen. My thoughts.

[@TurkeyFootKS]

I'd recommend an overrunning clutch and shields on your PTO shaft.

[@JimHerman-o3q]

Agreed........so he dont get entangled in that PTO with his ring on his finger !!! Plain foolish to wear a ring on the farm !

[@atlucas1]

@@JimHerman-o3q Foolish to step on the back of a live moving brush hog with an open PTO shaft. One wrong bump, one gopher hole you didn't see, and you're wrapped before you know it. Lots of farmers died doing normal, not stupid things... no need to invite trouble.

[@JimHerman-o3q]

@@atlucas1 I didnt say anything about the bush hog..... I stated about wearing a ring around the farm.... equipment. At 9:14 in this video......attempting to attach the PTO. He has the PTO in hand.....with the ring on his finger. Keep in mind.........that button thats pressed in to attach the PTO is in his same hand. One slight turn and that button could catch his finger !! Finger.....and him could be gone !!!!

[@dennisbegeman30]

Absolutely need that

[@bobcriss600]

I was an aircraft electrician in the Air Force for 8 years. They were super strict that no one without exception could wear any king of metal jewelry including wedding rings. They had some occasions were the electrician who forgot to remove his wedding ring got fried so badly that his heart exploded! Gold is a very good conductor of electricity! Safe is better than dead!

[@australiantruckspotting8883]

Always good to see old machinery still working.

[@KG-xt4oq]

I get the sentiment about not wanting to ever take your wedding ring off, but what good is a wedding ring if it's on the finger of a dead body? Also, do you think Brit would prefer to have a husband that wears it at all times or a husband that's alive during her lifetime? A ring is just a symbol; I'll get off my soapbox now... Edit: I hope that when I turn 70 I'll have a woman that says, "it's a li'l bumpy, but it's still fun"...😄

[@matthewtaylor2185]

My grandaddy had that same tractor. He was proud of that tractor.. went from horses to that Ford.

[@firstjohn3123]

Mine did too...1st thing he bought after getting rid of the horse...My dad rebuilt it, it went to my uncle in Manheim, Pa...and was later sold in the 1980's...still running somewhere. My uncle had John Deere (3 of them) - the 1st one still had a belt drive wheel on the side! Now THOSE were dangerous...live belts? 😂 Those old Ford's were good, and there was an adapter kit made to put a flathead V8 in it!

[@rogerbutchbouchard8019]

I'm thinking they could be wild Black Eyed Susans.

[@scrambler69-xk3kv]

Always remember positive on first, negative off first. You never want to attach or remove the positive terminal when the negative is attached.

[@BrianHorton1]

That depends on whether or not it's a positve ground vs. negative ground, no?

[@osi2484]

Those old tractors.. will start "in Gear" And go, be careful

[@mlj6419]

That's a great old tractor. Simple, strong and reliable. Good stuff.

[@kencornett4768]

The negative post on a battery is supposed to be smaller than the positive so you can tell the difference between positive and negative negative post is little pause the posters big that's why you're negative post is always smaller

[@James-jx5uc]

Don't think it's got live p.T.O so be careful 🤠

[@JamesMartin-r7r]

PTO is direct drive and will push the tractor with the clutch in

[@evanstauffer4470]

Unless you install an overrunning clutch between the PTO and the brush hog drive shaft - a smart thing to do from a safety standpoint and not terribly expensive.

[@guydaubenspeck9206]

You are completely correct live PTO will have its own clutch or a two-stage clutch on the tractor

Put hay in the field make some money with it

[@wrongway100]

Are you sure that's what's wrong I kind of doubt it

[@rcinsley]

During the summer of 1966 I worked on my college's grounds crew. We had many acres of grass and an old beat-up worn-out Ford tractor + bush hog for the task. The seat was partially rusted out, so we used a feather pillow from one of the dorms to keep the tractor's seat from digging into the driver. I was the only farm boy on the crew, so the boss always put me on the tractor. One afternoon while mowing a rough section at fairly high speed, I hit a bump and bounced up off the seat. The pillow was right behind me. I landed on the seat but the pillow hit the ground...and I bush-hogged it! It looked like a white-out blizzard in July!

[@gretafields4706]

Lol. I hit a giant hornes nest. Looked back and saw a thousand angry bugs.

[@cdevpayne]

At 82 my 51 ford is still going strong. Love that little old tractor. Thanks and stay safe.

[@davidboughman138]

You can turn a battery cable upside down if it won't grip the terminal or get battery shims, which is best to get a good solid full contact

[@JimHerman-o3q]

Not directed toward women......but anyone. A farmer sent his wife out to rake hay... hilly ground. He showed her how to do it. After an hour......his wife called her husband........and said. I just came upon a rake that someone left out here in the field. She asked her husband...what do I do . Point being...... his wife never looked back to see if things were working......or if the rake she was raking with was still behind the tractor !!!!!!! Pay attention whats going on at all times..... bush hogging along with square baling hay requires nearly more time looking back then looking foreword ! After all the person on the hay rack would like to know you know he exists ?? Not just keep baling.......never look back !!!!! This video reminds me of the learning days I went through !

[@JimHerman-o3q]

Never wear any type of " ring " on your finger unless you want that finger to come up missing.....or your own death from being pulled into equipment ! Ive been married for 40 years.... a farmer. the ring stays in the jewelry box !!!!!!

[@dr.michaelr.foreman2170]

We had a 49 Ford tractor back in the mid 50s. I said "had" becaue my older sister filled the gas tank up and forgot to put the gas cap back on. When she started it up, it caught fire. I am 71 now, and I can still remember my sister jumping off the seat, grabbing the pillow she was sitting on and beating the fire out. My dad bought a brand new Masey Ferguson diesel tractor after that little episode.

Throws sandspurs on your back but overall a good setup

[@Bowhunters6go8xz6x]

Yep, always disconnect the grnd wire first during removal and connect it to the battery last !

[@thewayidoit8895]

Adcice if you ever run uneven ground, your top link ahould be flexible. "They" make chain types. That way the rear of the mower can kick up on larger bumps. Saves long term wear and tear.

Without an overriding pto clutch, bush hogging with this tractor could be a real trip if it try’s to push you through a fence or barn Stay safe,

[@flybywire5866]

There is a special grease for these connectors that reduces corrosion and makes them last longer with less resistance.

[@fruitfarmfords8243]

Pretty sure that Ford left the factory without the ability to start in gear and either it's worn out or has been modified to nullify the safety. My 9n and 8n have to be in neutral to start, it has a mechanical interlock between the shifter and start button all under the top cover. Henry didn't like hearing about his tractors killing people and made them as safe as possible for their time. Edit: i have a 54 NAA (same as jubilee) i will see if is button can be pushed in gear. Its new to me, non running at the moment.

[@Tillersweep]

Battery post not fitting. If you have a piece of 1/2" copper you can cut a slot in one side about an inch long. Then cut a 1/2" off the pipe. Now you have an adjustable sleeve that will fit over that skinny battery terminal and the ground clamp will tighten down on that. Won't wiggle off like the clamp that bottomed out on you.

[@donaldwallace7934]

Those u joints are doing a fair amount of wobbling. You might want to check them out, and make sure they are in good shape. You definitely don’t want it flying apart.

[@mikesamson1930]

Nobody I know wears a ring, if they work on electricity, or around moving mechanical equipment. You can get your finger ripped off or electrocuted if it comes in contact with whatever. If your wife loves you or you love yourself, take it off when you are working on that stuff.

[@jimhammer2012]

I've drove those tractors and they're simple as can be. I've seen people put old car tires on the front. Got ta look out for creepy crawlies in the grass...

[@TF856]

The jubilee also known as the NAA doesn't have a two-stage clutch and it needs to have the overrunning clutch on the PTO shaft or else the mower will push the tractor when you try to stop unless you do some fancy clutching. It also did not have low gears unless it had a Sherman transmission installed into the bellhousing. That transmission turned the standard 4 X 1 into a 12 X 3 transmission.

[@stephenherrmann3091]

All I have from my grandfather is his Jubilee. I call bush- hogging "therapy"". You shouldn't be able to push the starter button with the tractor in gear. That is the safety.

[@JohnNaturkach]

Back in the sixties my Dad had four Jubilee’s ,each hooked up to different appliances to do custom plowing (Garden) tilling, hay cutting etc. so that when he came home from his day job he could just jump on his tractors and go. Or myself on one of the others. Before that he more or less got me started on two Massy Harris “ Pony “ tractors. Which I preferred because the mowing machine was underneath the engine which kept your neck looking forward all the time rather than trying to watch what was behind on the Ford. Don’t get me wrong, still love the old Fords. Loved the overdrive in them also from getting to job to job.

[@billyladner3062]

In the mid sixties the federal government would pay you fifteen dollars per acre NOT to plant any row crops. We would bushhog their fields for five dollars per acre and we used a 9n tractor to do that. I noticed Britney putting her thumb inside the steering wheel. That's a nono. If you hit a hole or small hidden stump that steering wheel will spend around and hit your thumb hard. Have fun and stay safe!
