Starting My Fordson

1921 Fordson N made in Cork, Ireland. I purchased 3 from Manitoba, Canada, and restored this one at home in Ontario, took about 2 years.

Nice tractor mate. Just like my 1941 Fordson N - bloody frustrating when she won't start but worth all the effort and magical when she fires. Keep it up. John, England.

[@bogiewheelman71]

my granddad had wanted to buy one of these before he passed away . Glad he didn't after watching how hard these start .

[@mfranzusan3014]

Hi there! Im from Lands End Cornwall and i know some one that has one of these!! And yes its a sod to start up but lovely Nice Job Adam

Try priming the carburetor with just a shot of gas and it will fire the first or second try every time because she is a little cold blooded. That is a awesome piece of machinery you got there dude. Heavy duty it will last a long time it you keep the oil changed looks like it needs a exhaust gasket though from the smoke leaking out at the exhaust manifold.

Good job

They are easier to kick start, Nice restauration though. My father and I are restauring our 1936 Model N. Those fenders av unusual type compared with the normal ones tih toolboxes.

This is a great video. It's encouraging to me in USA Oregon. I am 42 and have been working on my 1920 fordson off and on for twenty years. It's my life long shop project. I need help knowing how/ what the oil splash tube connects to. From the timing gears to the flywheel. It doesn't seem to hook in tight. Any help would be appreciated. Your tractor looks to be in very good condition.

Very nice fordson. It looks alot like the 1927 F I bought for my son, Spencer, when he was only 1 year old. Was the N different from the F in many ways, the tin and engine look quite similar? Ours has a fuel tank stating it was made in england and has an odd magneto "S-something" and the gasoline only manifold and carb. It was found in Ohio at a father and sons farm collection of over 30 fordsons. Cheers on a job well done!

[@regsparkes6507]

It starts with black screen at 5:10 minutes.. Awww I wanted to see that start up. Easy for me to say, isn't it.? You're the chap who worked hard, I'm just sitting puffing and huffing for you. Hahaha. Interesting looking rear fenders,...er that maybe should be 'wings", am I correct ?

[@ericchapman399]

A lot of effort to get this one to run it. We never needed all that effort to start an N as wiry school boys

[@chauss513]

as if by magic!

[@PatrickBaptist]

Seems like this machine is a shoulder killer.

[@john6218att]

I would have towed it by now

[@autoboybv]

А почему передние колёса с такой странной бороздой ? А я видел в наших Советских фильмах про 1920 - 1930 - е г . г . трактора Fordson с шипами на задних колёсах : такие чудища страшные !..
