My great grandma wanted a tractor for their house because she was tired of working the land by hand, and so my great grandpa sold one of his service stations in 1954 to buy a 1949 8N. My great grandma returned the favor the next year by "saving up 2 months of grocery money" to buy my grandpa a 94 winchester to go hunting with his buddies. These old fords make me smile whenever I see one, and I'm so glad to watch you work on one.

@oldasrocks9121 not a whole lot, just stuff they grew and canned. Going to the grocery store for them was more for ingredients and spices like salt, pepper, and flour. They grew most of their fruits and veggies and raised all their meat.

75 yo Canadian man here, who grew up on a mixed fruit orchard in a small town in the Okanagan Valley. My uncle owned a 20 acre orchard, my parents 10 acres, my maternal grandmother 5 acres, all neighbouring each other. My uncle Don was a mining engineer who took a job in the mid-1950s with the then-new Inland Natural Gas company that was bringing gas to the Valley, and my dad left his job at a local packinghouse to operate all the orchards while Don was away. I was 9 ~10 [?] years old when I was first allowed to drive my uncle's Ford 8N, and it was my favourite power plant for general hauling, rototilling, spraying & mowing until I left home at age 17 to study physics at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver in the fall of 1965. Hearing this 8N running again brought memories to my mind & tears to my eyes. Thank you, VGG...

He ALWAYS dressed just like you in this video, and he was about your size. Seeing you kneeling beside that front tire actually made me shed a tear for the Ole man.

One of life's little pleasures: Gettin' on an old tractor, and hoggin' till the sun goes down. Beer somehow tastes even better after that.

I ain't gonna lie, I got a little misty when that old Ford fired up. My PeePaw (Grandfather) had a 9N he bought second hand after he came home from Korea. He lost an arm over there, but didn't keep that man from doing anything. I've got it now, it's never been out of Tennessee. It's probably only worth 1000 bucks or so, but i wouldn't take a Million for it. I fire it up every so often and take it for a ride through the hay field. Thanks for the trip to a great time of my life with my PeePaw. Love you brother.

When I was a young boy in the 60’s I used to ride on the fender of my grandpas 8N all over his farm. As I grew I had to switch to riding on the 3 point hitch holding onto the back of grandpas seat! On Halloween he took all of us grandkids into town on a hay wagon to trick or treat. I didn’t know much about tractors then but I knew my grandpa was a hard working man and expected the same out of all of his equipment and that tractor NEVER failed to do whatever he asked of it. The sound of that engine brings back fond memories!

Personally Derek, I really enjoy the Tractor revivals! Maybe more than the old vintage car revivals ... nope, probably not. Anywho, I'm always impressed with your knowledge of vintage tractors and look forward to more tractor revivals! Just keep being you!!

Very nice looking tractor, rescued 39 9n from field years ago for 800 bucks was great spraying tractor. Updraft carbs were cast iron so jets plug if it sits, put calcium in front tires to assist with heavy tools,

Crossover episode between Garage and Lodge? I'm here for it. Love seeing you get old stuff running and love seeing you working on the property.

A fellers evening is now complete. Another round of wobble pops. Thank you Derek, you've been busy with the posting this week, much appreciated. Wishing a great weekend for you and yours.

Lots of memories of riding on my Grandfather's 8N, desperately clinging to the fender while standing next to him as he bounced us down dirt roads in top gear, fearing for my young life. ;) His (now my Dad's) had a bucket on the front and was used for everything from snow removal to moving logs around for firewood. It even dug the foundation for the house my Dad now lives in. Not a Ford fan but I'm a fan of that tractor. ;)

You revving up the weed wacker in the end was definitely necessary lol

Your vids are so therapeutic for me. My old neighbor used to rebuild/refurbish these old work horses for fun! I thought he was a crazy old man and now I strive to be just like him!! If only I had know then what I know now!

Derek, you sounded like Bob Ross during your “I know I’m blessed” moment 😂 took me back. Thank you Derek and family for all these amazing videos!

My Grandfather had a 9n, rode around on that thing when I was a kid and mowed his field with it, I loved hearing the sound of that tractor again.

Those are great little tractors. Sometime you should show how easy it is to adjust the front and rear wheels for multi purposes.

Them old 8 and 9n's are absolutely indestructible. 2n as well!!!

Those are the greatest tractors ever made, super simple, super reliable, easy to use and extremely forgiving. First tractor I ever learned to use

I have a ford 2000 and they are such good tractors. Ford 8n 9n and 600 all have proved to be great old tractors. Thanks again for your channel. Good people deserve great things.

THIS is the CLASSIC style of VGG that I've enjoyed for many years! My dad had a '48 8N which forged many fond memories for me.

Man, I can still smell the butane exhaust of Grandad's 8N just watching this. When I was little little, he'd run around the farm on it and let me drive. Then about 4th grade, dad decided that I was big enough (aka could reach the pedals) to start helping out so that became my tractor. Couldn't do the same jobs as the big tractors, but I could pull a hay rake or trailers with it.

Another awesome Friday night! Whoohoo!

My grandpa used a 1941 ford 9n for mowing most of his property. Every time he was done, he’d come in and ask 3 year old me if I wanted to help him put it away. I’m getting around to fixing it up for him so we can keep mowing with it.

Derek, this is some of the best content on you tube. When everything is falling apart in the world, this little 8N, which was the first tractor I ever drove, takes me back to when I was 12 years old without a care in the world and eases my worried mind. Thank you for reminding me that it's the little things that matter, God bless you.

Not many a folk know the feeling you get in your heart when your tractor that's been sitting for years starts up and purrs.

Got my own 8N just recently, I'm doing a complete rebuild with all new parts from steiner tractor. I want my grandkids to be able to use it long after I'm gone.

Well what a co-inky-dink! A guy was out in the boat shed messin round cleaning the carbs on the floaty thing and decided to see if the ole '48 8N thats also parked there would fire up.... Yep, thanks to a 12 volt conversion and a Pertronix Ignitor kit. A guy can testify that those kits make life with a front mount distributer MUCH more gooder. Then i come in, kick off the earth pounders, crack a cold snack, and find this vidja. Shoulda had an Old Milwaukee, cause it doesnt get better than this! Thanks for your hard work Derek.

My dad had this exact make, mode, and year tractor when I was a kid. One of my biggest thrills was when I was old enough to drive it and mow a couple fields that we owned. Thanks for some great memories. Haven't heard that engine run in years.

I heard it too, but only once at the end. If it was singing more than that, I'll just blame it on my old abused eardrums and..OOH, SQUIRREL!... my inattention.😁

Suggestion, raise the 3pt hitch so the front of the cutter isn’t dragging and digging. Also, engage the PTO at idle. It is less of a shock to the mower and the tractor. When cutting, up the RPMs to over 2000. I think you will find that the cutter can co what you need and it will be steerable because the cutter isn’t dragging. We had a Ford 600 which was their next generation. These are good machines and will get the job dove for you. We miss our old tractor. It was fun

I grew up on Grandpa's 8N. All the sounds are exactly what I remember. The clutch pedal clanking on the running board, the starter whirring down when it fired but didn't start, the throttle lever scraping on the dash plate, etc. There's a little lever under the right side of the seat that selects draft control or position control. If it's in draft control, it might be the cause of the 'hog diving.
