    I have three old Forn 8N tractors, and one 1953 NAA Golden Jubilee (Similar to the 8N, but with an OHV engine vs the flathead). The NAA works almost every day here on the farm. Amazing that a 69 year old piece of equipment is still going strong, and modern equipment breaks down quite often.

    @@insanity-vr6vu Of course, complexity is the enemy of reliability. But even the quality of materials used was far superior back then. These tractors spent around 70 years outside in all kinds of weather, and the only rust is some very minor surface rust that can be literally washed off! Modern materials wouldn't last a decade or two!

    I learned to drive on one of these.....10 years old......I loved it....but the clutch/brake..... I say brake in jest of course...it would eventually slow down if I stood on the breaky thingy with my whole 10 year old weight......I graduated to a 1940's I think....Fordson Major which was sheer luxury.......yours I notice didn't have the wheel strakes fitted.....with them sticking down it would pull all sorts of implements through mud that the Fordson major would balk at.
