Fun fact. In 1989 Funk Manufacturing was acquired by Deere & Co. It’s now known as the John Deere Coffeyville Works.

My dad did a 300 inline 6 conversion

That would be awesome to see pictures of

What a beauty Mr. Ray Dias has there, certainly a gem of a tractor. Thanks for sharing and I hope you all have a wonderful week.

Its not a v-6 engine, it’s an inline 6 engine.

I think a V-6 3 litre engine would be perfect in there. Our neighbour had one with straight 6, took rear ends out. They have no bull gears just big pinion gear & it would twist them off. Thanks I am from Ontario. Gas up here is 1.60/litre X 4.54 +

Grew up on old ford's. Been great to had one of those. I've never saw a funk before. Great video

First time I've heard about the Funk Ford. Looks like a good tractor. Thank you for sharing this!

We love our 1948 Ford 8n (family owned on our property since new) and 1957 Workmaster. Both great old Ford tractors. We’ve made lots of videos on our channel of using them to maintain our homestead. Amazing reliability.

Had a restored 1956 8n. Still have the tool box that bolts under the hood. Also still have the front wheels and 6volt generator system if anyone happens to be looking for these parts.

Thank you for sharing your videos have a wonderful day 👍🌞!!

Should do an Oliver next

Well that's pretty Funky 🤣

I’ve got a 1950 8n with the standard inline 4, and a Hupp auxiliary transmission. It’s a great little tractor! I love seeing all the old tractors still doing work, and being loved!

Thanks for the great video learn something new every day

If I'm not mistaken, the narrator called the OHV Inline 6 a OHV V6.....🤔

Beautiful machine!

They was bad for flipping backward with only the 4 cylinder motor. I can only imagine how much easier it would be to flip it with more power

I saw a better funk sell in larned Kansas at Scott Auctoin last year for only 650$ she was rode hard, but complete.If you can make this with that, I bet you could make that one great if you can find it and buy it. I bet Jim Froetchner over there remember who bought it. I know the flatheads are much less rare .

Thats neat

The last aircraft that Funk produced was an ag plane. They stopped building them in the '70s

Production was moved to California I believe.

I have serial number 5003. Had it up to 35 Mph

another change they made was to lengthen the hood.

thats not a V6 its a inline 6 big difference

it's not a V6 it is an inline 6. Whoever is the narrator, or script writer is clueless when it comes to power plants.
