So cool to see Dad and daughter working together. Great job! Love the content too!!

I am sooooo impressed by this young woman.

She doesn’t get full of grease and oil. Dad has been a great teacher..... fun to watch...

Definitely a daughter a father can be proud of ❤

I know these videos are always high quality and punch the like button before even watching.

Hi! This is the first Ford tractor model that my grandfather bought for his farm, and its a very nice tractor and works a lot with sugar cane plantation! Good memories!!!!!!!! Thanks !!!

It is always a pleasure to watch and listen to someone who not only knows what they are talking about, but can do the work. Great job

I so can't wait to show my nieces some of the videos you have! They enjoy working on cars and trucks with me, but are under the impression that being a mechanic is for boys only!?!? I can't wait to show them a pretty young lady can be a great mechanic. Teaching my 11yr old nieces that they can do anything boys do and probably better has been a goal of mine who thank you for helping prove that true!

What a coincidence...me and my wife bought a 9.5 acre property. And I found a 9n without compression. This video is great. Thank you. I subscribed

What a great and well-explained video for this topic. I would have never expected to find a video for this entire topic. Now I’m ready to rebuild our old 9N!

Compliments to the very nice lady narrating the whole process very interesting watching step-by-step with highlight safety comments along the way. I have three Ford tractors one 1956…. 850 and two 1957 850s. I am 73 years old and I have driven the 1956 850 that my father purchased new since I was eight years old. It was rebuilt in 1996 and is running just fine today.😊🥰👍

Good vid guys. These tutorials are really helpful for those of us who have good basic mechanical knowledge, but need a little guidance on the bigger jobs. I like how you include some of the mistakes, like when Rachel left the bolt in the governor housing. We all do shit like that.

Having are good dad is so wonderful

A first-class instruction video Rachel. Clear, precise instructions. Well done.

What? Went looking for vid #2, then realized that this installment was only 13 hours old. I'm on pins and needles. Wonderful stuff.

Me too 🤣

Always a pleasure watching you guys work on a tractor.

Your videos are the Most educational tractor Repair videos I have ever seen, Your dad must be proud, Pet, I know I am very impressed. Thank you for all the content new post.

Extremely well done Instructional videos. Very impressive.

How serendipitous, I am currently rebuilding my Ford, 2/8N Franken-Ford.

Just became the proud owner of a 8n in great condition but has the infamous stuck clutch. Will be glued to this Channel for a long time. Thank you Rachel and Dan for the wealth of information 🙏 ....oh P.S. noticed you draining antifreeze and getting it all over your hand. Grease and oil is fun but coolant is another matter. Antifreeze even in low quantities will cause renal failure. Your skin will absorb it through pores and especially if there are any small cuts in your skin. Please stay safe.

Hi Rachel I always enjoy your videos

Your videos are amazing! Short, sweet, quick to the point and yet still filled with all the information needed. Wish more how to videos were like yours. Trying to decide between a farmall cub or an 8n 🤔 for my first.

I haven't been on a Ford 8N since the summer of 1966 working in my parents' orchard in the Canadian Okanagan Valley, before heading back to Vancouver BC for second-year university. The 8N is a very simple machine of clever design, easy to use, easy to maintain, but underpowered by modern standards & a bit of a gas-guzzler. Both my brother & sister inherited the fruit-growing bug, but migrated to diesel John Deere machines in the early 1970s. Those machines are still working well after almost 50 years, albeit with a few relatively major rebuilds {hydraulic subsystems, PTO clutches, etc}. Thankfully they don't have any on-board computers - no "right-to-repair" issues!

YES!! Thank you! Love your channel and your website!

Starting this weekend my son and I will be doing this on a 1939 9n. Fantastic videos.

I agree with the .001 per inch diameter clearance. Watching you guys is like going back and working with my dad. Same generation of Craftsman tools especially the cotter pin removal tool that we used on anything but cotter pins. LOL.

Great video. I worked on a few motors. I am amazed you were able to do all that work without getting covered in oil. I must be a magnet.

Love you all. And i love your videos and i have no tractors . ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤍💯

Nice seeing dad passing on his knowledge to his girl. She definitely doesnt need a man around to show her how to work on stuff

I hit like as soon as I started watching a young lady with interest in a Ford N restoration, and it only got better from there.

Excellent. Thanks for all your videos.

Thank you for this, as always.. Amazing.

Hi worked as a plant fitter for many years in England, we would never never use pry bar's or screw when removing the head,just a good block of oak and a hammer, then no damage is done.Liam kilkee Clare Ireland.😘

Really enjoy you all’s content

Long time fan... you both know how to tear down an engine! Lol Keep up the great work.

Excellent presentation!

Good job lots of good information very helpful. Thanks!!

Super useful it shows a lot of good steps for this flat head engine

Great video very informative thank you for sharing

Good job . Someone tought you well . I know too many men that don't know half as much as you about mechanics.

Very informative video. I’ve always wanted to restore one of these old tractors

She is briliant and she knows all about this things... i m charmed by her so much...

Fun with dad. Always good content and good knowledge.

I'm impressed young lady...this is fantastic 😊

This is fantastic, thank you!

Love these videos

Great video. I can’t wait for you to start working on Case tractors;)

Excellent video guys

I sure enjoyed the video thank you

Rachel, You are very great master.. 💝

That engine reminds me a lot of the L134 in my 48 cj2a. Thanks for the nice video, got some good tips from it.

My 9N needs this bad!

my great grandpa farmed with a 8n ford. Tough reliable old tractor

Love these videos. Just wish it wasn’t sped up as I’d rather see a long in-depth video than a short one since so many parts of the process. Just a thought but thank you 😁

good video thank you

thank you !!!

I wish you guys would do a tutorial on setting throttle and governor linkage. Sure would be helpful.

Thanks you Tractor explain good information Always respectively good information^^♥ This is south Korea Yellow land farm

I found out about using over sized pistons the hard way. To make it a bit easier to extract the sleeves we would run a few beads of weld the length of the sleeve. When it cools it shrinks the sleeves slightly. I did just that only to discover the block wasn't sleeved.

Great visep

I love watching people rebuild engines. Looking forward to the next three (3) parts of this series.

The 'dad' commented the lifters had been change to the adjustable kind. That entire valve assembly and adjustable lifter had been used by Ford since at least 1937, in the flathead V8. Your tractor is a lot newer than 1937. I assisted with the rebuild of my granddads 1952 8N in years past, I'm 75 now, and it also had the same adjustable lifter. The guy I was helping didn't take the C-clips out to remove the valve assembly instead, he compressed the valve springs and removed the keepers off the valve stem. What a mess that was!

Learned alot from you. Would like a video to replace front oil seal. Thank you

Excellent video as always THANKS !!!!

New subscribed from Somalia

Some important notes that missed. 1. Part where you block the tractor for pulling the front axle. I would strongly recommend that you also chalk/block both rear tires. Because your pulling the motor leaving it in gear may not be enough to keep things from moving if some big dummy happens to lean on the tire.

Odd.... The infamous flat head V8 ford used to make also has only three main bearings. I never considered getting an 8N but after working on my friend's 8N and seeing your videos, I am finding this a really cool little tractor.

Good Job mam thanks👍🇮🇳🚜🚜😁😁

We had an 8N when I was growing up. It had been modified by Ford, to use a flat head 6 cylinder engine. Adapter piece for the engine to transmission was about4 inches thick, and steering gear, stabilizer bars were extended with added pieces that were included in kit. The hood also had an extra extension on it, so it covered back to the steering assembly. I haven't seen any of them on here at all. Wondering if they are still around.

Rachel: We're gonna gently pry this front cover off! Rachel's Dad: beats screwdriver with hammer

Had that problem with my 48 8N. went to change the oil and the pickup tube fell off. Used JB weld to put it back on. Works perfect now.

I have a tape of Dan and Guy doing a 8N,9N,and2N overhaul about twenty years ago.

Wow my. Kind of girl soo much knowledge 👍👍👍👍👍👍

My 8N has excellent oil pressure 20-40lbs depending on temperature and rpm, but it’s a real oil burner. However, it runs very well and has decent power. I was thinking it may be the rings and purchased a compression tester. Just haven’t had time to tackle it yet, but I’d love to rebuild it.

Rachel around the tie rod on to the stables are so that the wheels do not turn and that way you could roll it wherever you want to roll it to

Rachel my phone screwed up I said I always get a hose clamp and put it around the tie rod and the stay brace that way the wheels will stay where you put them and you can push it wherever you want otherwise they'll just flop around and you won't be able to move it very easily as you know unless you have a cherry picker and pick the axle up

Please make content for governor compensation spring.

Wish KZread was around back in 1974 when I rebuilt my 8n

The precision engine tech in me is screaming. I had to continuously remind myself that this is a 1940s/50s tractor. 😂

I am not the only one who uses a Craftsman screwdriver prybar!

Hi Rachel. Yet another awesome video. Thank you. Was wondering if you had any suggestions on a problem I am having with a fully rebuilt 1964 Ford 4000 Diesel? I am getting diesel in the engine oil causing smoke among other things. The injector pump is brand new and not apparently the problem as it has been tested. Any ideas? Thanks so much!

We just moved to Goodrich, MI, and have a small farm off Dutch Road. We stopped by the Steiner store in Lennon, Mi, and boy were we disappointed in the rudeness of its sales staff. My husband took a picture of me sitting in the store and the sales clerk said there's no taking photos inside the store! He further went on to say they signed legal documentation to prevent photos from being taken. We were berated and made to feel shame... (We won't be going back there again, and they should have a sign that says no cameras allowed!). Shame on Steiner ...

It's my first time watching your channel, but something tells me you're from up north..

Very nice demo. Just have a couple questions. Can I eliminate the sleeves all together? How much can you bore the motor. Want to make more horse power for a vintage racer.

Would you have a video on repairing brakes on a 38/39 F14 Farmall

I have an oil pan leak on my 1949 8 n! Can I change gasket and oil pump without splitting the tractor? 7:54

I have a Massey Ferguson 35 with a three cylinder perkins diesel.If I want to replace rings , can I leave the block in the frame and drop the pan?

ILOVE YOU I M TRACTOR MECHANIC

How do you stay so clean doing this? I'd have grease and oil from head to toe.

got a problem with my 9n- put new distributer on- started right up- next morning would not start again and found the new distributer had locked -will not turn so the points can open and close how do I fix this?

I have a ford jubilee. With high and low range. I haven't seen a replica yet that has the same shifting pattern as mine

So I'm replacing the drive shaft for the hydraulic pump on my 63 Ford tractor and I decided to take a look under the valve cover and have discovered I'm missing a pushrod and now I'm thinking a rebuild kit would be smart

Is there a video showing how to remove the oil pan without removing the front end of the 8n?

👍🏻

Is that just a standard puller ypu use for the puck to pull the sleeves?
