Girls with tractors make me smile. Good job.

This was great. Tell Dad thank you for raising such competent mechanics. Seriously.

glad to see young people involved with the older equipment. its becoming a lost art. good job!

Thanks for the concern, everyone! It's great to know so many people care. I chose to have my sister help as a safety measure! If something went wrong with the dyno or while it was revved up, she was at the seat of the tractor and able to quickly turn it off if needed--much safer than having an empty operators seat! She's young and quick and was there to make the process more safe! I can even see clearly in video where she double checks to make sure the tractor is in neutral before starting it. My daddy loves his girls and has trained us well in the shop to operate with safety in mind. -Rachel

Rachel, What other modifications did you do to the engine to achieve 32hp on the dyno? That's a very impressive number. Thank you for so many informative videos, I'm looking to purchase my first 8n so I appreciate your family sharing the knowledge.

@M Kasbal I'll second that. It was a good job and an informative video.

Wow! Lots of great useful info here on how maximize the power of these old wonderful tractors. Thanks Gingells!

32hp from an 8n??? WOW,,,,wish i coulda done that with mine back in 1959!!! Thanks again for a great video!!

Great tips. Thank you to all the small farmers for keeping it going.

Thanks for the video ladies ! I just bought a 1940 9N and enjoyed the education that you've given me...

Great Video. Glad to see that younger people are interested in Preserving History.The Ford N series are rock solid Tractors.

Just acquired a 1952 8N and y'alls channel. I love these old tractors and your accent.. 😊

We had a MF four cylinder diesel for many years while I was growing up on the farm. That is until Dad bought a Ford gasoline. Your vid sent me back years to when I helped Dad tune the Ford by doing the very things you've shown here. Thanks for the blast from the past!

So cool, I learned to drive on a Ford Jubilee over 50 years ago. I miss that sweet little tractor. Lately, I'm working on going ahead and buying a tiny piece of land far from town(s) to have a place to work a garden and tend to some animals, but one tool I have to have is another little tractor to help do all the other things I've been thinking that I rather have been doing for so long. It sure was great to hear that tractor. Just what I needed to hear. Thanks!

I learned to rebuild the carb on my ford 640 from one if her videos. So thanks for making and posting!!

I knew nothing about the famous Ford 8N except that I drove one when i was a kid! Sure is fun learning, Thanks!

Great job ladies. Cheers from Down Under.

Thanks Dan and Rachel, your videos has showed me a lot and are very precise, keep up the good work.

Wow great video thanks! Man I LOVE those tractors! We had a 1941 Furgeson Ford 9N and it was part of the family. Thanks again!

Just looking at buying my first tractor. The info here is superb, many thanks.

Interesting lesson, Rachel and Hannah. Blessings to you!

Thanks I just got a 8n and your video was a big help with tuning.

Wow , i have a 1939 9N , ferguson system, i just wanna say im greatful that y'all have done these videos ! Around this area its mostly j.d. and case, but this ford did set the land speed record, i like where i can fit these, anywhere ! T.y. for sharing your knowledge

Awesome job Rachel! Very impressed!!

great advice! u really are smart with these tractors u must of had a good teacher! I always look forward to ur vids and hope u make alot more! Thanks

Great video and, unlike most of KZread today, not so ad heavy as to make it too fragmented to watch. EXCELLENT!

I enjoyed these tips, especially with the governor.

Thanks for the video I don't believe you can adjust the front mounted distributor but you certainly did a good job on this video I have owned, bought and sold these old tractors for 26 years I still have my dad's 47 model wouldn't take a million dollars for it I love to keep mine all original right down to the 6 volt system 😎

We just bought one of these, we are excited to put it to use. 😁

Your the best I love watching/ learning from you Thanks for your time

You and your dad are awesome! I want more HP from my Mustang GT! Can you help with that? ;) I grew up working on a farm and ran many of the tractors you work on. It's fun to see the details of the various repairs and maintenance. Your mechanical knowledge and ability to communicate are extraordinary. The quality of your videos is exceptional. You are a joy to watch and your passion for mechanical tinkering and tractors makes your videos really fun and informative. Great job!

Thanks for all the information sweetheart, your a Ford Tractor fountain of knowledge. You've helped me with many problems. Thank you and your sister

Another great video! I just bought my first tractor (a 1949 8N) and I'm learning tons of stuff from your channel! 😁👍 just subscribed

Another great job Rachel.

Great video I can't wait to do these adjustments on my 9n !!!!!!

I like to see your videos. I learn every time.

Nice informative video, and here I thought you had to put a Ford flathead v8 in one to get more power. lol. Thats a nice old tractor and I think its cool that you work on it yourself.

I never even heard of that before. Im going to try some of those adjustments. Thank you.

My 1950 Ford 8n tractor has front mount distributor which is non-adjustable. The engine compression on these is only 6:1 versus the upgrade in 1952 to the side mount distributor and the increase in compression to the 6.5: 1. Increasing the engine speed from 2200 rmp working speed is a good thought but the points may have to be changed more often. I like that these engines are capable of 30 hp as this allows them to actually be used for other things.

Good to know , Thanks Rachel. You have such nice tractors.

Great video Rachel!

Good enthusiasm shown.

Wow. That Ford tractor your sitting next to looks like the one we had on my father's farm when I was a kid. He bought it in 1948 I think.

Nice job, accurate and informative!

Those tractors will never grow old. Americans work horse for years. Look around many of them are still in use today. A lot of them are bings used by city parks departments as well as hiway crews to cut grass. They might not equal some of the larger machines but they sure have outlast a lot of other tractors. Id love to have one and I dont own a farm. I used to drive them as a kid. I think I could mow pastures with one and plow our street each winter. As well as move some big heavy trees after cutting them down.

I have a old 9N I did all this and more. A few years ago the radiator leaked out over winter and my dad never checked it before taking it out and working it hard. He got it so hot it smoked the paint off the head and lost 2 valve seats plus killed the temp gauge I had added when I restored the tractor years ago. (Doesn't pay attention with shit with equipment and been that way his whole life) During the repair work for that F-up I ported out the block and port matched the manifold to the tractor being the old ports on these engines are full of casting bumps, ridges and sharp edges on top of being way too small to start with. GRanted it may only be worth 3 - 4 HP tops, but when you only got 25 or so to work with, that pretty good percentage of gain!

Super love it these old fords are great a little more power is always good

Great info,thank you ladies.

Darn, I thought I had the only Stewart Warren hand held gauge on the Planet,,,Great info, thx Bear

This shows how respect for this girl is 10 attagirls , excellent information

Nice video, now I wanna go get on my tractor...

Nice video. Found this video as I was watching the 8N carb rebuild video, also great. I have a 52 8n tractor which I love. I also have a 1915 Ford T. The 1915 T has a manual adjust spark advance, and a manual adjust high speed mixture control for the carburetor. But, alas, no governor. It would seem Henry took away these valuable adjustments for this more modern tractor.

Great job! Very informative.

Thanks for posting this informative video. Cheers !

Great job of showing this. I would like to see a complete brake down and repair on a 2N rear brakes and seals I'm having issues trying to get my stuff apart. Thanks for your time girls.

Hi Michael, we do have a very detailed brake tutorial available for purchase, here: farmtractorrepair.com/collections/ford-dvds/products/ford-brake-repair-for-several-models

Thanks for the vid. Nicely presented. I watched it purely for interest in the tractor rather than learn horse power tips as I am a mechanic. Saying thanks to your brother for have you do the vid. No doubt you're prettier than him.

Great video. Did you make any spring changes in the mechanical advance? And how did you come up with that dyno?

A couple of tractor girls. That's pretty cool. I've been living in a big city to long.

How about doing a feature on the dynamometer, it could do with some tidying up (comment from an engine dynamometer operator for many years) ?

Please do a video on replacing the steering gear on a 5000 Ford or similar. Thanks for the videos their big help.

Going to use your technique. What other engine mods have you done ? Sounds really good .

👍Very impressive. Keep up the good work.

I just fell in love.

Rachel I have a 51 Ford 8n, what is the best way to brushog with out losing power everytime?

Just found your channel and subscribed.

32 hp increase is pretty good!! Nice Minni Mo in the back ground

Great work ! 😍

I was hoping to see something about a device in the carburator I found on my 1962 ford 2000. The device appeared to me to be a power redicer because it is placed in the venturi area and would reduce the airflow. I don't have the tractor anymore but I was going to remove it to see what happens. It may have helped with mixing the fuel with the air but it was a large restriction. I believe the power reduction would increase the life of the drive train and that is why they did that or possibly to utilize a carburator that was also used on larger engines by leaving out the restrictor.

thank you for the great videos! I do have a question for you. i've got an 8N that hadn't run in 20+ years. I got it running, but the throttle is really sluggish in it's response and if I put it down to half throttle it just quits running. I haven't figured out why this is the case yet. i've got full range of motion with the carb and the throttle control arm from the governor, but it really doesn't seem to make a difference and when it does affect the RPM it's really slow to do so. any suggestions? I should mention that it's an early model, 1948 with the distributor on the front, not the side like yours.

It's a bit more involved, but they can also be fitted with pistons from the V8 flathead.

Thanks for all the videos, you guys are extremely helpful. I know yall got a proud papa! My 56 Furgeson stalls when I start to use my finishing mower, any ideas?

Good job Missy

This is excellent, thanks!

I just want to say thxs for reaching out to me, ps I grow up on a farm but we had a Oliver 77 row crop and Massey Ferguson’s and I am a ford tech and wanted a little ford tractor and got one but wouldn’t start so I bought it for 500 nice looking but didn’t run. But back too the problem it was and don’t laugh I went out on Sunday after staying up late Saturday and putting it back together I was looking at the fan and it would move a little then stop so i looked on the front left side and seen that the lower radiator hose clamp when u tighten it up was stopping the fan from spinning I moved the clamp about a half a turn. Now she runs great. Then a new problem came up. After setting for 3 year I think the clutch is stuck to the flywheel. Yea. U said in one of the videos u tried everything to unstick it what u try so I can before I buy a clutch for u guys. Thxs again for all the video wish a could post mine up for u guys to see

Please add links to similar videos in your descriptions. I need to turn my '49 up to get the most out of it. Thanks!

Thank you so much for sharing your videos Beautiful...

Hello.. Ive seen your rebuild videos and may i ask? Do you have any on a N2 ford starter rebuild? Ive been watching different ones but yours are much more informed in the way to do it.

Great video

Nice vid. I could use one on how to do this sort of tuning without the dyno.

Great job !

Excellent information

Nice video!

I dont have a tractor but this video was great. :)

Yu should do a show on gearing after the rpm increase to match it up for pulling power

Great info

What modifications did you do to your tractor

Can you do a video on just a regular adjustment procedure for a ford 8n? Can't seem to find one anywhere and am having troubles with my uncle's tractor. Thanks

Holy crap. This is awesome. I have a Gooden Jubilee and would love to know how to tune the Red Tiger.

Hi I have play in governor and bought shims to tighten the lever but how snug should it be real tight or smooth ?

Great Job Thank You

Awsome channel

Curious to what modifications were done to the engine (besides what was done in the video).

Note the much larger late-20th Century Minneapolis-Moline in the background.

not everyone needs a beast like that. honestly i dont even think i could use something that large on my property! Love my 8n.

We would like to listen to your work in Turkish, you are super.

How close of a comparison is this engine compared too a 4 cylinder Doosan Hercules G1600, Ingersoll Rand Aircompressor?

hey Rachel and Dan, I recently bought a ford 8n and rebuilt everything motor wise, the old tractor runs like a clock until it reaches about 38F, then it doesn't want to cold start. so should I richen the carb? or play with the timing? also once it starts is fine so looking forward to some feedback thanks

Genial, ojalá entendería lo q dices estoy restaurando un 8 nan. Saludos desde Argentina

Your AWSOME I have that same M&Wdyno

Nice video

I just replaced the points on my 6N. What a PITA. My fingers are not small enough to put the screws back with the washers. Is it better to remove the whole distributor body, and how is that done?

Hi, I have really enjoyed your videos and would like to know: about how much fuel would a good condition 8N use in an an hour with moderate use? I am not expecting an accurate figure but I am hoping for a ballpark figure.

If you do the 12 volt conversion,do you need to change the coil to 12 volts and can you use the same 6 volt distributor?
