Will This 3 Point PTO Finish Mower Work on the Ford GT500 (8N/9N)?

I snagged up this 60" farm king PTO 3 Point Finish Mower, in hopes to speed up the yard process. No idea if it works, or it the Ford has enough in'r to run it - but we're going to find out!

    Those tractors are surprisingly strong. We cleaned up major damage and large trees after Hurricane Katrina and the Ford 8 only had one fuel leak develop after 4 hard weeks of 7 days a week work. Awesome little work horse . Just watch the PTO !!

  • @slowride55
    @slowride553 жыл бұрын

    Be careful using that Derek. If that’s a fixed PTO adapter you really need an overrunning clutch. These are famous for people pushing in the clutch to stop and the momentum of the mower spinning keeps driving the tractor since the PTO is driven off the rear end. Lots of 8n Fords went over the hill cuz they were mowing with a rotary mower and no overrunning clutch.

There is nothing better than doing things as a family. You just don't realize this while it is happening, but they are memories that come back to you as you get older, and you miss them and start wishing that you could have the "old times" back. The kids grow up too fast. They are very lucky to have a father and mother who care so much about them and does everything in their power to bring them up right and makes memories like this.

    We live in crowded polluted air Mesa Az where it's currently 110 out with about 20% humidity. In the 90's we had a chance to buy my wife's family farm in Southern Illinois. There was 85 acres left of it. Barns full of old goodies and equipment plus a three story log house with a huge hand built fireplace using rocks tilled from the soil. The 2 acre lake was really cool but the humidity and the harsh winters made us walk away. I see you on your farm and wonder sometimes if we made a mistake. The farm is still in her family but after we turned them down one of her cousins bought it just recently. It is located about 20 miles away from Carmi Illinois. Right along the Wabash river near Kentucky & Indiana. Great video Derek. Spending time with your kids is great.

    Great video! I love those old tractors. I've got a Ford 600 that was my only tractor for 16 years on a farm in Kentucky. Worth its weight in gold, I'd say. Moved it back up north to Connecticut with me and she did a fine job bush hogging around the old pastures. I picked up a Case 480CK loader to help the old girl out, and they make a fine pair! I'd love to see more old tractor "how to's" if you get the time. I love the cooler version of you on these videos, as well. Keep up the good work, Dad! I really like all the different content that you share on this channel. Well done!

    I had a “beaver” 3 cylinder diesel tractor with a pull behind finish mower and it worked awesome. A good project for this channel would be to find and rebuild a “Gilson” industrial/commercial 18 hp hydrostatic tractor. It’s just the size of a big riding mower but it’s got a hydraulic pump under the seat. It’s hydrostatic drive. It’s got a pto shaft out the back of it. The one I had was a I believe late 80’s model. It had a rear mount pto drive rototiller with hydraulic lift. It had a 48 inch belt drive mowing deck with hydraulic lift. It had a 48 inch belt drive snow blower with hydraulic lift. And it had a 48 inch push blade with hydraulic lift. It had a 18hp horizontal shaft Briggs n Stratton. It had 75 pound rear wheel weights and tire chains. I have never ever seen another one like it here in Maine. I ended up loosing the motor ( valve guides) and sold the attachments. I kept the tractor and I plan on making a wood splitter with the hydraulic pump. So anyways if you could ever find one in decent shape they are definitely worth looking at. As always WORK SAFE 😎😎🇺🇸🇺🇸
