It's rather humbling when you consider the fact that in all likelihood, most, if not all of the human hands that had any part in that machines' creation are now gone. Some of them long gone, I'm sure. And yet, this machine, their creation, gets to live and breathe once again. Thanks for saving it. I understand the affinity for old iron.
Yes she'll live again my pap took a 9n out of a field where it sat for years and tore it down and rebuilt its like brand new hes no longer with us but I still have the tractor and I won't let it go so shes a garage decoration that I still start and ride around the field for the hell of it
How much did it sell for?
The front wheels are not Ford 9N or 2N. 9N used a 5 lug 9-3/4" center hole wheel with a 4.00" x 19" tire. 2N used a 6 lug 6" center hole wheel. Your tractor was modified to fit a small pattern five lug wheel. Ford 9N wheels are rather inexpensive and easy to find; somebody went through a lot of work to make those wheels fit. Also, the quickest way to identify a 9N is the long radius rod/bar connecting the front axle. 9N used a I-beam like rod and 2N and 8N used a smooth oval radius rod.
Dad bought me a 1941 Ford flat fender jeep to cut my teeth on. Best times of my life.
Just saying, Mr.Matt ; why-oh-why did you start off with that "ROT-GUT " fuel to start that old "Fine Piece of Machinery" ?
I think I spent more hours doing farm work in those N series Ford seats than I spent in school desks in my high school years. They're great little tractors.
Love the look on your face every time you get one of these old machines running. Don’t ever lose that enthusiasm. 👍🏻
One of my favorite things about this channel is Matt's enthusiasm when something finally starts running. Doesn't matter if it's an old chainsaw or a 60k pound diesel excavator. It brightens my day every single time. Thank you Matt. In a disposable society, it's nice to see old iron live again.
The pto has to be engaged to operate the lift arms. Nice video!!!!
Hi Mat,
I started driving my grandfathers 8N Ford when i was 8, six years later he decided to completely restore it and I was blessed to help with the bodywork, paint, rebuild ,and convert to 12 volt. I spent the next 20 years doing everything on our 200 acre cattle and sheep ranch with that reliable old gal. including teaching my son to drive that tractor. When my grandfather died we had to sell the ranch and tractor, but I moved back to the area 15 years later and I visited the new owner and the old girl still looked and ran great. Its now been 58 years since I first saw her and she still works like a champ, this video brought a flood of emotion, thank you THANK YOU THANK YOU.
was going to mention that you had to engage the pto to lift the three point hitch, but you discovered it. Good job saving that little gem.
So happy to see this. I learned how to drive on a 9N, on my uncle's farm in Ireland. I'd say it was on the 'wrong' side of the road as well, but the darn thing took up the whole road in rural Ireland anyway :)
👍Nothing better than a new Diesel Creek video on a Saturday morning.👍👍 Love those old Fords!!
I restored a 1953 Golden Jubilee that sat in a forest for years. Dragged it home and did a full restoration. I use that little Ford every summer with a finish mower. She does purr like a kitten and is a joy to operate. Well engineered and built to last. Great video as always Matt. Thanks for saving another classic
It's awesome how you never loose your joy when something old starts running again
I bet you all the people that made it have passed on. You've resurrected their hard work. Yes, you have saved a piece of history 👏
Professor Matt, the mechanical archeologist 👍
Not sure if you know this or not about the fuel valve, but it's a two stage valve. The tractors don't have a fuel gauge (Some of the dealers sold one that was basically a paint stick with marks on it that you would dip into the tank to tell the level). For normal operation you open the fuel valve like half a turn, and then when it starts to stumble you open the valve all the way and that opens the lower fuel feed which gives you another gallon or so of fuel, idea being the "reserve" will get you back to wherever you need to go to put fuel in it, similar to the "reserve" on an old motorcycle.
