- In this video I’m taking the Ford 8n loader tractor out to get some redemption! When I tried this before the old tractor cut out and died and was barely able to limp itself back home. After a few upgrades the old Ford is ready to give it another try, but not before having a bit of fun first!

What a kind donation from the viewer, those new tyres are well deserved Tyler, you always bring us great content!
Thank you and yes it was!
To whom that sent the donation:
That was very sweet of you! It makes my heart happy to see Tyler be able to fix up his grandpa's tractors so I thank you from the bottom of my heart!
The cow sniffs the new dirt, and says "Hey, that's not hay!" :) Thanks for the great videos!
Aweeeeee. God bless the subscriber that helped you get the tires
I have just been gifted a 1950 8N with a near identical front end loader and bucket. Much thanks for showing me what it needs to do as soon as I get the old gal running (probably this week). The only problem is my 3 acres are a bit confining for this rig! I feel fortunate mine has no cracks or leaks in the bars used as the hydraulic oil reservoir!
That was a nice gesture donating those tyres
Very cool, this brings back very fond memories. I grew up on a small 20 acre place that had an old Ford 8n with loader. I though it was old back then and that was in the late '60's lol...
I have a Ford 8N With Hydraulic Loader, motor was rebuilt before I got it, still 6 volt with side Distributor and purrs like a Kitten at idle, PTO & Hydraulics are Fine and does pretty much anything I need on a 40 acre farm and Love it
Awesome get that tractor 🚜 working by in good condition!
Yeah, I don’t know what it is with cows and piles of dirt! When we scraped the topsoil off for our barn build, we ended up with a big pile. When the cows would get in there, they’d always want to play “king of the mountain”! Haha! Thanks for sharing!
Ha yes I remember you showing that! Cows are funny!
Tyler, the tractor is coming along, love the classic tractors. They bring back memories, your grandpa would be proud Of what your doing with the tractor’s and farm. I feel your doing well, and you still work a full time job. Very well done young man 👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸
Thank you!
Thanking you for your video's and hoping you are all well.
Please stay high, dry and well.
A viewer....
Thank you!
LOL, COOL SEEING YA HAVING FUN IN THE DIRT. ALWAYS GOOD TO SEE YA, YOU ARE A GREAT INSPIRATION TO ALL! VERY NICE VIEWER TO GET TIRES FOR YA..🏍🚜🌝💪
Everyone needs a little play time. I’ve enjoyed the 8N stories. Every time I see an 8N I tell my wife that my grandpa had one of those. To which she replies “I know. You’ve told me that”. Lol. Really like your videos. Thanks for sharing.
I have lots of 'favorite' channels. But this, somehow, feels closer to home. Just one guy, with the love of his wife and family and the internet working a farm.
Thank you!
It’s a great day when FTR video is out there! Thanks for the great videos Tyler! 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Nice to see you bringing that old 8N tractor back to life. I really enjoyed the drone footage.
That thing fired up like a beast!
I like how you stay on topic.....the life of a farmer/rancher. It really helps me out in these odd times, to actually enjoy a bit of my day, watching you share something from yours.
Great viewing community and neighbors. Gives me hope, I moved to the country near my step family and where I hunted as a kid. I ended up surrounded by the worst people (not stepfam), although a few are very sweet and kind, but the 2 main families who owned the lands around me have evolved into 2 spoiled mommies boys , one who never worked and run commercial operations on our shared private lane. Only comes out to chop wood, while I'm out working in every downpour to save my stuff because he refuses to add drainage to his 5 plus acres that sits above me and 2 90 year old couples. Anyways, the 2 tires are especially thoughtful, you're a good person and made many people happy with your gesture , not just the recipient. Those AGs makes the tractor but it's so hard to spend that money,
That was fun!
When my 8N Cranks but won't start it's always the condenser. Runs great I haven't even changed the plugs in 20 years.
With new hoses, clamps, seals, you'll have a real good little hauler. As to mounting your own tires, pay the C-note. It's worth it. And lose the bike! Your family (and your cows) need you. God bless...
lose the bike......lol...........you must be crazy!
You were just like a kid in a candy store today!! Great video!!!
Great job fantastic viewers and you have to have fun release the beast Cows love new things
Great video Tyler, I really enjoyed it. Take care and have a blessed week.
well you know all work and no play will make you dull boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! old saying here, every one needs a recess and you deserve one, hows every one doing in the family? take care and god bless
That donation Farmer Tyler from a viewer was fantastic ! Those tires sure cost a lot ! I really enjoy your sense of humor.....not being able to resist riding over that mound of sand. I would have done the same thing ! Your projects are coming along just fine....keep up the great videos ! :)
Thank you! It was just too much to resist!
That was a generous gift that you received in those tires, and a hat tip to the individual(s) that made that gift happen. Playtime actually looked like a lot of fun...it’s ok to cut loose once in a while. Good luck with the tires! If you have the right tools it’s not too bad, but if you don’t and you’re making do by jury rigging then it’s a pain in the rear! I no longer have the time or patience, and would just pay the $100 to mount them. Stay safe!
I wish we had a tracker like that old one or any one for that matter.
That was so nice to see the 8N in action
Yep,you climbing on that 🏍 you were looking like a kid at heart. That mound of dirt had your name written all over it Mr Tyler😉
Aww!!! There at the end, that was too cute!! 💕 I can't find it now but when that one cow was studying the camera that was pretty cute too!! Lol
Another great video, Mr FTR. Helps to take my mind off the craziness around me. THRILLED a viewer was able to get you those tires 🙌👏👏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you!
Tyler, the hardest part of the rear tires is breaking the bead. drive them flat a few feet if needed, 2 or 3 tire spoons will get it done with little grease if needed. "The o- ring Store" will have all your cylinder seals just take them apart measure & order. "Surplus Center" for hydraulic hoses get NPT swivels for each end and simple NPT hoses. Makes those Sunday afternoon break downs easier to fix!
Thanks Joe yes the bead break is what I’m most worried about. I think if I can do that then I can do the rest but we’ll see!
Another fun video - YAY!
Awesome! I have been watching your videos for a long time and wondered if the dirt bikes would ever come out!
Love your channel. Thanks!
Boys and there toys!
Great Video and Channel as always. Thanks for sharing
Nice job Tyler, can't always be all work and no play. Keep up the good work.
As others have said, you'll be a bit light I the rear lifting a 9-11 hundred lb round bale. Since you're mounting rears anyway, dump some used antifreeze in them for weight. You are also going to want a 3 point spear for the rear to save you time and add weight. I can send you dimensions for building a simple one if needed. Oh yeah 3/16 3x3 sq tube will be plenty for both the front and rear spears. That's all I use and I've never had a customer bring one back for repairs yet.
I think the tractor would be a lot more stable on you if you added some counterweight. I just put an implement in the three point hitch. I like to use a box blade or even a mower or brush hog when I'm doing loader work.
Cows are lacking in mineral when the lick or eat sand/dirt
But the good news is that they found something they need in it.
I think they were just eating the grass that was scooped with the dirt. At least that’s what I thought of first.
@@doniedewgotstrikesagain2082 bad news is they ate all my sand
Good video like that ur having so fun during a hard days work
Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to the new tires and more repairs. Blessings of health, safety, strength, protection and success to you and family. Your motorcycle segment made me jealous. I've been across the US twice on a cycle but, I'm 69 now and in a wheelchair. I enjoy your channel.
☝️🙏🇺🇸💪🙌👍...
Really enjoy the videos, neat tractor and loader. It is certainly important to play a little.You work very hard and blessed with the mechanical and welding skills. Take care
What a good project to help work out the bugs in the tractor. Seems the cows like to play in the dirt, much like their owner.
Haha!
Nice to see it held up for ya! It's just like any other older piece of equipment... the list of repairs grows as you get to know it. Nice work man
Thanks Chris! I thought you might comment on the bike, does that thing look ready for the dunes or what?! Haha
Nice bike, my husband use to race Motocross, we all have to have a little fun. 😃 The tractor done a great job,
You might be surprised buddy, I bet a good bucket load of sand is pretty close to the weight of a typical 4x** round bale. It is in a 6 foot bucket anyways! Glad its running better for ya
Thank you Brad!
You must have six hands: tractor driving, camera operator and guitar playing - all at once!
Haha!
good job man enjoyed the video
The blunt edge of the loader cause large amounts of resistance. adding teeth/jagged edge would break up that resistance.
Love old tractors! Old or new I I'm on the hunt just don't want a money pit. I think you're on the right path 🚜
Got one in my shed right now. A 1952 model. Got a lot of things done around here with that critter.
It’s coming together! Good luck on mounting the tires. I did mount a three rib front tire, but it wasn’t easy and took a lot of time. I’d definitely recommend the long tire changing bars as the shorter 3’ pry bar with a 2’ pry bar to assist didn’t work well. Hopefully being bigger diameter tires works in your favor!
Thank you! Yeah I mounted my front tires and it wasn’t too bad, but I did get a tire changer from Harbor Freight so that helped until I broke it haha! Look for a video on that soon
Congrats on the tires, that was vern generous. Wish I could help like that.
Thanks 😊
Aww yeah. Super cool. Mad Max lol 👍👍👍👍 🚜🚜🌷🚜🚜🌷🚜🚜🌷🚜🚜
You re going to need some counter-balance weight on the 3PT. to handle the front load of the bucket or spear. The weight will also give the tractor more traction when loading the bucket to give you a larger payload.
And play he did🙄. Just enough to satisfy the little boy inside. Yep you do have a little bit of a squeal
, glad you explained the possible causes. Do you suppose that the sand has something in it that the cows are lacking? I know you have minerals out for them but agree it is a little strange that more than one of them was sampling the sand. Thank you nice winter pasture man for the sand...really like your dump trailer. Good luck Tyler getting those tractor tires changed. Thank you kind man for those tires. I really appreciate your kindness to Mr and Mrs FTR.
Thank you Robyn! Yes I wondered about mineral content in the sand. Could be that but like you said they have access to all that already. Could be something I’m not supplementing?
That's the only tractor we use.
Sir: that was the BEST use of your time. If you couldn’t have joy, what’s the point.
Good luck with the leak repairs. You may want to consider building a counter weight to for your 3 point
Hey Tyler!! Thanks for the evening video and might I say it was a dandy. Hard to think you played in the sandbox without the Mrs. But maybe she can hop a ride if you get another load of sand. The cows were super cute and give your neighbor a thank you from beautiful coastal Carolina!!
Thank you Wendy!
The squeal is lack of oil pressure in system, if you add more hydraulic oil the noise will stop but will continue as the oil leaks.
U did a good job, sounds like new ,
..yes everybody needs to play kid once in s while n just relax !!! Yah i heard that hydraulic problem but thats for another day rite !?!
Well. I think that despite her groans and leaks the old lady didn't let you down. Between the two of you, you got things done. Now she needs a little bit more TLC. 👌👌👌 persevere my friend. 🌷🌷
Thank you Anne!
@@farmertylerranch4399 Always a pleasure ☺☺
Do not take those pistons into a hydraulic shop for just the o-rings. I just did mine and they are super simple to do.
Thanks Eddie you’re right they are very simple. I have a video on rebuilding them here somewhere!
Lol what???!!!!!!! A little playtime!!! Yes big thank you for tires!!! Now back to farm work!!!!! Lmbo
Where would you suggest someone look to purchase/order the arms and bucket for the loader attachment of an older tractor like yours?
Every time I hear a certain one of your guitar licks it reminds me of a Simone and Garfunkel song. I just can't think of the name.
I appreciate your desire to rebuild the 8N,, but I would advise you to get a bale spear for the back of your New Holland to handle the round bales. It’s very difficult and dangerous to try to handle the round bales period, much less on a light two wheel drive tractor. I used to use a MF I35,, so I’m speaking from experience. Hope you’re successful, but a three point hay spear is relatively cheap, especially if you build it yourself.
we all need play time,!! good reviews on loader tractor there , at that age everything needs some love and care. but::: it hurt me to not see the 2 stroke suzi attack and braaap that pile into a roost berm!! i guess i may have to come out there and get suzi up and running.. just a dig there tyler!!
Ha yeah the Suzuki is on the waiting list to be pulled out of the corner of the shop and brought back to life. Honestly with a carb clean and a new air filter I bet it would fire right up but I’ve got bigger plans for it!
Makes me want a dirtbike
Famous last words, How hard can it be!!!!
Haha oh yeah!
3:15 nice jumps,
Haha thanks! Just playing around!
I love the video I have one of these front end loaders. I wish someone would show how they attach to the tractor. Please help me. Thank you
You'll get it dialed in. I think you need a few more piles of sand/dirt to get a few more jumps in...LOL
Haha yes I thought the same thing!
I have seen people use the front wheels on a second tractor to change tires. Pushing the rubber of the rim.
Ford tractor was the best thing ford ever made. To bad thier pickups never pick up on it.
That bike looked fun as hell! Looking forward to seeing you mount those tires. Oh, hey... in the past you mentioned having a job. Besides farming, what kind of job do you have Tyler?
Thanks Craig. Yeah I work for the county as an Ag Biologist but hopefully I won’t have to do that forever!
Oh wow! No wonder you have sort of an analytical brain in the way you approach things. Kudos to you!
Maybe next year you should save for a skid steer. After you have one you cant imagine life without one
Yeah I’d love to have one but at this point can’t justify the cost. I’m sure you’re right though once you have one you can’t go back!
I was hoping to see you go after that tire mounting project. 👮🏻♂️👍
Soon. Maybe next video?
your burning oil notice the blue smoke coming out the exhaust could be fowling plugs enough to kill the engine and make it hard to crank on the remainder of the cylinders just a thought check plugs for wet or dark oil residue ......stevie
When I freshened up the ignition I noticed one plug was fouled like that so at least one cylinder has blow by. Hopefully she can hang on until I get a chance to get that deep into it!
Your hidro foaming and squealing could be the type of oil I had the same problem had to get heavier oil non foaming and ad a cooler
Yeah I read that it could be the oil. Where did you get non foaming oil?
@@farmertylerranch4399 It could be an air leak as well, mine foamed/bubbled a lot because of a leak in hydraulic lines.
Tyler just wanted to let u know I lost another one of my babies this last weekend hope everyone is doing well
Oh no I hate hearing that
First, hi to Farmer Tyler Ranch and all others too!
Any time people say a crack isn't structural, I ask what then made it crack?
My big boy Kev looks much like you with his big red beard and 500 Yamaha 😉
I really do hope that the old tractor has what it takes to move those big round bales...but I dunno.
I don’t either but here’s hoping!
Just curious how hard does your tractor turn when it's empty my 1955 Ford jubilee 640 turns real hard how can I fix it
Well...it turns about like a non power steering tractor should I guess! Might try changing your spindle bushings and thrust bearing. Check ball joints, steering box, could also be the offset of your wheels
Your thrust bearings are most likely shot.
Ok thank you guys
?why did u put sand so far away. Good video hope you get those cylinders fixed it's hard on the pump as u said thanks for sharing
Just because I knew I wouldn’t use it all and that’s a good out of the way spot for it
We box blade everything and it is a pain.
Did you blow a rod bearing yet? That is why my starter went bad.
👍👍👍👍
One step at a time. How old do you think the hydraulic hoses are? I actually thought it sounded like a steering unit that needed fluid. Shows how much I know about older tractors. Take Care
I’m not sure, many have been replaced it looks like somewhat recently but who knows
That thang got a lot more push to it then I thought it would. 😞
Those fields look a bit wet.
Are parts for these expensive relative to newer ones?
No they’re actually much cheaper!
@@farmertylerranch4399
No shit. Thanks
I dont even have the loader part.
