We love our 1948 Ford 8n (family owned on our property since new) and 1957 Workmaster. Both great old Ford tractors. We’ve made lots of videos on our channel of using them to maintain our homestead. Amazing reliability.
Had a restored 1956 8n. Still have the tool box that bolts under the hood. Also still have the front wheels and 6volt generator system if anyone happens to be looking for these parts.
I’ve got a 1950 8n with the standard inline 4, and a Hupp auxiliary transmission. It’s a great little tractor! I love seeing all the old tractors still doing work, and being loved!
I've always been fascinated by the Funk conversions, but have wondered what role they actually played in farm life. The N series tractors are good tractors, but the drive train was built to handle 20 horsepower. Doubling that really must put a strain on that drive line. I'm wondering under what farm conditions or jobs a farmer could take advantage of the available 100 horsepower without breaking this little tractor?
I think a V-6 3 litre engine would be perfect in there. Our neighbour had one with straight 6, took rear ends out. They have no bull gears just big pinion gear & it would twist them off. Thanks I am from Ontario. Gas up here is 1.60/litre X 4.54 +
I saw a better funk sell in larned Kansas at Scott Auctoin last year for only 650$ she was rode hard, but complete.If you can make this with that, I bet you could make that one great if you can find it and buy it. I bet Jim Froetchner over there remember who bought it. I know the flatheads are much less rare .
Fun fact. In 1989 Funk Manufacturing was acquired by Deere & Co. It’s now known as the John Deere Coffeyville Works.
What a beauty Mr. Ray Dias has there, certainly a gem of a tractor. Thanks for sharing and I hope you all have a wonderful week.

Grew up on old ford's. Been great to had one of those. I've never saw a funk before. Great video
Need to take that one down to the dragstrip!🤣👍
First time I've heard about the Funk Ford. Looks like a good tractor. Thank you for sharing this!
I wouldn't go that far, but then they were a sign of their times.
@@RealJohnWayne did you own one of these?

I've never heard of a Hubb auxiliary transmission. Can you explain where it was inserted in the drive train and any other details about it?
Thank you for sharing your videos have a wonderful day 👍🌞!!
My dad did a 300 inline 6 conversion
That would be awesome to see pictures of
I wonder how hard that would be I've seen those engines on everything
Thanks for the great video learn something new every day
Should do an Oliver next
Congrats on 100k subscribers!

Its not a v-6 engine, it’s an inline 6 engine.

They was bad for flipping backward with only the 4 cylinder motor. I can only imagine how much easier it would be to flip it with more power

If I'm not mistaken, the narrator called the OHV Inline 6 a OHV V6.....🤔
Everyone makes mistakes
That happens when people just read a script someone else wrote lol that doesn’t check there work
@@scrotiemcboogerballs1981 - “their”
@DRAKE DOES STUFF Like not using a period at the end of their sentences. Otherwise, no one knows when they're through talking.
@@RealJohnWayne stop wasting your time complaining about grammar old man. Make your last few years on Erath count
I have serial number 5003. Had it up to 35 Mph
The last aircraft that Funk produced was an ag plane. They stopped building them in the '70s
This was after the fact
Production was moved to California I believe.
another change they made was to lengthen the hood.
thats not a V6 its a inline 6 big difference
it's not a V6 it is an inline 6. Whoever is the narrator, or script writer is clueless when it comes to power plants.
Brian Baxter is pretty knowledgeable. I didn't know you never make mistakes.
Chuck Norris used to be a man trapped in a Woman’s Body
Not a V6
Don't make them like they used to that's for sure
