One of the cleanest 8Ns I've seen in a long time. My Dad bought me one like it sixty-three years ago for my 10th birthday, gave me ten minutes of instruction and I was a farmer.
I had to laugh when he said the woods mower was worth more than the tractor.😅..They made a lot of them. That's true. 😅. I also had to laugh when he said was glad his jump box can't talk.....WHY? ...why do you need another tractor,Derek?? (because this 8N is worth saving..). 😂😅
Derek, this is probably my favorite video you've ever posted. My pawpaw farmed until he was 94 years old, and he just couldn't anymore. He ALWAYS dressed just like you in this video, and he was about your size. Seeing you kneeling beside that front tire actually made me shed a tear for the Ole man. Who would have thought that a video of an old tractor would bring back such great memories. Thank you for this one. Mike.
I just lost my father to a heart attack 25 minute's before this video was posted and we always used to watch your new videos after coming in at night from working on his car or his truck or whatever, and i didnt get to watch it with him. So now im watching it for him, thankyou for these videos derek, theyre just going to be another one of the good memories with my dad, from the very bottom of my heart, thankyou❤
@joshvandruff1790 I'm sure he was, he always used to burst out laughing when Derek would say his funny names for stuff, sparkelators, fuel make it happener, etc and I coulda swore I heard a quiet laugh come from across the room, but I was the only one there
@@relaxed_borgir I know the pain of losing your dad. I lost mine a few years ago. It does hurt. But it gets a lot better. He still lets me know he’s around from time to time.
My great grandma wanted a tractor for their house because she was tired of working the land by hand, and so my great grandpa sold one of his service stations in 1954 to buy a 1949 8N. My great grandma returned the favor the next year by "saving up 2 months of grocery money" to buy my grandpa a 94 winchester to go hunting with his buddies. These old fords make me smile whenever I see one, and I'm so glad to watch you work on one.
@oldasrocks9121 not a whole lot, just stuff they grew and canned. Going to the grocery store for them was more for ingredients and spices like salt, pepper, and flour. They grew most of their fruits and veggies and raised all their meat.
75 yo Canadian man here, who grew up on a mixed fruit orchard in a small town in the Okanagan Valley. My uncle owned a 20 acre orchard, my parents 10 acres, my maternal grandmother 5 acres, all neighbouring each other. My uncle Don was a mining engineer who took a job in the mid-1950s with the then-new Inland Natural Gas company that was bringing gas to the Valley, and my dad left his job at a local packinghouse to operate all the orchards while Don was away. I was 9 ~10 [?] years old when I was first allowed to drive my uncle's Ford 8N, and it was my favourite power plant for general hauling, rototilling, spraying & mowing until I left home at age 17 to study physics at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver in the fall of 1965. Hearing this 8N running again brought memories to my mind & tears to my eyes. Thank you, VGG...
I love how Derick tries to play it off like he is just too lazy to bring his other tractor over. He just can't stand seeing something sitting around not running! The man loves to save things and give them new life.
Makes great content, and let's be honest, the old stuff was just built better, hence his entire channel and all that old stuff, for the most part, just firing right up with minimal parts changing and or basic maintenance. Try that with an ECU after sitting out for that long lol
@@ViceGripGarage Truly thanks to you, though. I know you make it look like a feller' is just out in the fields and hollers fixing up cars. But you are touching lives! Thank you!
I ain't gonna lie, I got a little misty when that old Ford fired up. My PeePaw (Grandfather) had a 9N he bought second hand after he came home from Korea. He lost an arm over there, but didn't keep that man from doing anything. I've got it now, it's never been out of Tennessee. It's probably only worth 1000 bucks or so, but i wouldn't take a Million for it. I fire it up every so often and take it for a ride through the hay field. Thanks for the trip to a great time of my life with my PeePaw. Love you brother.
An elderly man who lived two houses away from us had an 8n ford. This was in the late fifties when I was just a kid. Thank you for getting the old girl running. It warms this dinosaur’s heart.
As an older feller that found myself watching every video I can find by VGG...I did the right thing and subscribed! I even found my way to the bleep bloop section to express my thanks to you and your family! Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing it with us!
The Ford 8N was the first tractor I ever drove. It belonged to my grandfather and it was my first step to driving large farming equipment until I joined the Air Force in 1973. At 73 years old I still miss being out in the open field, riding the tractor and being left to my own devices. Thanks for sharing!
My grandfather tried to start me on the 8N, but I was too little to steer it and stand on the brakes. They switched me to the JD 2020 because it had power steering.
Personally Derek, I really enjoy the Tractor revivals! Maybe more than the old vintage car revivals ... nope, probably not. Anywho, I'm always impressed with your knowledge of vintage tractors and look forward to more tractor revivals! Just keep being you!!
I’m a GM car and truck guy, but you just can’t beat the old Ford tractors. Have a 58 801 Powermaster that was bought brand new by my grandpa and is still my dad’s daily tractor to this day. Built the same year he was born and never had anything serious done to it. All original engine, clutch, everything..zero problems and used heavily and beat on for 66 years! 👍🏻
I'm also a big fan of gm cars and trucks, but you just can't beat 3 fomoco products their 8 and 9n's bumpside Ford 67-72 trucks and bullnose Ford truck especially the 84-86 420 cubic inch idi 6.9 litre diesel and i would add two dodge products to that if it was me tin grille dodge trucks and second gen dodge ram trucks!!
Yep, most of us have run and kept running any pre computer big three cars, trucks and for some, tractors. "easy, peasy" pre computer machines will save many when excessive digitalia breaks en masse 😂@@richardbates2367
Hi Derek, just wanted to say a BIG Thank You for your content. I just lost my Dad tonight and wanted to let you know that your videos have always brought back memories of my Dad and I working on vehicles together. When I watch a video with you and your sons I remember being just like your sons asking questions and peering over the hood just watching my Dad make a car run again, Then when he let me get more involved it just all came full circle when I lead the way replacing the motor in his '04 Silverado that we did as a father son project. Just like you he wasn't a digitals fan and that's where I came in after going to automotive school and understanding the "new age" vehicles 😂😂 He was the one watching over the hood asking questions! 😂😂
Sorry for the loss of your Dad. He's waiting for you now, so enjoy his memory and continue to make him proud of you, as a man and a father. Pass on what he taught you to the next generation, Brother!
So sorry for your loss, I empathize with you, My Dad and I had the same relationship and like you I am passing his knowledge onto my littlest humans I am responsible for…he is always with you..Just listen for him in your ear and you’ll hear him 👍
Wow!! You’re a busy man. You drove in the Indy 800, met with Tony Angelo and released a video all in the same night! You must have super human powers 😂😂
VGG therapy never disappoints. Impossible not to relax and change your mood while watching Derrick. I only wish I could be this calm and patient with everything.
58 mins. and she runs! That, ladies and gentlemen, is United States of America manufacturing back when that meant something. Derek one of your best. Diagnostics at its best. I am a complete nincompoop when it comes to internal combustion engines but thanks to you and can begin to follow along pretty good.
I'm the 3rd owner of a 49 8N. My grand pa got it from his brother in Alabama where he bought it new, and I got it from my grand pa. Old girls has been in the Hefner family since she was born, and I plan on giving it to my Son one day. These old girls just keep on going if ya give them just a little love every now and then! Thanks Derek for keeping another one moving!
I am from south Africa and I am amazed by all the old petrol engines used in America, diesel were used in South Africa, very few petrol , which we normally started with power paraffin
Those tractors helped feed the nation. Not just brush hog around the edges but plow disk plant and harvest. Good to see the old iron getting fixed up and put back to service ready.
When I was young I thought I was a pretty good mechanic but after watching you I finally realized I know less than nothing. It’s always a pleasure watching your videos. Thank you.
I'm going to assume that Derek hasn't sat down to watch TV in eleventy niner million years, he probably doesn't even know how to work the remote cause he's never seen one. The guy is ALWAYS on the go, working his tail off, sun up to well after sun down. Much love and respect brother, you're a damn beast!
he's said that himself lol. too busy to watch television or youtube. Honestly thats the way any feller should live. I do watch some youtube for this type of thing though
When I was a young boy in the 60’s I used to ride on the fender of my grandpas 8N all over his farm. As I grew I had to switch to riding on the 3 point hitch holding onto the back of grandpas seat! On Halloween he took all of us grandkids into town on a hay wagon to trick or treat. I didn’t know much about tractors then but I knew my grandpa was a hard working man and expected the same out of all of his equipment and that tractor NEVER failed to do whatever he asked of it. The sound of that engine brings back fond memories!
This was a GREAT day to be out there playing with tractors!! Thanks for taking me with you. Btw your beard is taking on some color and just looking fantastic 👍
I needed a tractor. My father gave me his 1949 8N. A little Marvel Mystery Oil in the sparkalator holes and the compression came along, and just like that, best tractor ever. New tires and rattle can paint job and I could not be happier. I only wish she was a live PTO like the 53 and newer Fords. Loved this video. Even had to show the wife.
This one took me back to my childhood! I'm 56 now, but That tractor is the exact one my dad trained me on! They will run forever with a lil bit of care! Love this one, Derek. Got a tear in my eye...made me really miss my dad. Big thumbs up from me! God bless you and yours!👍
Wondering if a feller talks to himself the whole time he's working when the camera isn't on. If so, I'm sure the cats are as entertained as we are. Great content as always. Thanks for all you do, Derek.
The reason I started watching VGG is cause I love the content. The reason I keep watching is because you consistently and sincerely express your appreciation. Thanks for keeping at this so hard and remaining a straight up good guy!
I have a ford 2000 and they are such good tractors. Ford 8n 9n and 600 all have proved to be great old tractors. Thanks again for your channel. Good people deserve great things.
When I was about six years old my daddy bought a house that had about 6 feet of weeds and growth and all that, the backyard was an Orchard in the City ! All kinda GOOD Fruit . Yep, he got a Bush Hog + ended up with a Wonderful Piece of Property 💕💪😎 , Thanks VGG+ Family!
The sheer joy when you fired that bad boy up had me feeling that excitement, too. Derek, you are one of my favorite humans. You really are a national treasure!
Suggestion, raise the 3pt hitch so the front of the cutter isn’t dragging and digging. Also, engage the PTO at idle. It is less of a shock to the mower and the tractor. When cutting, up the RPMs to over 2000. I think you will find that the cutter can co what you need and it will be steerable because the cutter isn’t dragging. We had a Ford 600 which was their next generation. These are good machines and will get the job dove for you. We miss our old tractor. It was fun
I think I have seen this before, but it is so well worth watching Derek work on things! Next I am going to watch Derek and his wife that has spray-painted her jeep wrangler, can’t wait!
A fellers evening is now complete. Another round of wobble pops. Thank you Derek, you've been busy with the posting this week, much appreciated. Wishing a great weekend for you and yours.
Wow... My Uncle and I rebuilt his 8N about 15 years ago. Conversion to 12 volt.... Carb rebuilt. Rusty gas tank.... PTO seals.... Gauges... Good times with a great man!
Well what a co-inky-dink! A guy was out in the boat shed messin round cleaning the carbs on the floaty thing and decided to see if the ole '48 8N thats also parked there would fire up.... Yep, thanks to a 12 volt conversion and a Pertronix Ignitor kit. A guy can testify that those kits make life with a front mount distributer MUCH more gooder. Then i come in, kick off the earth pounders, crack a cold snack, and find this vidja. Shoulda had an Old Milwaukee, cause it doesnt get better than this! Thanks for your hard work Derek.
Got my own 8N just recently, I'm doing a complete rebuild with all new parts from steiner tractor. I want my grandkids to be able to use it long after I'm gone.
New subscriber. Looking forward to your channel and journey. God bless you all and many prayers 🙏🏻 Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister 🙏🏻 Great new property 🙏🏻 cant wait to see the homes on it. Beautiful family!
My uncle that I'm named after had one of these, I remember as a kid watching him do everything with that tractor. Just this month we purchased his old property and are moving there. Really wanting to get one of these to work that same land again just like he did.
Derek, thank you for taking the effort to put up videos! I am retired NAVY , these videos remind me to get off my butt and work on projects that i missed out on while serving . Much Love Brother!
I know nothing about farming and I'm not really a ford guy but that's a COOL old tractor! Please do a 30 footer paint job at least red and white? ... and blue? No definitely not blue
You're welcome! Some of us don't get a chance to enjoy the outdoors as you do. It's always a treat to watch you work on a tractor withe the sound of a Redwing blackbird in the background.
I heard it too, but only once at the end. If it was singing more than that, I'll just blame it on my old abused eardrums and..OOH, SQUIRREL!... my inattention.😁
Very nice looking tractor, rescued 39 9n from field years ago for 800 bucks was great spraying tractor. Updraft carbs were cast iron so jets plug if it sits, put calcium in front tires to assist with heavy tools,
My grandpa used a 1941 ford 9n for mowing most of his property. Every time he was done, he’d come in and ask 3 year old me if I wanted to help him put it away. I’m getting around to fixing it up for him so we can keep mowing with it.
Is there a change , that you Derek will be on a European Tour someday ? Maybe a meet and greet ? Greetings from Germany . P.S. ...we have Cars in Germany too 😇
This channel is great overall, but I love the way a guy gets as or more excited getting and old tractor running again than when you get most other cars going. Very nice rig.
I know you appreciate the views and subs, but the overwhelming amount of advertising breaks has me not wanting to watch anymore, a 50 second add every 4 minutes is pissing me off.
This brings back memories of watching my Dad use an 8n to cut brush for neighbors around 65 years ago, It was a nice little tractor. for a feller to get some work done. If you had a shade umbrella for it, that was even better.
Im in NC, and got a 1952 ford 8n, was sitting, you gave me inspiration to fix it, and got it running and driving yesterday, thank you for the videos and always look forward to seeing new ones, your comedy, experience, and the way you talk through things makes it easy for others to learn stuff, i have a few VWs and look foward to see you do a vw at some point.
My Dad had a Ford 8n back in the 70s. We had 8 acres. He cleared that property with that old tractor dragging trees and drilling out old stumps. Good memories.
Normally, I would dislike a tractor on what I consider a car show, but you work so hard and provide such great content constantly. I really can't complain. Now please drive that tractor 500 miles back home. 😀
grandpa had the big blue brother, he kept the shared dirt road from the camps cleared in winter and graveled in summer. loved that tractor, years later, living on a farm i helped a fella restore a ford 900 from around that same era. loved that old gal and Tank taught me a lot that summer, basic traactor repair, welding, etc. we lost him youngish a few years later, was a damn shame. anyway now im just rambling. thanks Derek for bringing me back a peice. much obliged sir ❤
Thank you Derek for the wonderful entertainment. It really helps me cope with life more than you know. It really is like having a friend. Oh look! A lumberyard!
I love this guy, he is so positive and funny. I don't know the first thing about cars, don't even have a driving license but I really enjoy watching! Thanx
Cold wobbles and VGG is all a feller looks forward to all week!!!!!! Thanks Derek! PS I’d love to see a video of just the clearing of your property! Call me crazy. 😂

This was a GREAT day to be out there playing with tractors!! Thanks for taking me with you.
Btw your beard is taking on some color and just looking fantastic 👍
A guy has enjoyed so many of these videos he feels he needs to say; Thank You VGG!
I needed a tractor. My father gave me his 1949 8N. A little Marvel Mystery Oil in the sparkalator holes and the compression came along, and just like that, best tractor ever. New tires and rattle can paint job and I could not be happier. I only wish she was a live PTO like the 53 and newer Fords. Loved this video. Even had to show the wife.
Derek, 74 years old and still ready to work! Great revival of a machine built to last! Congrats!
This one took me back to my childhood! I'm 56 now, but That tractor is the exact one my dad trained me on! They will run forever with a lil bit of care! Love this one, Derek. Got a tear in my eye...made me really miss my dad. Big thumbs up from me! God bless you and yours!👍
Me too man. Im 51 and learned on one in Palouse Washington.
Wondering if a feller talks to himself the whole time he's working when the camera isn't on. If so, I'm sure the cats are as entertained as we are. Great content as always. Thanks for all you do, Derek.
glad to see this tractor get new life
Crossover episode between Garage and Lodge? I'm here for it. Love seeing you get old stuff running and love seeing you working on the property.
Dude when you started this machine the smile on my face couldn't have been any bigger
The reason I started watching VGG is cause I love the content. The reason I keep watching is because you consistently and sincerely express your appreciation. Thanks for keeping at this so hard and remaining a straight up good guy!
I have a ford 2000 and they are such good tractors. Ford 8n 9n and 600 all have proved to be great old tractors. Thanks again for your channel. Good people deserve great things.
Sure wish they would build stuff to last like that today. Always enjoy your videos and your unique style and vocabulary!
Yes!!! Tractor revivals are my favorite!!
Awesome
Is that hat available in the Vice Grip store?
When I was about six years old my daddy bought a house that had about 6 feet of weeds and growth and all that, the backyard was an Orchard in the City ! All kinda GOOD Fruit . Yep, he got a Bush Hog + ended up with a Wonderful Piece of Property 💕💪😎 , Thanks VGG+ Family!
The sheer joy when you fired that bad boy up had me feeling that excitement, too. Derek, you are one of my favorite humans. You really are a national treasure!
Suggestion, raise the 3pt hitch so the front of the cutter isn’t dragging and digging. Also, engage the PTO at idle. It is less of a shock to the mower and the tractor. When cutting, up the RPMs to over 2000. I think you will find that the cutter can co what you need and it will be steerable because the cutter isn’t dragging. We had a Ford 600 which was their next generation. These are good machines and will get the job dove for you. We miss our old tractor. It was fun
I think I have seen this before, but it is so well worth watching Derek work on things! Next I am going to watch Derek and his wife that has spray-painted her jeep wrangler, can’t wait!
Weird..Im having a late night my self
Now im learning how to restore a tractor il never own at 10pm. Thanks derek 👊 you're the man. Hands down
Derek, you sounded like Bob Ross during your “I know I’m blessed” moment 😂 took me back. Thank you Derek and family for all these amazing videos!
If 1% of humans were 10% as capable and productive as Derek this planet would be a paradise.
A fellers evening is now complete. Another round of wobble pops. Thank you Derek, you've been busy with the posting this week, much appreciated. Wishing a great weekend for you and yours.
Wow... My Uncle and I rebuilt his 8N about 15 years ago. Conversion to 12 volt.... Carb rebuilt. Rusty gas tank.... PTO seals.... Gauges... Good times with a great man!
Came for the insanity, Conway did not disappoint. Approved.
Whoa feller! 2 videos in one week?! Thanks for all you do… we appreciate you more than you know.
preach! 🙏🙏 you said it man!!
and that other show rescuing rigs, there's two Dereks, he should clone himself......
Thanks for the continued entertainment.
I hope you and the family are doing well!
Really struggling with mental health and vgg helps life's perspectives
Well what a co-inky-dink!
A guy was out in the boat shed messin round cleaning the carbs on the floaty thing and decided to see if the ole '48 8N thats also parked there would fire up....
Yep, thanks to a 12 volt conversion and a Pertronix Ignitor kit.
A guy can testify that those kits make life with a front mount distributer MUCH more gooder.
Then i come in, kick off the earth pounders, crack a cold snack, and find this vidja.
Shoulda had an Old Milwaukee, cause it doesnt get better than this!
Thanks for your hard work Derek.
Love that old timey country music.
Another great video!
Was it tom t hall.
"Let's see how many rocks and trees we can hit." 🤣🤣
My Grandfather had a 9n, rode around on that thing when I was a kid and mowed his field with it, I loved hearing the sound of that tractor again.
Got my own 8N just recently, I'm doing a complete rebuild with all new parts from steiner tractor. I want my grandkids to be able to use it long after I'm gone.
He's the Bob Ross of Mechanics.
Another awesome Friday night! Whoohoo!
Those are the greatest tractors ever made, super simple, super reliable, easy to use and extremely forgiving. First tractor I ever learned to use
New subscriber. Looking forward to your channel and journey. God bless you all and many prayers 🙏🏻 Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister 🙏🏻 Great new property 🙏🏻 cant wait to see the homes on it. Beautiful family!
My uncle that I'm named after had one of these, I remember as a kid watching him do everything with that tractor. Just this month we purchased his old property and are moving there. Really wanting to get one of these to work that same land again just like he did.
Derek, thank you for taking the effort to put up videos! I am retired NAVY , these videos remind me to get off my butt and work on projects that i missed out on while serving . Much Love Brother!
I know nothing about farming and I'm not really a ford guy but that's a COOL old tractor! Please do a 30 footer paint job at least red and white? ... and blue? No definitely not blue
We had one as a kid, it was my grandpa's. All that's left is the PTO driven cement mixer attachment. It's yours if you want it!
You're welcome! Some of us don't get a chance to enjoy the outdoors as you do. It's always a treat to watch you work on a tractor withe the sound of a Redwing blackbird in the background.
I heard it too, but only once at the end. If it was singing more than that, I'll just blame it on my old abused eardrums and..OOH, SQUIRREL!... my inattention.😁
Very nice looking tractor, rescued 39 9n from field years ago for 800 bucks was great spraying tractor. Updraft carbs were cast iron so jets plug if it sits, put calcium in front tires to assist with heavy tools,
My grandpa used a 1941 ford 9n for mowing most of his property. Every time he was done, he’d come in and ask 3 year old me if I wanted to help him put it away. I’m getting around to fixing it up for him so we can keep mowing with it.
In the mid '70's our neighbor bought one. All he used it for was clearing snow off the driveway. We lived in the suburbs.🚜
Is there a change , that you Derek will be on a European Tour someday ? Maybe a meet and greet ? Greetings from Germany . P.S. ...we have Cars in Germany too 😇
This channel is great overall, but I love the way a guy gets as or more excited getting and old tractor running again than when you get most other cars going. Very nice rig.
Love these tractor revivals! They bring back great memories of me and my grandpa.
I know you appreciate the views and subs, but the overwhelming amount of advertising breaks has me not wanting to watch anymore, a 50 second add every 4 minutes is pissing me off.
This brings back memories of watching my Dad use an 8n to cut brush for neighbors around 65 years ago, It was a nice little tractor. for a feller to get some work done. If you had a shade umbrella for it, that was even better.
Your revival of old vehicles is quite gratifying. This tractor has been taken care of so it won't take much to bring it up to the level you want.
Im in NC, and got a 1952 ford 8n, was sitting, you gave me inspiration to fix it, and got it running and driving yesterday, thank you for the videos and always look forward to seeing new ones, your comedy, experience, and the way you talk through things makes it easy for others to learn stuff, i have a few VWs and look foward to see you do a vw at some point.
My Dad had a Ford 8n back in the 70s. We had 8 acres. He cleared that property with that old tractor dragging trees and drilling out old stumps. Good memories.
A feller sure appreciates a VGG video.
I'm still waiting to hear who won the Ford F100
Derek singlehandedly saving most of the classics left in the world for future generations.
I have spent many hours on a tractor pulling a large mower like that and there is nothing like it, so calming and relaxing. 😊😊😊😊
Eyyy this was released on a guys birthday! Must be a sign (I love these old tractors)!!! 🚜 love to everyone here !!
Ahh, that steel guitar
Normally, I would dislike a tractor on what I consider a car show, but you work so hard and provide such great content constantly. I really can't complain. Now please drive that tractor 500 miles back home. 😀
He has driven a tractor home on one of the older videos. Wasn't 500 miles but it took him a bit to make it to the barn. 😂😂
😮 😅 😂
Personally I wished more them branch out, cars get boring after a bit, it's nice to alternate every so often the tractors, compressors etc..
grandpa had the big blue brother, he kept the shared dirt road from the camps cleared in winter and graveled in summer. loved that tractor, years later, living on a farm i helped a fella restore a ford 900 from around that same era. loved that old gal and Tank taught me a lot that summer, basic traactor repair, welding, etc. we lost him youngish a few years later, was a damn shame.
anyway now im just rambling.
thanks Derek for bringing me back a peice. much obliged sir
❤
More tractors!!!
Derek and Conway, two timeless classics
Thank you Derek for the wonderful entertainment.
It really helps me cope with life more than you know. It really is like having a friend.
Oh look! A lumberyard!
What a great man, whom doesn't take life for granted. Freely shares wisdom
I love this guy, he is so positive and funny. I don't know the first thing about cars, don't even have a driving license but I really enjoy watching! Thanx
EXACT same tractor on the current series of Bangers and Cash. And reasonably priced. ;D
Cold wobbles and VGG is all a feller looks forward to all week!!!!!! Thanks Derek!
PS
I’d love to see a video of just the clearing of your property! Call me crazy. 😂
