Well Chris, thank you for the awesome comment. I'm glad you got your tractor sorted out !! I like to mix ham with deer at a 50-50 ratio and grind it into sausage. Really good on pizza, or in chili or just along with some eggs in the morning. I tell ya, all us guys live in a strawberry patch compared to the sometimes brutal conditions the older generation lived through and survived. Those that went before us are the ones that actually deserve your appreciation....we are just the beneficiaries of their hard work because no matter how hard we goofed off, some of their dedication kinda wore off on us I guess. Thanks again for the kudos and have a wonderful day. (-;
Now that'd be a treat to see. Funk installed flathead Ford sixes in 'em years ago. They had special adaptions to the hood to sit a little higher and longer. I'd love to slip one of the old 289 v-8's in one. But probably never will. I'm sure the hardest part is making or buying an adapter plate for the desired motor.
He's just got to twist the distributor just a little bit then boil out the carb real good and it'll be ready to work !! With the generator not putting out quite enough, he may just go ahead and do a 12v change up too.
Certainly enjoyed the video, seeing you and the MOB working on the tractor. The majority was over my head but that didn't stop me to see it in its entirety.
Goeie môre my vriend. Dankie vir die baie vriendelike kommentaar. Hahahaha....I just thought I'd throw you a curve ball today. Something unexpected. Geniet 'n wonderlike dag in Suid-Afrika.
@@tractorman4461 Whaoo that was unexpected Wendell, every word and sentence is perfectly translated, well done, here is you curve ball, Jy is een van my mees gerespekteerde friende in US
The temporary gas tank is a dandy, whatever works, I guess! Enjoyed seeing the rebuild coaxed into started! The MOB did a fine job, just needs to talk a little more! Lol
Yeah, it was a little tight at first. It'll take a few hours of run time to break it in. He's still gonna change it to 12v because of the convenience. No one around here even works on generators any more. We fiddle with them, but really don't KNOW what we are doing.
Those fords where and still are a good design. they came out when tractors where replacing draft animal"s Henery Ford had the Patent on the three point lift. Your Brothers Tractor will now give many more decades of service. Some how I have aquired a dozen brand new tailpipes for those little tractors. Its great that the tailpipe is routed down and exits under the tractor. Never gets rain down the exhaust. I like that temporary gas tank!
The only bad thing about them running out the back was breathing the exhaust while running a buzz saw...other than that its a good idea. Yeah, we solder a valve into just about any kind of tank. I like using old freon tanks myself, but I've used lawnmower tanks and other gallon cans like this one too.
Enjoyed seeing the ol' tractor run. I owned a 1939 Ford ( I think it was a 2n? ) years ago. Finally could afford newer and went with a kubota bx 2660 12 years ago and a month ago traded up to a B2601. Have a Jesus filled day everyone Greg in Michigan

Thanks Tom for stopping in to watch a couple old fat guys tinker with rusty stuff. I don't really know how much knowledge is in there....but the load of luck is pretty sizeable !! Have a wonderful day.
Enjoyed the video! The grease fitting is a good idea! I replaced my bushing when I overhauled it years ago, that's a common problem with the Ford's but overall I like mine mainly for gathering firewood in the winter, it's handy getting through the woods. Brandon Little NC Farmer
Boy o boy, I've seen some so worn you'd think they were ready to fall off !! A little grease will go a long way to adding many years life to the tractor.
@@tractorman4461 Actually, 9it is the Continental engine ( and the Willys Hurricane engine ( in-line 6 ) that I was thinking about. We had a few of them in our fleet back in those days. :)
Well, mags tell a much different story Bryce. Sure don't have to worry about a dead or weak battery with one. We have several tractors with them and still have some with operating 6's or none at all. Without lights, all you need the generator for is to charge the battery. None of our old farm tractors had anything but 6's either...one had an 8v. As long as the 6v system is working, and it's not zero outside they're fine. Thanks for the input my friend.
One thing I have done, when hard cranking sucks voltage from the ignition, is leave the ignition switch off and hook my battery charger to the coil. It gives you full voltage to the ignition, even if your battery is being drawn down in voltage. Once it's running, turn on the ignition switch and remove the charger. This might also help in diagnosing a no start situation.
Now why have I not thought of that before !! That's the cool thing about uploading stuff on youtube....you'd be surprised at just how many good tips and ideas are presented in the comments to the videos. Thank you for watching and thank you for the superb input !! Have a great day.
Thanks David for the kind words. I got him to talk a bit on this one... I am also glad to hear you enjoy the videos we manage to get uploaded. Thanks for watching, I appreciate your time.
That’s a good idea for a grease zirk there on the front axle pivot bushing but I have one for you gentlemen here it goes I put a temperature gauge on on my 8N I cut the radiator hose just below the thermostat and put it a piece of copper then I drill a hole in it and solder in a fitting for a mechanical temperature gauge and drill a hole in the dashboard and even though it’s a 12 volt illuminated gauge 6 Volt is bright enough to read it and then you know what is happening to the head because the number 4 cylinder gets all the heat so it’s important to know how hot she is running and I use the 160 F thermostat like I said that #4 cylinder gets all the heat because of the manifold design so I never want to put a 180F thermostat it’s just to hot and those heads have a reputation for warping I had get mine decked and it always is a disappointment to take the hood off again and because you’re tractor has timing marks on the flywheel you can use a timing light on it. I am curious did you rebuild the oil pump and what was it putting out for pressure? Take care guys!😀🇨🇦
He installed a new oil pump...he told me what the pressure was but I don't recall what he read off the gauge that day. But it was more than adequate. That's a good solution to adding a mechanical temp gauge to the radiator hose...actually that's an awesome idea. Thanks for watching and leaving an awesome comment Keith !!
I like the video. But I'm on these nuts that would have like to seen maybe not step by step but the flow of the build. I understand your brother is camera shy. Great that you got it running.
I have to spread out a total engine rebuild into many parts. I'm doing a 188D diesel rebuild right now out of a 430 Case utility tractor. Ive not got it all the way apart yet and already have quite a few parts. I think there's 11 parts including bringing it home and the disassembly.

Looking really good guys. You are inspiring me to get my old 8N going again. I inherited my 8N from my Dad and Its been in the family for over 50 years. I first drove it when I was 7 or 8 years old and I am now 59. It would need a complete overhaul just like you have done here. What state are you in? I'm bringing it over! :)
Heck yeah, go for it. All it takes is time....well a little money too. (-; Like our dad always said...' ya ain't gonna get it done any younger'..!! Good luck with it, and btw, we are in good ol' Missouri.
that tractor should've been changed over 2/ 12 VOLTS 😊😊 that has alot more cranking amps there's still some old tractors out there that still 6 VOLT battery not much the carb should've been took off cleaned out and overhauled 😊😊 and 2 fine tune the timing U have 2 use a timing light 😊😊 OMG 9 1O 2O23
Today was just to get it back fired up for the first time after a full engine rebuild. All new internals...sleeves, pistons, rings, valves and springs, rod, main and cam bearings too...the whole shebang. He's going to do all the fine tuning now that its back on line. Plus he's also doing a 12v conversion too. We just wanted to see if the generator was generating. I convert almost all of them over to 12v. I don't like the slow crank of the 6v systems. Thanks Clarence for stopping by today.
The starter rope was jerked out of my hand mid stroke on the Stihl 660 A couple weeks ago and it messed up a nerve in my forearm.

Well 6v has its place and if it's a working system I don't mess with them...otherwise they get the 12v treatment. I don't work on generators 6v OR 12v. Thanks Nigel...I hope your summer is shaping up nicely over there my friend.
I don't think it's a Ford purist thing, but for those who like to "show" their tractors they like to keep it as original as possible. I think most would say, if your generator is in good working condition, and you have a healthy engine tuned properly, and a good 6V battery, they feel it isn't necessary to switch to 12V. They will also probably tell you if you live in a real cold area or if you want to use your tractor and not as a trailer queen, then 12V is the way to go. I use a few places to buy my parts for my Ford tractors, Just8ns, Dennis Carpenter, Yesterday's Tractors, Riplee's, and Pine Valley (the last two local places). You can get a free catalog from Dennis Carpenter, and they are a licensed Ford parts supplier and producer, and they carry parts for old Ford tractors, cars, trucks, etc. www.dennis-carpenter.com/ Gotta love the old N Series Fords. That one must be late 50 to 52, since it's a side mount distributor.
Hahahaha....I pretty much agree with all you said about 6v/12v. Neither of us has ever done the 'show' circuit so to speak. We like to be as trouble free as can be and be able to get on one and get going. My brother still has some tractors operating fine on 6v, but it looks like this one is going to be a candidate for the 12v conversion. I appreciate all the guys that DO keep them original and show them though. They have much more dedication than I. Yes, this is a '52 and most all the parts came from Just8n's. He did get a few small parts at the local auto parts. Freeze plugs and the like. And the distributor from Amazon. I'm gonna order one of the Dennis Carpenter catalogs...I have a couple old Ford trucks I need some parts for. Thanks for the thoughts and the link.

Ha! My old 8N needs a total rebuild too. Head gasket just let go and now I have a radiator full of oil. Your brother's 8n sounds real good. Where did he source his parts from?
The majority came from Just8n's. But a couple things were the local Auto parts stores and he bought the distributor as a new stock Amazon purchase.

Hey good morning buddy !! Thanks for tuning in today.
I’m Tippin anna Sippin all to Harry for this Brothers Tractor 44 Starting Up Adventure! Kind Thanks Fellers! I must Double Tip and Sip of course! Early Morning Hummin that engine! I think it’s got me goin plum good. Now if Brothers Tractor bot had tutus on? Well the way you guys were dancing around that tractor? I think an entire Tractor calendar for 2024 would have featured you fellers! Sex symbols I say fer ser! And a whole new line of tractor colors, parts and farmer fashion wear that would put Carhart to shame! Hey, there’s still time after the final adjustments. Now I godda go and tune something up or retire whatever but certainly not without Squeezez Pkeezez! I’m off to see the Wizard,,,,,,,I can’t, I know no wizards! What’s a dude todo? I know! I’ll pour another fresh CuppaJO and contemplate what to do next but with all the energy required I’ll need more JO, Tippin, Sippin and Squeezen! Now where the Harry is that camo tutu?!
Boy o boy DaveyJO you sure have the good ideas !! I doubt if all the Kings horses and all the Kings men could get the Much Older Brother in a tutu again.....not that he's EVER been in one though. LOL. I'm pretty sure we can put this idea to rest no matter HOW good it is. LOL. Thanks for the hearty laugh this fine morning my friend. Enjoy the hot cuppaJO, because that's 'zactly what I'm doing.
dont like 6 volt system especially in uk with damp conditions us army found the problem starting there vehicles in ww2 in on 6volt
Well 6v has its place and if it's a working system I don't mess with them...otherwise they get the 12v treatment. I don't work on generators 6v OR 12v. Thanks Nigel...I hope your summer is shaping up nicely over there my friend.
I don't think it's a Ford purist thing, but for those who like to "show" their tractors they like to keep it as original as possible. I think most would say, if your generator is in good working condition, and you have a healthy engine tuned properly, and a good 6V battery, they feel it isn't necessary to switch to 12V. They will also probably tell you if you live in a real cold area or if you want to use your tractor and not as a trailer queen, then 12V is the way to go.
I use a few places to buy my parts for my Ford tractors, Just8ns, Dennis Carpenter, Yesterday's Tractors, Riplee's, and Pine Valley (the last two local places). You can get a free catalog from Dennis Carpenter, and they are a licensed Ford parts supplier and producer, and they carry parts for old Ford tractors, cars, trucks, etc. www.dennis-carpenter.com/
Gotta love the old N Series Fords. That one must be late 50 to 52, since it's a side mount distributor.
Hahahaha....I pretty much agree with all you said about 6v/12v. Neither of us has ever done the 'show' circuit so to speak. We like to be as trouble free as can be and be able to get on one and get going. My brother still has some tractors operating fine on 6v, but it looks like this one is going to be a candidate for the 12v conversion. I appreciate all the guys that DO keep them original and show them though. They have much more dedication than I.
Yes, this is a '52 and most all the parts came from Just8n's. He did get a few small parts at the local auto parts. Freeze plugs and the like. And the distributor from Amazon. I'm gonna order one of the Dennis Carpenter catalogs...I have a couple old Ford trucks I need some parts for. Thanks for the thoughts and the link.
