Me and a buddy traverse many miles having similar conversations along our way. The only difference is we chase down vintage motorcycles. Men are men... well, mostly!
Good looking tractor i have a 52 with the Sherman high low with front bucket bought for 1500 put 2000 in it rebuilt engine and new breaks like your dad said little parts add up quick
It looks to have the front mounted distributor. In mid 1950, Ford moved the distributor to the right side and I can see the alternator in that area where a side mounted distributor would be. So this 8N would be 1947 to mid 1950, unless the engine was replaced with one from an older tractor. The serial number is on the left side of the engine so if the engine has been replaced, the serial number will be based on the engine. BTW, nice trailer.
@@shaffershomesteadI'm betting it's newer than 48. The early 8n's didn't have the shifter threaded for the black bakelite knob. They started with that shifter and dash with the proofmeter in it 1950.

It definitely doesn’t take long to get money tied up but then you have something nice afterwards!
It seems to be a little hard to start up but I like those tractors

Thanks for the info! And that trailer has helped haul A LOT of equipment for us!
its a 47 to 50 ,51 and 52 are the best years
Good to know!
Happy for dad and his new tractor 😀 and you guys spent some quality time together. Good stuff.
Agreed!!
That's the tractor I learned to drive on. I was about 10 years old 1955.
Wow! Definitely simpler tractors back then!
Pick up a carb to air cleaner pipe.
J’ai acheté le même 1952 la semaine passée ❤️👍
Congrats!
Nice 8N, what year is it? Very nicely restored. There are times I miss my 8. Looking forward to seeing more of this last N series tractor
He’s enjoying so far! And year is 1948 I believe

@@robarison2242 good to know
I really hope he didn’t spend 10g’s because everyone knows there so muck cheaper.
Is it a 9nd
