I grew up on the 1949 8n my grandfather had. He died before I was born and dad took over the farm. Head gasket went out and dad would never get it fixed. Sat for 6-8 yrs. Around 5 years ago, I bought a 1950 8n off a guys driveway. Worked for a couple of years and broke. A friend said he could fix it so took it to his place and it sat, and sat, and sat..... so I bought a 1951 8n off an online auction and used the last few years. My friend finally fixed my 1950 after it sitting for 2.5 years, and no one would do the head gasket job on the 1949 so I did my research and learned what to do and did everything and was successful. Got it done and everything fixed and back together this last December. We had a 50-degree weekend, and I finished it, and she ran like a gem. I'm thrilled they are all fixed and will continue to use them all. The 8n is one of the best tractors of all time.

Why are the carburetor hard to adjust

Great job! Wondering if you were able to reuse most or all of the original screws and such or did you have to fine substitutions and what ever happened with the firebox. I have just purchased an old Stewart stove in pretty good shape other than just pieces in the firebox and not really sure what the original set up and structure was supposed to be. Any recommendations for resources?

I am a wood stove person have been all my life just put a new stove in the living room love it

Very descriptive and correct. The Ford 8 and 9 N’s are easy to repair and parts are plentiful. I think this Tractor was probably The most common in the United States and Canada.

Sieht super aus. Hast du gut gemacht. 👍👍👍

My grandparents farm of 11 acres was all farmed with a 8n, ran 2 row corn picker, cut rake and bale hay, plow 4 acres, disc 4 acres, bring in wood, pull fence posts out, plow snow, run 2 row corn planter, bushhog pasture, run manure spreader, for nearly 60 yrs and never had a problem other than generator rebuilt, plugs, change oil, a tire or two..

Very Good info Larry 👍

What a great project you had during Covid!

I have a piglet that I raised from week 1. the mother died. the rest of the siblings died as a result. this one piglet made it. half kunekune, half meishan. it's the most adorable piglet ever. she wants to play fight me most of the time. I was really interested to see what she would look like at maturity.

I cut a piece of steel diamond plate to line one of my woodstoves. I was not happy with the draw of the stove so I lined the inside of the box to reduce the inside volume of the stove box. I also used fire-caulk on the inside seams to control leakage of air and smoke. It Works fine.. I haven't used it in a few years. If we get enough cold weather I hope to fire it up this winter. I will have to check the box for leaks and run a brush through the pipe. Thanks for the video.

I have worked on a few woodstoves. .i take them apart. Sometimes the bolts break off but they are easily replaced. Sometimes I had to cut them off with a saws-all. I wire-brush the parts with a wire-wheel in a drill. Then I put a couple of coats of high heat bbq grill paint on the parts so they don't immediately start rusting again. Don't over tighten the nuts when you re-assemble it.. Give it room to expand and contract as it heats and cools i think that's how most parts get cracked or broken. One fellow stove restorer uses a high temp gasket material between the parts. I have a like new four burner stove That I want to take apart and put gasket material in before I fire it up. I will have to find a source for double lined stainless steel stove pipe for the going through the attic part of the installation. Lots of fun restoring stoves. Thanks for the video

Inherited a 1952 8N with plow, disk, and cultivator from my dad. Still use them today!

Another good tractor Sears Suburban th-cam.com/users/shortsV10a7oGei_Q?feature=share

Great video. How hard was it to disasemble the stove? I have to partially disasemble one to make it light enough to get it across a lake and up a hill to a lake access cottage.

You are going to regret using paint on the top of that stove. It will burn off and smoke like mad

Good looking tractor I have a Ford 3000 tractor I am blessed to have one I have several times for it I think the 6 foot tiller is my favorite

No idea how for into Ohio you are but up in white lake Michigan on the Facebook marketplace there is a stove almost identical to this one with a different name and it has all the pieces you are missing search: 1892? Pittston "Happy Thought" cook stove If i had a way to private message you i would just share the link

Nice work, amazing!

And not all stoves were painted from the factory some were just oiled like the gentlemen stated

If the person you get to weld it is any good you won't even be able to tell it was welded!! Use nickle rods.

It's not stamped it's part of the mold worked in a foundry a long time

Don't be afraid of the old Ford or John Deere tractors, the rest can be a bear to find parts for. I started out 50 years ago with a 9n Ford and used it for everything from pulling down an old barn to plowing 20 acres. I cut and bailed hay with it, put in my garden with it, hauled hay, and dug a pond. That tractor is long gone, but a few weeks ago I bought two 8n fords, One for $600 and one with a loader for $700. Neither ran until I put in new gas, a battery, and a set of spark plugs. They both cranked right up and ran like new.

Thanks for the tip on the antique stove restorers! I just bought an old Home Comfort in very rough condition for $150. The guy claimed he’d been using it in his cabin until recently, but we’ll see. It’s going to need a lot of work to get it back to usable condition

Does it have power steering?

Planning to get one this summer. I only have 5 acres and itll do just fine for all my needs here

Did you ever find the shaker grates and line the firebox?

Ie ploughed at least 30acers eery year for at least 15 to 20 years

IMHO the 8 N is too fast for a PTO tiller. Wish they had a lower gear. I use mine to brush hog, back blade and pull trailers or a carryall for firewood. Great little tractor for sure! I changed my oil filter to a spin filter using a conversion kit. Just put new back tires on it last year.

I’m looking to buy one of these for our little farm

I was givin one of theses tractors just the other day

I think your camera is older than the stove.

the only problem with the 2N, the 9N, the 8N and the Jubilee is that there were too many greedy junk dealers during the 70s, early 80s, they scraped thousands of them for a few bucks. sad, but these tractors replaced millions of horses.

I have two 8Ns, one Jubilee, and one 850.

wtf all you do is talk shut up and restor it

I just picked up a Meishan sow and 4 of her Meishan x Kunekune piglets last weekend.

Iv seen people with those types of wood stove hook those pipes up to a cast iron radiator and that hot water somehow will flow through the radiator and transfer heat

I would want too change the exhaust back too under the belly I traded my 8N for a Fordson Dexta because it had live pto. But still miss it

I have one that I bought in the early 80's . Going to have the 12 volt system changed to 12. It's still used today.

This looks so much like the Glenwood I just brought home...also made in Taunton, MA!

I just inherited a very similar stove to yours I live in Dartmouth Mass I contacted the stove doctor which the gentleman you're talking about he's in Little Compton Rhode Island. He's restoring mine as we speak. Very old school very very nice people you'll be in good hands if you deal with him. Good luck with your project

Hey brother kick ass job on that old cast iron stove I have a TH-cam channel I just restored a 100 year old Dutch oven And I love that kind of stuff awesome job did you ever shoot a video of it working. Take care Bryan (Little Art)

You are so right. Those 8N tractors are a good choice for people who have basic mechanical skills. None of today’s modern tractors will have cheap parts available 70 years from now.

You’ll probably find it extremely dry in a very large area without that water tank, unless of course that’s what you’re going for

The water heater worked much like a car radiator. The cold water intake was on top and the hot water came out the bottom..

As best I can remember ... that's pretty much the EXACT tractor (probably same year) that I watched clear the lot that became our family homestead. We moved in around June 1953. Have loved these tractors ever since.

Couldn’t have said it better!

Can we see it working.

MY MOM FED US WITH A STOVE LIKE THIS, MISS HER & THOSE MEALS . ESPECIALLY THAT HOMEMADE BREAD.❤

Just bought a 1951 Ford 8n this week and are learning the ropes on it, so thank you for your video! I love how quiet it is and I love it that we can find parts easily. Can't wait to see what it can do on our small homestead.
