It was my intention to fix and sell it once done. By the time I had put it together we had so much of ourselves invested I couldn't part with it. The last move forced a decision and I sold it to a neighbor who wanted it to run in the lightweight tractor pulls. 😁😎
Love those old Farmall tractors! Great tractor failey easy to work on! Looks like you done a great job! Looks great! We are always praying for Lydia 🙏🙏🙏
That tractor was a workhorse. When we moved I sold this tractor and kept the 8N. A guy who did tractor pulling bought it because it weighed so little he could tow it behind his pickup.
A very satisfying end to lots of hard work and probably late nights. Turned out great Dave. I saw one of those Farmall tractors in Cairns, Australia last week, while on holidays, in a historical museum. Nice machines.
It wasn't a sure thing. Several times it was only the desire to prove I could that kept me going. The cracked block was a deal killer. I attempted to find a replacement without success. I had some nickel rod left from another project so I started trying to weld it water tight. Not easy, but it did work. 😁😎
Wow, that was a huge project. Turned out great. Very cool! I had for several years a grand old '52 Ford 8N that I had a blast doing a 'refresh' on, but not to the extent you did on your Farmall. Love the 'old school' photo presentation! Digital photography, in my opinion, will never hold a candle to film. Film, somehow, just has way more 'soul' than digital. I know, I know!!! Get on, get off, or get out of the way!!! I hear you guys!!! Happy New Year to all!
How's she goin'? Now this would be a dream project for me. So interesting to work on this I bet. And look at how it turned out!! She's a beauty Dave!! Thanks for sharing!!
it was a great project. It just happened to fit into my skill set and I only invested lots of time and a little money. A sane person would have passed it by. As my friend said I might never ride it again once it came off the trailer. A tribute to how durable those old machines are. Also a great group of friends who provided help and information along with a couple used sleeves to replace the two cracked ones that eventually were replaced. One at a time of course. 3 teardowns. So much fun without even lookng for it. 😁😎
I would have been happy to sell it to you in 2011. We sold the farm and moved into a suburban ranch house. I kept the Ford 8N but sold the 3 ton 46 Ford 3 ton flatbed truck and the Farmall B. I feel bad about selling both. The Farmall had a cracked block that held together 10 years after I welded it before it failed again. Sold it for $200 to a guy for parts. The 46 Ford was a real loss. I rebuilt it from parts from top to bottom. It had a souped up 59AB 236 cu in flathead V8 with a four speed trans and a two speed vacuum operated differential. I also added a PTO driven 10 ton cable winch attached to the 16 foot x 8 foot truck bed. Just didn't have room to keep it anymore. Sei La Vi. 😁😎
Now I see the idea for the vlogging set up.
Great idea to share your photos from before digital photos.
That's a great idea! 😁😎
Thanks for the ride down memory lane! Great memories of a great project you will always have with you and your son!

Great Memories for you and your Son. Looks much better. They built those tractors to work and when gone through they are pretty reliable.
It was a lot of fun. We worked on it a long time then drove it in parades, did hay rides, and plowed driveways with it for 10 years. 😁😎

Thanks for a great picture show. Congrats on getting it running and rideable.

Farmall b cultivator installation

A sane person would have walked away. 😁😎
Nice Photo tour Dave! Tractor looked awesome!!!!!!!!
Thanks John. It was a fun project. Both the restoration and the video. 😁😎

Just trying something new. Nice to be able to use the Christmas present too. 😁😎
We agree on that issue.
The big Canon has high resolution. The Nikon film camera beats it hands down.
Sooooo good,thank you!
Thank you too! 😁😎
Fantastic Video
Thank you very much! 😁😎
@@OldSneelock your welcome buddy. Keep up the great videos

Nice job
$2.00 worth of paint adds $10.00 to the tractor.
I want to get one of those Minneapolis-Moline Tractors that looks like a Farmall that someone painted the wrong color.
I wanted a Farmall F20. Made before the sheet metal covered everything.
Good memories
I will give you 1000 bucks for it and you double your money. Just kidding I know you would t sell it!
