A good friend gave me a Ford 8N this morning. I came for the tractor knowledge and about lost it when your daughter was singing and you spoke. My little girl is 7 and I'm teaching her to be a light to this world. I see you are doing the same. Be encouraged!
I fear our government too Luke! I absolutely agree with you about love for family and country. I would like to have an 8n Ford someday. May God bless you and your family!
That drag is a great invention. Thank you. I will make one of these. I think it would work great for leveling out soil after tilling for regrading & adding swales.
Oh man! The carefree songs of your little girl will get you every time. Does me. I’ve got the same old Ford, (not running right now though) but she’s sweet. We must continue to pray for our government and those in authority. God bless America!! Live the dream my friend. You have blessed and wonderful family. Dave in KY
every moment is precious, you know this better than me Luke....like those before us our last measure may be required. Thanks for your video especially the last minute.
Great video Luke! Have 4-daughters myself and seeing your daughter singing on the tractor got my a bit misty-eyed, nice job! Your “scoop” is actually an old ferguson “transport” box. Pretty rare one neat item, had one myself I had restored and sold. Now back to working on my 1949 8N!
God is Good. Yep! I had tears with you when your daughter was singing our National Anthem. And I’m an Aussie, but I too love this country, but most of all I love this people. People like you..... and the Mighty 9n Ford Tractor. Can kill it, but with a minimum of love, it will do the Job. Ain’t that America.
@John Birman....Welcome Mate. People like YOU are what makes America great. I have NO problem with you honoring your 'heritage' by flying your 'Aussie' flag here. All we'd ask is that you fly 'Old Glory' at the same height.
Gotta love those old Fords. I am a 52 model myself. So that one would be awesome to have for myself. We were born at the same time. But wait, I was born again in 2002. Yeah, it took me a few years to see the Light. But at least now I am saved.
I enjoyed this video a lot. Gotta love those old 8N's! TBH, I was starting to think you were a bit of a goof and I was wondering how well that hat would keep the sun from beating down on my bald spot. But you redeemed yourself at 14:18. Such a show of genuine pride. Good on ya, fella!
I normally wouldn't sit through this one but hubby is a mechanic (diesel) but he can fix pretty much any equipment. He wanted to watch to the end. He will only store equipment with non ethanol. Anywho, Happy I watched until the end to hear the musical bonus and testimony..Good things come to those who wait. Thank you
You put tears in my eyes with your daughter and at the end. I fear "it" too but then again this is no impossible job eradicate those evil players for the Lord of Hosts. Fervent prayer is indicated.
I'm with you Luke! I fear our government too! We are losing our Country! Our laws are not being in forced to protect the American citizens! Have a bless my friend!
Love this video, I have a '52 Ford 8N. I can't wait for my daughter to be old enough to drive it on her own (she is 1.5y old now) we go for cruises around the property together ;) God bless -Luke
Easiest way to check for a stuck float is to open the float bowl drain on the carb, Which isn't a bad thing to do from time to time any way, if the float isn't stuck you could drain your whole tank here, if it's stuck it won't drain long and stop. If it stops wack the carb body with your plastic screw driver handle, wack it a couple times even, often that wack will pop it loose and and your done. I've got a 50 on 12 volt , a sweet old tractor.
I enjoyed this video more than most I've watched. I too love my country, love my family, and fear my government. (And I'm looking for a good 8N, which will help me stay sane.)
Hi, I have been using a maintenance dose of Seafoam and maintenance dose of Stabil in my occasionally used equipment. I mix it in when I buy the gas in 5 gallon cans. Stuff can be parked for a couple months and starts like you just shut it off. Just looked up the passage. I don't remember the citations, I guess I need to start trying, but the verse is one of my top 100 favorites. Thank you for all.
That Marvel Schebler carb is a TSX 241c. The last of the series. The 2 52 is the month and year made/installed. Almost bullet proof carbs and HIGHLY regarded with 'restorers' like myself. I can get twice as much for a 'c' on e-Bay than I can for an 'a' or a 'b'. (Actually, there's no 'a' designation. We just call the originals that.) The 'B's came with an aluminum model tag under an outside topcover screw. I believe that the TSX 241c was the first model of M/S carbs to feature stamped #'s on a Brass tag. The earlier 9N/2N TSX 33's were stamped in the same place directly into the cast iron. Now,... I've only been restoring these tractors for 19 of the 81 years that they were made so I will gracefully accept differing opinions. God Bless....~Eli.
My mind goes to Jelly in front of the camera often times.It was good seeing you too, would like to get together sometime and we can just have one on one conversation.
NEVER take a carb apart over dirt. Always do it over a bench so you dont loose parts or accidentally drop the carb in the dirt. Brush the carb down with a wire brush then use the carb cleaner itll save on the carb cleaner. You want the cleanest carb possible when complete. Also feel free to clean your tractor every now and then. A clean tractor is a happy tractor.
Hello Luke, a farmer near me was selling a MF 35 gasoline in working order. So many farmers are retiring and their kids are working office jobs. I'm a little reluctant to buy it but after watching you work on your 8N it seems like the gasoline tractors are little more forgiving of newbies. You have both, diesel and gas, do you have a preference or warnings for a first time buyer?
Sometimes I would be sitting on one of those things for 14 hours a day. I would the singing-"I gotta' get outta' this place if it's the last thing I ever do." That girl is cute though.
It's not the hope of the brave, it's home of the brave. Wow, how old did you say you were? At 14:47 you say hope. It's home. Thank you for loving your county. Now learn the song.
I’m also very dyslexic, thank you for pointing that out. Your brain does go to jelly when you’re on video, when you start a TH-cam channel someday I’ll make sure to do you a favor and point out all of your mishaps. It’s easier to correct somebody else than to start your own channel. Happy trails Luke 😉
Mr. Simons, I been thinking of getting a ford and using it for cutting ditches, as it appears like it'd be tough to tip it. Has that been your experience with yours? Also do you struggle coming by parts for them? Love the videos!
She’s a pretty handy machine for cutting ditches. Parts are very easy to fine for these old girls. If you have a choice get the 8N it has four speeds versus the 2N and the 9N only has three speed’s.
I do it professionally lol the cheap carb cleaner works better ! A tip you might already know a hard tap on the carb base with a hammer will un stick the needle valve if its not glaumed up too bad . I try not to worry about politics but things have gotten so crazy I'm scared FOR my country and Luke what happens when people completely forget God's ways ? I pray daily for America
Did you convert to a 12volt system? I used to have a 9n, the points were always a problem. How's the 3 point lift? Sure like your scoop and your manure spreader👍I fear our Government as well! Happy trails.
I love your channel and can tell your love for your little family surpasses all. I must ask, if you don't mind, are you Pentecostal? (1st Timothy Ch. 2 vs 8-10). I have a 1947 2N that hasn't run for nearly 12 years. I have parts on order.I hope to get her going this weekend!! Keep up the amazing work! The family that PRAYS together, STAYS together!! ♥️
I mean no disrespect by this question, Mr. Simons. When you were singing the Star Spangled Banner, I heard you say “hope of the brave”. Was that just a situation of lack of connectivity between the brain and vocal cords 😉, or is that a different version? I mean this as a legitimate question.
The way the fuel line is routed on an 8n, it is between the gas tank and the hot cylinder head and then is routed next to the hot exhaust manifold. It is much safer to have one piece steel line from the fuel bowl to the carburetor. If that hose fails and sprays gas on the hot manifold and ignites, you have a fire right beneath the gas tank. I enjoyed your video, I have a ‘49 8n that hasn’t been run in 16 years that I am trying to bring back to life.
Hey, thanks for the encouraging words. I can’t even comprehend how you must’ve been raised to say something so pointless to somebody you’ve never met. I feel sorry for hurting people that try to hurt other people. Seriously stop the negativity. Not everybody can be perfect like you friend.👍🏽
You're a good man Luke, wish we had more like you.
God is good, I fall short often. If it wasn’t for the grace of God I don’t know what I would do.
A good friend gave me a Ford 8N this morning. I came for the tractor knowledge and about lost it when your daughter was singing and you spoke. My little girl is 7 and I'm teaching her to be a light to this world. I see you are doing the same. Be encouraged!
I fear our government too Luke! I absolutely agree with you about love for family and country. I would like to have an 8n Ford someday. May God bless you and your family!
Watching this video gives me hope on good God fearing men long live the United States of America!
Awesome, Luke. You and your wife did a wonderful job raising that little girl.
Thank you, by gods grace they are turning out OK. Thank you for the high compliment.
That drag is a great invention. Thank you. I will make one of these. I think it would work great for leveling out soil after tilling for regrading & adding swales.
My grandfather had a 1952 ford 8n. He died and I got that tractor I got that tractor going and it's running strong
Oh man! The carefree songs of your little girl will get you every time. Does me.
I’ve got the same old Ford, (not running right now though) but she’s sweet.
We must continue to pray for our government and those in authority.
God bless America!!

Yessir!!!! Outstanding job raising the young in’s and instilling AMERICAN values in todays youth!!!! As a veteran hats off to you sir!!! Thank you!!
Great video Luke! Have 4-daughters myself and seeing your daughter singing on the tractor got my a bit misty-eyed, nice job! Your “scoop” is actually an old ferguson “transport” box. Pretty rare one neat item, had one myself I had restored and sold. Now back to working on my 1949 8N!

Thank you John comments like this keep making more videos.

Amen brother!!
God bless you, your daughter and America
That's a Blessing! God Bless you and your family!

Love Ford tractors and the USA, and you'll never go wrong!!
Frank here... I’m a new farmer from Adelaide ,Australia .... love watching your shows
Thank you Frank, you made my day.
You put tears in my eyes with your daughter and at the end. I fear "it" too but then again this is no impossible job eradicate those evil players for the Lord of Hosts. Fervent prayer is indicated.
I'm with you Luke! I fear our government too! We are losing our Country! Our laws are not being in forced to protect the American citizens! Have a bless my friend!
what a wonderful video... love your daughter... she is a blessing... wooohoo
Love this video, I have a '52 Ford 8N. I can't wait for my daughter to be old enough to drive it on her own (she is 1.5y old now) we go for cruises around the property together ;)
God bless
-Luke
Thumbs up for your daughter singing. I'm sure you're one proud papa. You just gained a new subscriber
Not going to lie sir. I don’t get teary-eyed for nothing. She got me as soon as I could hear the words....
Vic 🇺🇸
Give that old Ford dose of starting fluid.
Proud papa moment!! Great video !!! Earned a sub with this one. Cheers from Manitoulin Island Ontario Canada
Another great video. The government needs to be refreshed! Keep up the great videos. Cant wait for the work glove video.
It's a sad thing but true we all fear the government in one way or another. Love the video Luke! Nothing like an old ford !
Nice drag Luke and your daughter has a beautiful singing voice
That finnish wasn't fair! Now I I've got to give you a thumbs up!
Awesome Stuff...I'll try singing that on my 52 8n next time I fire it up!
Ok. You got me with your daughter singing!
Good family. Thank you

You're absolutely right Luke if you can fix that tractor anybody can thanks for the video
Well thanks I think.🤔😉
Dont ever let her leave . what a sweetheart.
I enjoyed this video more than most I've watched. I too love my country, love my family, and fear my government. (And I'm looking for a good 8N, which will help me stay sane.)

Super video !!
Great video Luke! Nice seeing you guys at the branding. I have to say don't go changing the words of our national anthem. :-)
My mind goes to Jelly in front of the camera often times.It was good seeing you too, would like to get together sometime and we can just have one on one conversation.
Singing was the icing on the cake!
I thought it was pretty special.😉
What I need is to live wherever that is. I want freedom and freedom isn't free.
Its Your points if it turns over I have a 52 as well my best tractor,boy have I done a tone of work
God bless America ..
Awesome Sauce
the first farm tractor I operated was 3 speed ford tractor with side rake when I was 6 or 7 yrs old
Powerful Blessing
Good job

The furgson care box was bit to be like a care all to move a cube bales of sacks of feed or milk around on the farm
Been having to clean a lot of carburetors this year due to all the moisture down here in east river SD. You been having a wet year up there?
Very wet year we are very blessed with good rain in tall grass.
Looks like you have a "dress hat" and a "work hat" (or you are not posting in the order you created the video's) Love your channel and family.
FREEDOM ISNT FREE!!!!!

I just now came across your channel/ video and I have a similar sentiment as you. I do love my country, but I do not trust my govt.
More men like you need to run for office.
😉

I love your channel and can tell your love for your little family surpasses all. I must ask, if you don't mind, are you Pentecostal? (1st Timothy Ch. 2 vs 8-10).

I have the chance to buy a 1948 8n, for $1000 dollars. Looks identical to yours. Hasn't been started in 10 years though. Comes with a bush hog too.
Amen
I mean no disrespect by this question, Mr. Simons. When you were singing the Star Spangled Banner, I heard you say “hope of the brave”. Was that just a situation of lack of connectivity between the brain and vocal cords 😉, or is that a different version? I mean this as a legitimate question.
You brought a smile to my face, you know I’ve always sing it that way. And I’m not sure why😉.
Happy trails
Luke
Good old ford......
Her choice of songs is great. We shouldn't fear our government, it's the self centered Demogodcrates we need to fear and vote out.
I wonder if luke is a dem or Republican
OK that's not the first three point hitch system Ford had, the 9n had it since , well 1939!
True but it was that N series that had the first three-point is what I meant. 9N 2N & 8N
Rubber fuel line is not a good idea on an 8N.
Why is that sir?
The way the fuel line is routed on an 8n, it is between the gas tank and the hot cylinder head and then is routed next to the hot exhaust manifold. It is much safer to have one piece steel line from the fuel bowl to the carburetor. If that hose fails and sprays gas on the hot manifold and ignites, you have a fire right beneath the gas tank. I enjoyed your video, I have a ‘49 8n that hasn’t been run in 16 years that I am trying to bring back to life.
To many want to make it a socialist country.
tell stupid u hook up the gas line before u turn on the gas
