I drove a 850 on the farm when I was a kid. It had the wide front end and power steering. It was a workhorse. I was happy for the power steering. I also drove an 8N and a 4000.
Wish I could find someone knowledgeable explaining the 2000 offset. My great grandfather bought it new and left it to my grandpa and my grandpa is leaving it to me. I have used it, my entire teenage and adult life, but just recently became interested in researching and finding out more information about it.
As an owner of a 1948 8n. Always a good tractor. The front mounted distributor is always fun to adjust. Onward!
Yup than can be a very good test of patience!
Nice tractors.. I have a golden jubilee and a 651
Really nice tractors.I have a 1957 641 that i restored and use to brushhog and boxblade.I love that old tractor and will never sell it.Anybody can go out and buy a new tractor ,but you get special feeling when your working on old iron that you restored and have to tinker with here and there to keep going.
Thank you for teaching
Awesome collection
Thanks for sharing! cool Tractors!
Great info. We got the English Fords in Australia. I am amazed how the Ferguson infulance followed so long into the newer models. But as you say their heritage is the 9N. I always admire the Goodyear Touque Grip tyres on the 2000. Very fitting for the era of tractor. These tyres were common in the 1970s on Fordson and Fords and very rare now ,but I think they are a nice touch on an old tractor. Thank you for a great video. Dave.
Thanks a lot, and thanks for watching! you guys have some pretty cool Fords over there too!
@@myclassicfords3658 I have a Fordson major Diesel and a Ford 7700. My brother inlaw has a Ford 5000 selecto speed. All great tractors.
I just learned something .Nobody ever explained the difference between 2-N, 9-N and 8-N. I have a 1950 8-N under my barn that belonged to my Dad and my two brother's. My Dad has passed but I don't know what my brother's plan to do with it. I've always thought it would make an interesting restoration project. I understand parts are still very much available.Looking forward to see what you do with yours. Maybe it will inspire me to talk with my brother's about the old girl.
They are a cheap restoration project if you do the work yourself. They also don’t take up much space and they are fantastic to work on vs a car. I want to paint one someday in base clear and do a perfect job then store it in my house!
I wouldn't leave that tractor set non running. At least I would take and put a battery in it and fresh gas and keep fresh gas in it. And make sure that it runs because it doesn't do it. Any good to just sit there in rust away?
That 2000 is beautiful!
Thanks! I really like it, I can’t wait to find a 4000 just like it.
I have a 981 Diesel with factory wide front.
That trike 960 is good looking tractor that would be awsome brush hog
I had a Ford 881 SoS, really miss that old tractor. Yup, had that selector, also had the option of the PTO being driven from the transmission (ground speed) and not off the engine. I can't remember but I believe that the "Fordson", "Fordson Major" and "Commander" also fell within the early years you mentioned but don't quote me on that. My 881 had the "golden" paint scheme so, if my memory serves correctly, believe it was a "demo" unit. For it's size, it had power. Cheers :)
Oh wow, I would love to get my hands on a gold demonstrator! That would be a really neat old tractor.
Never seen 2000 with that tin are 2000 is squir and it's a awsome go too tractor it's my favorit
We have to35 and 871governer is searching at high rpm .and i can still use it its just not rith high rpm will give you head ake .other than that worked OK.we have a bunch of blue diesels and their all great .
Got to have 2stage clutch using mower with out live pto is night mare trying brush Hog on my case 530
My grandfather had a 601 work master and a 700 series narrow front. Idk the model number i only know its a 700 series because the emblem in the front
I would love to have a work master! a red one for the collection!
Good video! Do you buy project tractors to restore? I have a 1960 641 I am wondering if I should sell or restore. Also a 68 5000 gas.
I do! When ever the tractor and money is available! I really like the 641 they are a very nice tractor to restore cheap and easy, and real nice red paint makes them look great. The 68 5000 very nice and very usable.
The only ford that I own is a 1946 ford Ferguson Tea 20
Select O Speed transmissions and bad wrist pins on the 6000 nearly put Ford out of the tractor business.
I agree, I think they had a little to big of tractor for the transmission. The technology just wasn’t there yet.
They also have really no clutch petal, it was called a inching pedal it was very jumpy you can’t ride it like a clutch.
Trying to back up slow to hook implements isn’t as nice as with a traditional clutch.
My favourite transmission is the 5 speed, I think it’s cool how 3 and reverse you can just swing the gear shift back and forth. Thanks a lot for watching!
The Select-O-Speed was a dangerous transmission in the earlier tractors. My uncles 801 had one and it would register on the shifter that you were P but you really were in R2. Had to slam it to get it into park.
