Love it! I just love the Ford tractors! Mowing is one of my favorite jobs with my Fordson (English Ford) Major. Whether it be mowing hay, brush mowing, etc. Thank you for sharing.

I noticed your driveline isn't running straight. That puts more stress on the components. The solution is to tilt the mower so the front blade is lower than the rear. That is the recommended hookup. You may need to adjust your top link as well as your rear wheel. If that was a pheasant that crossed the road, you can improve your pheasant hunting and production by mowing that field in narrow strips 2 to 3 X the width of the mower so the hen pheasant has a place to nest undisturbed. Also cover to feed on weed seeds and insects for the young of pheasants and turkeys. Trees will start to grow in 3 years if not mowed. Mow the oldest one third every year in a rotation. Saves time, fuel, engine wear, and benefits the environment. It also makes it easier to walk the field to hunt and to find downed birds. Easier on your bird dog if you have one. You might consider wildlife plantings on the edge like nannyberry and barberry. I hate barberry because it is invasive but pheasants love it. I had roosters come to the yard every day to feed on it. I have an escapee rooster in my yard now hiding in the hazelnut bushes and feeding on lupine seeds.
Thanks for the video. I have one made in 1950. I you could raise the rear by lowering the wheel and lower the front about 1" lower than the rear it will take a lot less power to run that 5 footer.
This year we did start playing with adjustments. It helped due to some other comments. We think it needs a good tune up and service next year. Fuel tank cleaning as well. Thanks for commenting! Vic
It’s a mower not a plow..? You should never cut shorter than 6”. Your next cut should be @ 12-14”. Your most likely doing it for looks or fire prevention. Cut to short/often without enough rain will kill a pasture. ChiefD
@@VicsYard When you park for the winter stabilize the fuel, and fill it full to stop condensation, also change the fuel filter before starting. I always remove the plugs to check them and spray a healthy shot of WD40 in those old cylinders to help with compression and free possible stuck rings, it hurts nothing and may make a big difference. ChiefD
@@cwdtransport2247 We run non ethanol fuel 91 octane now. Had good luck with it the past 5-6 years. Look me some WD40. Got a 41 chris-craft in storage I do that to. Keep her from seizing up on me! Good info!
Guess the sing of how high the Hives are is how much snow we get ! Gonna be a Great Winter Eh-Vic ? Ole 8N & Hawg did a swell job ! Great Lil Trailor ! Happy Labor Day Bud ! ATB T God Bless
Wow! I did not realize paper wasps made paper wasp nest’s on the ground that look just like the ones hanging from trees. I had only ever seen Yellow jackets arise from underground
Used to use my stepdads Ford Jubilee skidding out logs, and using the backblade to level off his lot. The Jubilee had the low range, which made it nice. I've been pondering on purchasing a Jubilee or 9N this summer. Always see them in my area selling around $2000.00.
Got to hog once. The proper kind, not the ladies. Had to start the tractor by grounding with a screwdriver but it worked! Hardest part was not turning to sharp because to would tear up the property. Good times 🍻
Reversing: Disconnect PTO, raise Hog, back in - slowly. Turn off Gas. Run till motor stalls. Get off tractor. Should you use 437 or 216 plugs? 216 needs less “spark” Jury out for me - but... 216 winning the day. (35 years. Biggest problem? Spark) Nice N
I love my 8n ford. It belonged to my grandpa. He passed away about 2 weeks ago so I plan on keeping it. Now the only thing I hate about it is the way the clutch operates the pto. Everytime I have to push on the clutch it stops the brush hog. Wonder why they set it up that way? Other than that I love it. I just pulled the carburetor off to rebuild it. Probably hasn't been messed with sense 1949.
If it is a big issue, then buy a Overrun PTO clutch. It attaches to the PTO spline you then connect the cutters tumbler bar (PTO shaft) an Bob’s yer Uncle. Just put a shot of grease in for each use. Mine is over thirty years old. ChiefD
The reason is a major use of the PTO was one and two row corn pickers, you wanted ALL the rotating machinery to stop quickly in case of jamming , same with bailers. Not stopping quickly enough would break or shear some internal part. One other thing Never replace the shear pin with a grade 8 bolt, you hit something hard and you will break something inside the gearbox.. ChiefD
Gotta kinda slip the clutch and that's no good. I don't have much time running this machine. Did fill a little high in reverse. Guess better to go fast. lol
I bush hog twice a year with my Long 460 tractor. Last time I bush hogged I ran over an underground nest and got stung 3 times on the leg. Gotta be careful with those suckers!!
Little “tip” for cutting w/9-8n’s. Don’t cut in 90+ degree. You don’t like it, neither do they. Try some cheap screen between the radiator core and the radiator tilty thing. It will keep bugs and seeds from embedding into radiator core - not good. But make sure it isn’t so fine so as to keep air from flowing to radiator. You’ll be pleasantly surprised at what you stop. Use top link adjustment to keep Hog out of dirt, and “walk it” onfoot twice, before the weeds get as high as an elephants ear, otherwise - don’t complain if you run over the tree limbs the electric company left for YOU. You’re responsible for what the N can’t do.
Yes It is. Going back soon to run machine with some plows. Food plots for deer. Stay tuned for that video. My friend moved to Tennessee. Loves it. Lots of hills and county like this. Thanks
@@dieselwrench3621 It’s nice we love it. NY politics and Taxes are ruining it. People selling and moving out all the time. I’m looking for land as well. Hope prices drop in the next year or two.
No live PTO on an 8N. Pause the tractor with clutch, mower stops. Carry a brush in the field with you for removing fluff from the radiator. Backing up is easier if you can lift the brush hog with 3 pt. hitch. Don't wear blue while mowing. Blue attracts angry ground bees. Wear a mosquito headnet and safety helmet or bump cap and leather gloves, long sleeve shirt with collar you can turn up. Carry some Sting Kill. Yellow jackets will chase you at least 1/4 mile if you disturb their nest. You almost always will run over ground bee (yellow jacket) nests while brush hogging. Some will have nests in the ground and some will have paper nests at any height.
no live pto. need to buy an over riding clutch for the pto shaft. when you push in the clutch the mower will still drive the tractor forward through the gears. the clutch will allow the shaft to turn but not drive the tractor. my 8n almost drove me up a tree until i got the over riding clutch. be careful with it in close situations
Hopefully you have an overrunning clutch on the PTO, or stopping the tractor is a bitch. Without one,the mower will keep ping the tractor until it stops spinning.
Robert Heinkel I’m not sure what it has. Stay tuned for the next video. This weekend we are going to cut again. Will dig deeper into the tractor. 👍🏼 Vic
Watch the grill on the old girl. Most of those don’t have a temperature gauge and I see a bunch of chaff in the radiator when your trying to back her up. Real easy to overheat one of those if your not careful.
Your absolutely right. We clear it every time we run it. Checking fluid levels as well. We were just talking about trying to add a temperature gauge. Great comment THANK YOU!!!
@@VicsYard Several ways to do it. The "Best" way to do it is by putting one in the head. If you have a later model head on the engine there is actually an undrilled boss on the left side of the head near the front that is for this exact purpose. Ford put it there for Powerpack/generator applications. I drilled and tapped the head on my Granddads 8n for one. The other way is putting an inline deal in the upper hose. Not a fan of of that method but if you have an earlier style head that's about the only way to do it.
Thinking about picking up at 8n solely for brush cutting and tilling. Would you suggest it? My Kubota b3030 burned down and we ordered a new skid steer to replace it but still need to cut and till.
For the cost it’s a lot of machine for the money. Soon as I find one locally I’m buying one. If it’s for commercial work I would say get something more dependable and powerful. TY
G Black Thanks for the info. I’ll be with the boys again working the fields. Doing some food plots. Felt like she had more power in her. You can really hear it when we try putting it in the shed. Thanks!
We only cut high grass with this machine. I guess 8N's don't have good driveline protection. Hit some heavy stuff it goes right to the motor. Shocks the system. Thats my understanding. I was told the newer equipment have safety devises to protect from heavy hits. I got my eye out for a nice diesel tractor for next year. work the fields some. Set up some food plots. Thanks Vic
I cut 1 1/2 trees with my 8n all the time. We live on hilly steep ground so I "steer" with the brakes a lot. Front doesn't stay on ground well. But I dont want to put weight on the front because we also have very wet ground. The 8n has left, right brakes on one side and clutch on the other. That is the safest in the N series. Also you must run a overriding clutch to the pto or the mower will push the tractor .
Not very big. Might be 5 foot wide. It's a good size for it. We don't run it very hard. Nice and ez. Try to keep it out of brush. I was told the 8N has no clutches on the PTO. If you hit something hard it shocks everything right up to the motor. THANKS!
