These things are unstoppable. My granddaddies both had old Ford tractors I remember driving. He mentions in the vid you can buy repair kits at any farm store. He actually didn’t do much to get it running besides cleaning it up, a new coil was the most prominent part. Not a lot to them. --FT Se

The ultimate beauty of old tractors is that there isn't much to them. One of the guys in the snowmobile club mows trails for us with an 8n and a 3pt bush hog. I've been tempted to get one for the farm, the 3pt is danged handy. Quite a bit smaller than my Farmall Super M but would use a lot less

My grandfather, a mechanic, hated Ford tractors. Said he saw too many of them at the shop. (Not sure if he calibrated against numbers produced and in the field.) He bought a Minneapolis Moline UTS when he got one. And later, a Farmall 200. My brother still has them. -- Jim __

Won’t start hot now. The lever on back is fully actuated whereas it wasn’t when it was running. I probably need to bypass the automatic “convenience “ devices and just do choke and throttle manually as g-d intended. --FT Sent from iFōn > On Apr 16, 2022, at 1:17 PM, Buggered Benzmail > wrote
