Grandpa had one when I was a young teen. I drove and operated one at 13-15 years old. Nice little tractor.

Yes. What little I know about tractors, I learned on one of those.

We had an old Ford 9N. Guessing it was a 70's model.


Was the first tractor I ever operated

I spent many an hour on a tractor like this Ford and on a Farmal Cub.

My gramps had the same. Flathead gas engine

Yes, but spent most of my early years on tractors on a Farmal Super A or a John Deere B

I learned to drive on my grandpa's Ford. 1970's and it was used when he bought it. I could not tell you the model or year.

Good memories.

Yep. 60s.

Dad/Myself/Son operated a 1949 Farmall.

I kept that tractor and later bought a 1969 International Harvester.

Mowed miles of pipeline right of way with one not near as nice as that one back in the day. It was ugly but dependable

I did, pasture mowing for my Dad's friend. It was his tractor.

Yes. My boat mechanic had one to move boats/trailers around his property...dang metal seat would burn you like nothing else in the summer.

Grandpa had a ‘53 NAA Jubilee. I learned to drive on that tractor.

Brother in law has one he still uses. He has a 4 ft shredder he pulls around with it.

Is that an 8N or a 9N? My paternal grandfather had bigger JD twin "Poppin' Johnnys" before he briefly had a newer F*** then finally a Farmall Super C (offset) my Dad ended up with and used until he bought his own JD3XXX and sold the Farmall to a neighbor.

Yes, America was farmed with thousands of these for years. My grandpa and my dad both had one.

I bought a 8N and took all the sheet metal off,cleaned and painted the engine,transmission and rearend ford red.Sanded all sheet metal and two coats of ford grey and assembled.It wasn't show quality but I mowed plenty of lots with it.Erby Cambell told me to buy a clutch over ride or I might run into a tree or a pond and I took his advice.

Owned a couple of them. Great little tractors

Brandon has

Used one to rake hay for an Uncle's custom hay baling op when I was a youngster.

Worked a JD 4020. I usually put in the hybrid sudan during spring break. Then go fishing.

That one is just gorgeous. Where is it located? Looks like a neat venue for those of us fond of "old iron."

I was raised one a 8N and a Farmall just North of Muleshoe.

Then, when I bought my land about 40 years ago, the first thing I did was buy an 8N. I had the engine totally overhauled and bought a set of new rear tires. That thing put in a lot of wheat crops for me and neighbors.

Later I bought a JD with a front end loader and the Ford has sat without the engine cranked for about 20 years. To use it, I would have to buy a new battery, clean out gas tank, carb, pour oil through it quite a few times and see what happens. I need my butt kicked for letting that thing sit.

Dad explained this to me as a kid ... brush hog RPM momentum could whip you around a bit!
