3000 miles in a flathead? Easy! I would love a road trip but I have to work to pay for my old car stuff so I am stuck up here in WA for now. Nice to have a place for all your toys. Thanks for the invite!

I'd take a ride up your way but, I also have to work... We try to have as much fun as we can with Flatheads so, if you're ever in the area, stop by.

More Lunch Hour Fun???

Or, "If Pine needles were a dollar a piece; I'd be a billionaire ten times over".
Maybe a bit off topic but...This is why I need (read that WANT) a Ford 8N Tractor... The little John Deere just won't cut it... (pun most certainly intended).


Do any of you have, or know of, an 8N for sale?

Hi Tony, thanks for that info. I'll try to remember that as the Moonshine Festival gets closer... I may have to install a receiver hitch on the '51 F-1 just incase I find an 8N up in Georgia...

Vic, you could go steal your neighbors (I mean borrow)! As I recall that one was in good shape.

An 8N - or better yet, a Worthington - would look just right manicuring your grounds.

Henry, I'm partial to the 8N, most of my Uncles (on my mom's side) had 8N's when I was a kid, I can remember playing on them... I would actually enjoy mowing the lawn, if I could sit atop an 8N while smoking a good cigar, to mow it!

I've been working diligently toward my goal of getting garage space, where our apartment was, moving "stuff" around to try and figure out the best configuration accommodate more vehicles and their related parts, etc. Here's a shot of Four of our Flatheads sitting in the sun and waiting for me to make room...
