The Ford Tractor
I know, I know... It's tractors. But damn fellas, I love this little video. It was produced in 1951 and was used by Ford to promote and sell their tractors. Awe, the simple life...... To read the rest of this blog entry from The Ford Barn, click here.

Re: The Ford Tractor
I put in many hours on one of those traitors when I was a kid. I use to love backing up the dung spredder all around the fences and gates.

Re: The Ford Tractor
The first Ford I ever drove was a Fordson Major sitting on my Dad's lap. I was only 6 years old and he worked the pedals while I steererd. I think he learned the same way on an old Farmall tractor. Both of use were driving by ourselves by the age of 10. We could reach the pedals by then

Re: The Ford Tractor
I never had my 8N out of the pole barn to plow all this year, due to the freakishly warm "winter" we've had here in Michigan. I like the looks of that cab enclosure, but it probably wouldn't do much for me, because I always plow our road in reverse-seems to work better that way

Re: The Ford Tractor
I had a 9N for many years. Hauled logs, plowed snow and ground, hay rides.... I want to pick up another one some day. They're all over the place in this area too.

Re: The Ford Tractor
I've got a 1946 2n which has never been apart. It's amazing how many 2/9/8Ns are still operating and in use regularly.

Re: The Ford Tractor
"Heat Houser" was a brand name for these canvas units that strapped to a tractor. They were available for all makes and worked great. The canvas alongside the engine funneled the hot air from the radiator back to the driver. The fan pushed enough air to make it quite comfortable on a cold day. The only problem was a cold tail wind!

Re: The Ford Tractor
What I have on mine is really called a Hinson Weather Brake but around here they are all called heat housers. Quit a simple Idea and works good. Was really for a 600 Ford but almost fit the 8N. Thanks
