    New here - what tractor to get

    Is it this tractor you are looking at? It looks like an 821 with the PTO option but it doesn't have a 3-point lift.

    8N stuck valve guides

    I have had really good luck with vinegar, to help free up stuck parts. The standard stuff you buy at the grocery store is 5% acidity, if you go to a hardware store you can get the cleaning type which is around 30%. I was tearing down a 52 8N engine last month & had one stuck valve guide...

    1944 Ford 2N and Ford 706 Reversible Scoop

    Growing up on the farm we had a Stockland Hydro-scoop. When I came home from school & saw the little 8n with the scoop attached, I knew what I was up to for the next several days... my favorite spring-time activity, picking rocks. :( This post was edited by History Buff (MN) on...

    Tractors on the screen

    How about the "Earthbuster" tractor in the 1950 Judy Garland film Summer Stock. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0ThZSrUexs

    Question on Jubilee Rear Wheel whooble.

    The original nut on the Jubilee had the snap ring. The new improved nut is designed to prevent premature wear on both axle and hub. Because sometimes the snap ring on the original type can fall out or rust out which allows the nut to come loose. The two piece is designed to stay tight...

    Question on Jubilee Rear Wheel whooble.

    Never done it myself, but shimming the axles shafts to make up for worn hubs is a technique that works if done correctly. I really like watching the videos put out by Claremont Classic Garage on Youtube. He goes through the shimming procedure at 21:18...

    Usual hitch on a Jubilee

    Sorry, I meant to type "unusual" hitch, not usual hitch. I don't know how to edit the subject line. Does anyone recognize this rear hitch? It's mounted on a Jubilee. [/img] This post was edited by History Buff (MN) on 09/07/2022 at 08:12 pm.

    What is this extra lever on a 841?

    I saw this ad for an 841 on TractorHouse. https://www.tractorhouse.com/listing/for-sale/213756641/ford-801-40-hp-to-99-hp-tractors I've never seen a Ford with an extra lever in that position. Is that a shuttle type transmission or something else?

    FORD 3000 REAR TIRES

    You can buy used or new center discs (they should be the standard 4 1/4" center hole, with the 6" 8 bolt lug pattern). Then a set of 24" six loop wheels. The 12" wide wheels are very easy to find. It might be feasible to buy the 24" wheels & cut the old 28" centers down & weld...

    Craziest stuff you saw at Lesueur?

    It was only manufactured for one year but the Farm Handy 3-wheeler, built by Farmhand Industries in 1966, was the forerunner of the Deere Gator, Kawasaki Mule, and other farm utility vehicles, says Lynn Klingaman, Columbia City, Ind. https://www.farmshow.com/a_article.php?aid=20597
