    O.T. The nerve of some people... (rant)

    First the legal issue. Your Uncle is liable if this loser gets hurt on his land. Some states are different but if he gets hurt he can sue you. If he's growing his own wacky weed on your Uncles property, guess who can go to jail? We have a huge problem with this in my area.

    Family Reunion and the 8n.

    We had a family reunion last weekend. My fathers side of the family, Five brothers and sisters who grew up from the depression to the sixties. So many stories that revolved around the 8n. From my father always rebuilding it between hotrodding his cars to my aunt and youngest uncle baling hay...

    How many tractors do you need?

    Thanks for all the reply's. I never hide them my wife just never seems to count them, but she sorta knows that there more every time she looks. She's a city girl so all she sees is whats in the yard or if the barn door or garage doors are open. If I see one at at good price and its running I...

    BUYING A TRACTOR

    Depends on him, is he mechanically inclined or not. If not go buy a new or newer NH or JD. If he a good wrench turner go get an older tractor and save the money. Some great old tractors are money pits, some arent. If you buy old really lookit over and make sure your not buying a dud that'll need...

    How many tractors do you need?

    My wife asked me this question a while back when she could no longer park her car in the garage. My "obsesssion" started with my grandfathers 8n. and has expanded to 5 8n's and one each of 9n and 2n. Each has a different job, mowing, plowing, bushhog and so on. Only "Gramps" is completly...

    Thinking about old Ferguson TO-30 on Craig's List

    Offer 450 cash and buy it! Before you take it see if you can get it to turn over or just crank. Even if the engine is seized its still worth the price. It looks from the pic that it only needs a seat and the three point to complete. And a coupla hundred hours and a thousand or so dollars. As for...

    Brush Hog vs Sickle Bar mower

    Like Bob said the sickle is only good where the the good is flat and even. Like for hay or other grass that is baled. It wont give the cut grass look of a hog or finish mower. But for just a one shot cut why not or if you dont want to spend money on a hog or finish mower. Blades for the sickle...

    Setting Pole Barn Post in Western New York?

    "48 seems deep enough if you properly set the poles. Whatever code is then go another 25%. Never hurts to built it heavier than you need. I made a rebar cage, anchored the cage to the beam with allthread, welded. Then poured 12" footers with some X"s made of rebar, set the poles and filled them...

    What's the right-sized rear blade for an 8n?

    Not a silly question and it is a easy answer. Everybody tries to overwork their tractors with attachments and implements that are too big just because it'll get the job done faster. Thats why you see fencelines with old tractors pushed into them. I use a six foot dearborn on Grampa's 8n probably...

    New rear tires???

    Ya know I gotta love my grandfather. He was a frugal man, not a penny pincher. I've always thought the reason the 8n leaned was the new tire on one side and the worn tire on the other. Always worked great when plowing, but here's the rub the one on the right is 12x28 and the left is 11x28. I...

    8Ndefenceand tribute toDad

    Best tractor ever made! Problem is that people want it to do what it wasnt designed for. Its a small 3pt machine thats it! Mine has been running since 52 and on its fourth generation in my family. My Grampa and my Dad hammered maintaining equipment into us. Most people run their equipment until...

    gas tank fix

    Sure you can do a quick fix with JB. But remember that tank been in your tractor for 50 years if there is one weak spot there is certainly others! Take it out and wash it out and check for other weak spots. Depending on your skill level or how well equipped your garage is its a diy or send it to...

    New rear tires???

    I have a tire question for everybody? What rear tires do you have and what you prefer. I have to replace the left rear tire on my grandfathers 52 8n. Its a firestone and is probably older than me(42yrs). Its had almost no tread as far back as I can remember, and has always had chains on both...
