Thread: My newest find is a 1950 Ford Tractor.

Tweet

Well had my new tires and tubes put on my tractor front rims this morning.
Checked the water and oil and went to work on my 2 acres.
It was all kind of uneven when I started with tumble weeds, cactus and three big mesquite trees.
Those mesquite trees have big thorns about 3 inches long and are very unforgiving if you tangle with one.
Anyway in 2 hours I had it almost completely leveled out and 2 of the mesquite tree completely out and the other
on it's side with a few root's hanging on for dear life. The wife came out and called me in to eat so I wrapped it up for today.
Man I could not be more pleased with that little tractor it did one heck of a job and I piled everything in one corner where I
can scoop it up with the bucket and dump it on my trailer to go the dump. My wife was in shock and could not believe I got
all that done in 2 hours. It was a very ruff ride at first till it started to smooth out.
That's one tuff little tractor, Thanks for all your help with the info and sites, It was more help then you guys know.

Nice find, I’m really happy for you. There are a lot of places from where you can buy parts for this tractor. You just have to know which parts are fit for it. It often happens that not every part goes well and you buy it for nothing. A waste of money, that’s what it is. I recently bought a tractor and added to it an attachment that I’ve found here https://www.growgardener.com/top-5-b...ation-reviews/ to make from it a snow blower. I was lucky to find the perfect one.

the 8N is only about 25 horse so you really do have to watch what it will run. Mine can bog down with the bush hog. I tried pusing snow with it that will not happen. A snow blower may work depending on what it takes to turn it

Do you realize this is a 6 YEAR OLD thread?

Yes but I was replying to a current post

I was not referring to you, but to the newby whose FIRST post is to a 6 year old thread. IMHO, all threads need to be archived after a certain period of time.

I wish I had found something like yours. It is so hard to buy a tractor like this nowadays because most people who own one don't sell it. They keep it as a vintage piece of machinery. However, I decided to buy a small tractor from https://www.machinerydealer.co.uk/ and keep it to show my nephews and kids that tractors still exist and have an interesting structure. I assume everyone would like to have an old tractor and show it to people, but some are just happy to hold one because it is quite expensive and requires special care.
