I can relate to that, a neighbor here had a 8n, he thought it was slow when bushoging in 3rd gear , it could be difficult starting at times also. No problem it could have been fixed for sure. Well they got rid of their 8n and got a kioti diesel with a loader, 25 or 28 hp, now when cutting on the same ground, with the same 5ft ft cutter, it has to stay in 1st sometimes 2nd gear!!! That's a expensive lesson that I'm glad I didn't make.

@josephbruceismay6832 Years ago as a teenager, I couldn't stand fooling with trying to use it for work, pulling hay wagons, bushoging all day, these task were not suited for it, it's too small to use it safely. Then when you had to tinker with it to get it started, or fix it when it stalled in the middle of nowhere. This drove me crazy haveing to stop to try and fix the dang thing . I wanted diesels and cabs, go all day long with no problems. However, I have learned to repair this 9n and listen, pay attention to different sounds that could indicate that trouble was comeing , just around the corner. Ect. Now I look at it as a dependable tractor with several tasks that it is suited for. It also brings me a sense of accomplishment and pride when I complete whatever is necessary at the time. ]p])

No it doesn't have a Sherman or the other one, ive tried to find a complete running tractor with one in the past, no luck. I've seen one at a steam and gas show, wasn't for sale, though. Thanks for watching.

@@hnorton8298 I have a Hupp trans in my TO 20. The low range helps with the extreme brushhogging

I remember hearing that also.

Hi Richard, im sad to hear the tractor got away from your family .Time makes that happen a lot nowadays as we age. Priorities change over as we age. I have 6 other tractors they are mostly larger, specialty use . This was my grandfather's tractor, I use it alot too. If you are ever around in virginia,give me a shout, and I will let you take it for a spin !! Thanks for watching.

Wow, you have some great memories there, Im getting to the worn out stage in my life also. The area I was cutting ,I had been letting grow each year for the pollinators ,honeybees that I raise. But I have let it go too long so it had to come down. A 5 ft bushog and this brush was about all it could handle. Hang in there, enjoy life , Thanks for watching !!!

5 hrs on that tractor was enough for 1 day kinda stressful , this cutting was the limit for the tractor and 5 ft bushhog about all it was capable of. Thanks for watching.

I hope yours wasn't dropped like this one !! You cannot hurt them however, they are pretty much indestructible.

You're welcome

It happens !!

These girls are too old to be wild !!

That tall lespedeza is tough cutting.

How are the winter conditions where you are at ? Are you haveing the warm days also?

Since it was a 50 degree day yesterday the bees think it's a spring day, so they are looking for pollen to store in their colonys, the bees mix this with stored nectar or honey to make beebread, they use this to feed the baby larve. In these chicken feed bowls, they gather the corn dust it's the only thing that is remotely close to actual pollen ( protein) that is currently available in wintertime. Not many things are blooming now..

Thanks for visiting

Hi, Thanks for the comment, the bees came from Perdue univ, a retiring Beek had purchased these and lost interest. He turned them over to me. Look at their behavior with this soon to be deceased Hornet ruclips.net/video/RQwLSg4sVvE/видео.htmlsi=MK-goHQtPy5sIqPK

It makes a world of difference , your knees are lower, your legs help support your body, and you sit up higher with a better view in front of the hood. I made a mistake in putting the original seat back on, the next time I used the tractor, I had swapped them back before I finished useing it that day. Too uncomfortable.

Hi, The next morning, everyone was in the 2 boxes, There were actually 2 queens in there also, I waited 2 days, both queens were still alive, I split them again to separate them!!

@@hnorton8298 I'm so glad it was a happy ending! sounds like it was a swarm gone wrong but you fixed it.

It's all steel, it starts and runs all day long if necessary, and does what is expected , no excuses !

THANK YOU, They have a pampered life.

Good morning, I'll get some pics and info together on it. The stock oem seats sat so low and had no back support, my father and grandfather had difficulty staying in the seat all day. , so in 1970 or so my father installed the seat and a block under it to raise the height this makes the tractor more usable for a days worth of work.

@@hnorton8298 Thank you!! 😃 👍

@@AllAmericanDreamChaser Glad to !

I'm sure it will out live me !!

Hi, I'm takeing it easy with the old saw, chain is sharp as it can be,see the chips? can you hear the chain rattling? The lube is too thick it stopped pumping, I need the thinner lube for the winter. There was a revision for the 500 s, on the chain lube pump I think. I'm sure I could use it on this saw.when it started rattling I back off the throttle even more.

Hang on to those 8n's , maintaining this old stuff is a fraction of the price of purchasing another replacement tractor.

Hi Kirk, Over the years money was extremely limited here, as a result whatever was damaged by battery acid was replaced with whatever could be found, several times previously used cables were installed with acid intrusion already in the crimped terminals or the brass battery terminals which was a shame. These were not in any better shape than what they were supposed to replace. The cables that I fabricated here made a world of difference. Thanks for the reminder about it being a 40 model, the dealer handwtitten invoice had it listed as a 39 model, that was 82 years ago now. You have a bunch of great videos on your channel. Thanks.
