WOW Steve what a project the 9600 it's going to be some tractor !! It's looks so right with Q cab on it you'd think it came out the factory like that. And what a marvelous job your doing in restoring it and your attention to detail will make it a good working tractor can't wait to see it progressing along to the finished tractor. Some land we now farm the gentleman farmed it using a 8600 and a 9600 lovely old tractors and the 9600 sounded lovely pull a four furrow dowdeswell plough wish I'd got some pictures of them but didn't have a phone with a camera in those day's !! Thanks very interesting video looking forward to more 👌👍
Steve, you have performed miracles to that old 9600. The time you have spent on it already, will result in a, not only good sounding but good looking workhorse for you! I can see why it has taken the time, because you are reengineering the whole m/c, and are doing a sterling job. Thanks for potting together the photo's and bits you have saved . I didn't know about mixing the different brake fluids, but then again, if I had done it, I would have changed all the fluid anyway! Thanks once again watching with great interest, as it's nice to se the "old" stuff being revived, even though I was working on those and similar when I was an Ag Mech in the 80's.
A farm I worked ran a Same Explorer 2 on the feeder wagon for about 10 year's. They bought it in about 2007 any way after years of good service we had to start blending the brakes every 6 or so weeks ago I think they replaced 2 master cylinder's I think cubicle house's has In built feeder's they've got to use the underpants too get the bottom of the beds and that coursed premature ware and a lot of leg work.
Great video Steve 👍 quite a rare tractor the 9600 was that a 401 engine in there 🤔 remember back in the 70s a large arable farm a few miles down the road from us got a new 8600 and a 9600 or they might have been an 8000 and a 9000 but remember they had white cabs which I believe were Hara cabs 🤔 they were also the first time I saw semi mounted ploughs behind a tractor 👍 looking forward to seeing the work on this going forward 👍
@dellhell8842 they certainly were, and i thought the cab suited the tractor that's why I bought it but I've had a fair bit of criticism about it over the years 🤨
Can't wait for the future videos pn the 96 I've seen another one like it with a q cab it use to pull a converted gully tanker cut off lorry chassis I wonder if it's the same one I use to see it alot around brentwood in essex interesting
@oakfarmagricultural506 thanks, they did with the next model the 9700, the first Q cab came out with the 7700 and the 9600 was just border line before that, but also it's American and i suppose the rules and regulations were different over there compared to us in the uk 🇬🇧
Good old American iron Steve, not many of them around my part of Wisconsin though, seen a couple but there rough, having the q cab is very unique l must say, credit to you for finding that, is the inside of the cab in fairly good shape?
@glennlingard7851 thanks theres not that many here in the uk, the cab is a complete rebuild with a few repair panel's and a full new interior which I've had here for awhile nice to here from somebody from across the pond 👍
@@FenlandCrusaderthanks Steve, very nice, l replaced the cab interior on my 1977 7600 q cab a few years ago, not an easy job to do right especially with aftermarket stuff, new door and window rubbers as well, well worth it, looking forward to more on updates on your Ford.
Steve, are you concerned about losing the temper in the steel on that front axle, being you heated it that hot? Those big Fords were quite popular here in the states. They had a good reputation for work horses. I always thought about one for my farming, but ended up with a big 4850 Deere and a 2594 Case/ IHC instead.
@frankwurth5375 thanks, and no not really I've done them before on different tractor's with success and this is the second one that wouldn't slide out so cutting it was the only answer, but they would've just pressed the steel and welded a plate in the back don't think it would've been heat treated afterwards, it's a hefty bit of steel 👍
It's great looking forward each week to see what project you'll be working on!! - I'm surprised that you've got time for any farm work!! You mentioned a while ago about putting a selene 4wd axle on the p6 - are you still considering that?

@ianmckay1780 thanks my friend, i need it so I'll just have to get stuck in to it

👍 Looking forward to see next video
@@juhalepisto9845 thanks 😊
It will be great to see the 9600 up and running now it's winter workshop is the best place to be ! Great video again !
@johnd7288 thanks John ,it's long awaited 👍
Very interesting! Love your proper engineering solutions to the problems you encounter! Looking forward to seeing it up and running!
@AshleyVincent-o5n thanks Ashley it might just be a tow tractor for a certain combine 😉
@ ooh I wonder where that is……..!😉
@AshleyVincent-o5n 🤔🫢
You're some man really enjoy watching your videos
@willmoore3790 thanks will, pleased you like them
You have made a great start to your project and improvements to it look forward to future videos
@stephenheyes4324 thanks Stephen appreciate that 👍
Great video thanks very interesting from Ireland
@AffectionateHorse-cp9ih thanks is there many 9600s in your part of the world?
Great video Steve 👍 quite a rare tractor the 9600 was that a 401 engine in there 🤔 remember back in the 70s a large arable farm a few miles down the road from us got a new 8600 and a 9600 or they might have been an 8000 and a 9000 but remember they had white cabs which I believe were Hara cabs 🤔 they were also the first time I saw semi mounted ploughs behind a tractor 👍 looking forward to seeing the work on this going forward 👍
@bobpaterson1845 thanks Bob, the cab is what's stopping it from moving forward so that'll be the next job 👍
The Ford Q and super Q cabs are amazing even by today's standards.
@Jambo-u2k thanks, yes I've always thought that, I
will put extra padding under the floor to give it a helping hand 👍
Excellent video and a great job so far, looking good!
@@charleshart6992 thanks
That bubble Q cab suits the 9600 very well. The Hara cabs never looked great in my opinion. The 9000 and 9600 were some beast in their day.
@dellhell8842 they certainly were, and i thought the cab suited the tractor that's why I bought it but I've had a fair bit of criticism about it over the years 🤨
Another interesting project... 👍
@kenshort8901 thanks Ken 😊
interesting project steve
@petergardner2334 thanks Peter 👍

@@MarkSmith-vi3gt thanks it came to me from down south on the m5 side carnt quite remember 🤔
I remember seeing this machine on Facebook and thought it looked really smart with the Q cab, it makes me wonder why ford never did it from factory
@oakfarmagricultural506 thanks, they did with the next model the 9700, the first Q cab came out with the 7700 and the 9600 was just border line before that, but also it's American and i suppose the rules and regulations were different over there compared to us in the uk 🇬🇧
That is a very interesting project. It will be great to see it in action again. I wonder where the Q cab came from.
@Casterton-Vintage thanks, the Q cab is off a 7700 first tractor with with the flat deck floor 👍
